Much easier to bring it to a handful of carefully chosen devices with standardized hardware first. Also there are great distros for desktops that essentially do the same already, like Bazzite, ChimeraOS and Nobara
Do you have any experience with these? I'm not out here looking to be a master penguin, I just desperately want to play to games, maybe with some mods, without having to dedicate 3 hours to tech support every single time I launch
I've been testing Bazzite out on a variety of hardware. It's very easy to setup and required no additional fiddling at all to get working, even with an Nvidia card which is the usual source of Linux gaming frustrations.
If you're used to the limitations of the Steam Deck OS and haven't had any issues there then you should have a good experience with Bazzite which is presented in a very similar way even if it's a little different under the hood.
I've used ChimeraOS a while back. From what I heard Bazzite should be on a similar level to SteamOS, so if you're okay with the limitations of a Steam Deck and just want that on your PC then you might want to try Bazzite. That being said that's an OS for a PC that will be a console, just like SteamOS, it's not a general purpose Linux and you might get issues trying to do day-to-day stuff on it.
Also I don't know how you install mods, if it's via steam workshop they should work flawlessly, if you need something else you might have to jump through some hoops to get it, but again it's the same hoops you would need on SteamOS.
