First I've heard of it, but digging in, it's a Fedora 41 based image with some specific driver supports through third-party packages (Nvidia), so really seems like it's a Steam BPM replacement? Seems to use Proton under the hood as well, but curious about what their using for the different store backends if anything, or is it just going to install Steam, Gog...etc.

Anyone tried it?
