Is Steam OS a full featured OS? I didn't think you could do much outside of running Steam and its games.
I can't really say. It has a desktop component but it's not the main focus. I've seen setups of people who only use the Deck as their PC, but they mostly don't do much aside from browsing the internet in desktop mode (Firefox is preinstalled). It's pretty nice that you can plug it into a USB-C Dock and have it connect to screens, keyboard and mouse.
I'm no expert on customizing linux, but you probably can get some usual features to work on SteamOS.
it is, but it's definitely geared towards steam deck. fantastic handled btw
