The Steam Deck is a handheld gaming computer developed by Valve and released on February 25, 2022. The device uses Valve's Linux distribution SteamOS, which incorporates the namesake Steam storefront. SteamOS uses Valve's Proton compatibility layer, allowing users to run Windows applications and games.

This doesn't sound like a valid option for desktop PC users. Do other linux OSs have something similar?

You can install proton on any linux distro. I game AAA on my arch distribution. Look into Heroic Launcher.
