What's the advantage over running steamos? So far steamOS just works as intended for the most part and am hesitant to change it for minimal benefit

It comes with more up to date dependencies, is less locked down, and has gaming tweaks and the like preinstalled and configured. Additionally as it’s rpm-ostree based it has a safe immutable base like steamOS while still allowing layered packages meaning you can install what you need to when you need to.

Unless you specifically want to tinker with the system you probably want to stick with SteamOS.
