SteamFork works with and supports many devices made by popular manufacturers including ASUS, Ayaneo, Ayn, and Antec. * For example, if you're an ROG Ally user, you have closer access to the ROG Ally Linux kernel developer, they're the ROG Ally maintainer at SteamFork. * ASUS tests Linux compatibility of their firmware updates on SteamFork.
SteamFork is derived from SteamOS 3.6, and it is the only active community distribution that is built from SteamOS's repos.
It is a stable distribution that releases early and releases often so any bug fixes and improvements are available quickly.
It is compatible with nearly all SteamOS plugins and documentation.
It benefits from SteamOS being upstream in addition to its own and community wide development efforts.
SteamFork contributes to multiple open source projects so the whole community benefits from the work whenever possible.
The development team has decades of experience working on FOSS.
Note that SteamFork does not support the Steam Deck as official SteamOS is the best solution for that hardware.

Well, matter of taste. This is kind of fork of steam os, as name suggests
