  Discontinued SteamOS 3 (Holo) archiso configuration [Moved to: https://github.com/HoloISO/holoiso] (by theVakhovskeIsTaken)

  

If you have an AMD graphics card, HoloISO takes the actual Steam Deck recovery image and adds patches for desktop compatibility. It tries to change the OS as little as possible, maintaining the deck experiences. While it can work on Nvidia and Intel graphics, it is most stable and performant on AMD.

  winesapOS - Game with Linux anywhere, no installation required!

If you want something similar to HoloISO, but it has everything you need out of the box, there is WinesapOS. It is also based on the Steam recovery image, but with a bunch of apps and changes for desktop gamers. For an advanced user it would be too bloated, but for a beginner it means you will not need to install or setup apps for any of your game launchers, antivirus software, Chrome, Wine, etc. It also features Intel Mac support, which is pretty cool.

  Lynis - Security auditing tool for Linux, macOS, and UNIX-based systems. Assists with compliance testing (HIPAA/ISO27001/PCI DSS) and system hardening. Agentless, and installation optional.

  

While I think it's fair to recognize the amount of work to patch Windows for security and compatibility, I also think it's unfair for you to regard SteamOS as a "hobbyist" OS that has poor security. SteamOS is based on Arch Linux. From Linux, to Arch distro, to SteamOS, this open source development loop cannot be compared with what you call a "phase" Windows has gone through. The only "phase" I saw since Windows 95 is how Microsoft commercially pushed this OS on every PC possible such that Valve had to rely on WINE to get out of Windows's control. At least for security, the dev team of Arch take security very seriously and I'm sure you know the robustness of Linux in general to win the servers as opposed to Windows servers. Sure, SteamOS is behind the kernel schedule at the moment as opposed to mainstream Linux distros, but a moment ago I ran one of popular security audit script Lynis on my SteamOS, and it turned out to be a hardening index of 64, which is a decent number among all general purpose Unix machines.
