I want to get some experience with Linux before win 10 goes end of support. I won't be using this machine for work. Gaming primarily but also 3d printing and possibly some light piracy. Is there any reason not to install steam os?

Thanks in advance kind and wise nerds in my phone.

"... while there are efforts to make it work on desktop I would advise against using them..." many people including me use Proton on desktop and everything just works smoothly & flawlessly, Proton in reality came out on desktop before on handheld console, I mean Proton was able to be used on PC long before the SteamDeck was a thing, problems are mostly user-end outage

I was talking about projects like HoloISO which bring SteamOS to desktop, never said anything about proton
