There’s been a proposal for Fedora Linux to become a new Fedora immutable variant and now it’s been approved by the Fedora Engineering and Steering Committee (FESCo) to happen for the Fedora 39 cycle.

Fedora’s immutable variants are more flexible than SteamOS 3 currently is.
Fedora supports package layering (and the layered packages are reapplied on system image updates), you can pin multiple deployments and switch between them, and the ostree managed /etc is more advanced than the overlayfs setup that SteamOS uses.
SteamOS’s simpler approach is perfectly fine for its intended purpose though.
Thanks for letting me know! I’ve got a lot of experience with SteamOS but not so much the immutable Fedoras. Should give them a try in the future.
