Is steamOS usable on laptops/desktop computers?
No. Or rather, not yet. Valve has not released SteamOS 3 for anything other than the Steam Deck, but is planning to do so at some point in the future.
I honestly wouldn't recommend SteamOS for anything other than a dedicated gaming device though. It excels at its use case of launching games via Steam, but for everything else it is quite cumbersome... I would much rather install a general purpose Linux distribution and run Steam on it.
No, right now it only works on the steam deck. Support for more handhelds is coming though, and eventually laptops.
Right now you can install Bazzite to a laptop, it's very similar to steamOS and will work on most everything.
+2 for bazzite. Been running it exclusively on my desktop and laptop since June. Have no complaints
