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.

    SteamOS is currently only supported on Steam deck and while there are efforts to make it work on desktop I would advise against using them because of reliability concerns. However if you want a SteamOS like experience made for desktop I recommend Bazzite. You should be fine with it, but if you want the easiest experience possible then I would highly recommend Linux Mint. I would just put them on USB drive and try them both, check if your 3D printer is working and then install the one you prefer
