Avoid layering. The best way to install packages via a package manager is through Distrobox. This has the advantages of not allowing down the update prices, being available immediately without a restart, and also with Distrobox you can use any distro + package manager you want.

I should specify that Bazzite is really just for power users or tinkerers. It has a lot better capabilities.
Like others have said that of all you’re doing is playing games SteamOS is fine.

The Bazzite community is fantastic. I’m sure they can figure that out.
I’d recommend Bazzite over SteamOS. Even if I was buying a Steam Machine, I would still just use Bazzite.
Edit: just to clarify because I made this post hastily that I would only suggest Bazzite for power users. SteamOS is just fine for a lot of folks.
I had that Crash Test Dummies game on the Game Boy. I don’t think I knew there was a Game Gear version. I need to check that out.
In my experience, people will put garlic in mayo and call it aioli.
SteamOS probably isn’t going to have any advantages over Bazzite unless you find Bazzite to be too complex.
