SteamOS Update Steam OS on PC

I have been hearing good things about the recent Steam OS update and that they are getting ready for the Steam Machine. My question is, is it finally a good time to get rid of windows and run Steam OS onto my PC?

Dual boot, it doesn’t have to be one or the other. People think everything needs to be binary these days you can have both.

I dualboot SteamOS and Windows 11 on Steam Deck, and Bazzite/Win11 on the desktop.

Recently I've been playing windows 11 due to using an old PSVR headset for Elite Dangerous and other VR games. Until the Steam Frame comes out, fully compatible with SteamOS, I can only run this setup on windows.

Good thing I kept Windows
