There's no way to be 100% sure as no one has this, but it's likely to be just a Linux box, like the Steam Deck. Valve doesn't need any more telemetry than what they already get from the Steam client, and they have consistently delivered hardware that you own and can modify the software at will, so I would expect this to be the same.
And, to be clear, Valve does get a lot of telemetry out of Steam. It is likely nowhere near as bad as macOS/Windows itself, but it's not like it's automatically going to be entirely private/secure just because it's Linux.
Absolutely, my point is that it's likely no more telemetry than a custom Linux box with Steam would gather.
