Pretty exciting times ahead as Valve might finally release SteamOS to more hardware. This amount of Linux desktop coverage would be unimaginable few years ago.

Changes aren't lost on update. If you enable a sudo user/password, and make changes to the system that way, those changes can be lost when applying the new system image.

Its an immutable Arch-based distro and you have full readwrite to your home directory and all config, settings, and files within persist.

Even the stuff in the "immutable" section isn't necessarily wiped, it's more that there is a strong chance changes may be overwritten. I'd definitely make no guarantees to anything stored on the immutable sections of SteamOS.
