Bazzite is just for steam, right? Would that mean it plays Windows based games via Proton layer? Proton blows on Batocera. Shame, because Bato was pretty nice.
I strongly dislike Windows, but it was the only way I could cobble together something for this use case that just works

Bazzite is an OS that is similar to SteamOS, but no it’s not “just for Steam.”
It’s a full Linux distro that is built for gaming, but not only gaming. It is very well integrated with Proton. You don’t need to use Steam to launch games, but it makes it easier.

Proton must have come along in leaps and bounds since I last used it in that case.
What front end does Bazzite use? I understood it to have Steam baked in; most of my games are from other sources, like GoG.
I think once Steam kills support for Win 10 (probs in a year or two, based on history) the smart move is going to be something like Bazzite.

I don’t know what you mean by “front end.” It replaces Windows entirely.
Or do you mean the desktop environment? I use KDE but I think you can use Gnome if you want.
The OS itself is based on an immutable version of Fedora that’s optimized for gaming.
There are other launchers for non-Steam games, or you can just add the game to Steam as a non-Steam game and launch it from there with Proton.
It’s like shockingly easy to do.
