Such good news. I hope someone can answer this either theoretically or practically as I’m not as knowledgeable in this.

One of the things I love about the steam deck is the ability to just turn it off and back on a few days later and the game is exactly where I left off. If steamOS is on a PC or another handheld deck. Would it still be possible to still have this feature? I guess my question is whether this is a software or hardware feature.

I'd imagine this is something the HW has to support, and the software has to implement a solution via that HW support. I'm really excited to see SteamOS coming up as the next mobile linux platform. With the support from Valve, I'd consider a steam deck or similar over other tablet options.
