Not saying that that's a bad idea, but you could also just install Linux. Bazzite is similar to Steam OS and was a breeze to install. Pop is might be easier to get into if you also use your computer for other stuff than gaming, and was also easy to install.

You can absolutely install apps in Bazzite. In some cases it's a bit finicky, which is why Pop OS is easier IMO. Pop OS imo feels like being on an older Windows version, I forgot that I was even on Linux.
You can use Bazzite for just about anything. I use Bazzite for everything I normally use my computer for, the difference is mainly that I have all my development tools in Distroboxes, and I've grown to prefer it. But I admit that it was annoying to set up.
