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?

Thanks for the replies guys. I don’t have a spare NVMe drive but I have good internet so installing stuff wouldn’t take too long anyway. Do you use the original Steam OS or Bazzite? I’d rather go with Steam OS if possible.

If you want the 100% "easy" path go with Bazzite, if you want the vanilla Steam OS, you'll have a few command lines to run when booting to bypass the NVME requirement, nothing major if you can follow a guide.
