Good question! After installing Emulators on my Steamdeck I realized it could run as a desktop. Also, I learned it was a rolling release. This seemed attractive to me, so I wanted to hear how mainstream this could be.
Sounds like the answer is not very. Some other good suggestions in this thread I might try, though.
I think the reason why is its a powerful computer and if they dont already have a good computer, why not make this their main PC? It would be cheaper to buy a dock, monitor, keyboard and mouse (under $200), than buy another device with the same specs.
But why though? If it’s because you want to use a steam deck fair enough, otherwise there isn’t really any reason to over better desktop OSes
If the reason is for better gaming support bazzite might be the way to go, though honestly any distro can do gaming just fine

The answer is you probably could in the same way that you could probably use a wrench to hammer in a nail

This is why I said fair enough to if it’s on an existing steam deck, I’m absolutely for that as it was designed specifically for that hardware
I do think it’s a bit dumb to put steamos on something other than a steam deck though
