I believe SteamOS is designed only for the steam deck, I wouldn't recommend it as a general purpose OS for a desktop or laptop.
I would recommend Bazzite, it's like a general version of SteamOS. It comes with a version that boots directly into steam's big picture mode (like SteamOS) or one that boots into the desktop (I run this on my desktop)
It also has improvments like nvidia drivers, printer drivers, package layering and because it's built on top Fedora Atomic you can rollback the system to a stable snapshot if an update doesn't work with your system.
I've been running on my desktop since September (I was in the same boat as you) and it's been really good. A lot of the stuff I would've had to configure and mess around with is already setup for gaming
