Things which are holding this back

Collaboration with OEMs to provide SteamOS OTTB (Lenovo is an exception)
Nvidia support. Most gamers use Nvidia GPU unfortunately
Certain industry-standard software which don't have a Linux port. PSA: Most people don't want to learn alt software. Johnny Mainstream is scared of new softwares. This cannot be changed
End-users suffer from choice paralysis and Linux offers endless choice. Maybe SteamOS can help.

What we know so far, SteamOS won't be a general purpose OS, so it might not support every random piece of h/w.

We might not have the year of the Linux Desktop, but we can expect 2025-2026 to be the year of the Linux handheld.

SRC: Linux fanboy for the last decade

Nvidia works flawlessly in my system, didn't have to tweak anything.
