Valve will stop it
However, nobody will prevent a jailbreaking tool from some custom repo
Since it's linux, I assume there's gonna be no jail. The website is showing a fully usable desktop environment

From what I heard Valve has absolutely no intention of stopping people from installing another OS on that thing. So no, from the info I've seen so far, there isn't any jail to jailbreak. And the person I know this from has been talking about Valve working on a portable Switch-like console, that will use Proton, for a while now.

Including this along with which compatibility thing is used (which even includes customs ones, like Glorious Eggroll) and they'll have removed 75% of the problems

I swear I remember hearing about something including protondb info so people can be better informed when deciding on a game... can't remember if it was about Steam or not.
So far I understand Valve is promising that ALL the games in their catalog are supported at launch. So I can only assume that they've done some testing with the GabeGear and tweaked things so that things go more smoothly on their SteamOS than the random distros people use.
I know a few games I have doesn't work properly
Hinamari - The Sunflower - JUST started working properly recently (and on Eggroll's branch)
And Chip's Challenge 2 is actually starting to run, but still crashes before you can play

Yeah, it's definitely an overpromise, but I guess they're pretty confident in the progress they've made.
But at least, are they working on some stuff to make proton more friendly?
Like I said earlier, a built in protondb and an argument picker on top of being able to try other people's arguments from within steam would make it infinitely more usable IMO
