 Turning it off restores your previous look and panel layout, and removes `cachyos-vapor` again

+## What Steam's System settings show
+
+With the SteamOS conversion on, `/etc/os-release` gets:
+
+| Key | Value | Shown in Steam as |
+|---|---|---|
+| `VERSION_ID` | `steamos-3.9`: the newest SteamOS release in Valve's repo (offline: the previous value) | OS Version |
+| `VERSION_CODENAME` | `steam-machine` | OS Codename |
+| `VARIANT` / `VARIANT_ID` | `Steamify 2.9.0` / `steamify-2.9.0` | OS Variant (`VARIANT_ID`) |
+
+The OS name stays CachyOS everywhere: Steam's OS Name comes from
+`lsb_release -d`, which isn't touched, and `NAME`/`PRETTY_NAME` stay
+CachyOS's. limine-snapper-sync finds the boot entries by that name, so
+changing it would break snapshot boot entries; `/etc/default/limine` gets
+`TARGET_OS_NAME="CachyOS"` as a guard when it has none.
+
+KDE's About this System would show `VERSION_ID` after the name
+("CachyOS Linux steamos-3.9"); `UseOSReleaseVersion=true` in
+`~/.config/kcm-about-distrorc` makes it show `VERSION`, which CachyOS doesn't
+have, so it keeps saying "CachyOS Linux".
+
+CachyOS's own hooks (`cachyos-hooks`) reset os-release on updates of
+`filesystem`; the pacman hook `zz-steamify-os-release` runs after them and
+sets the keys again (`/usr/local/libexec/steamify-os-release`). The values are
+refreshed after every Steamify run that changes something. Turning the
+conversion off removes the hook and runs CachyOS's `cachyos-branding` again.
