Any particular reason you would want SteamOS on a desktop over any other distro? It's pretty much designed for console use, I would not recommend it elsewhere.
Valve gaming polish, I primarily use my home PC for gaming and I feel like a distro Valve makes would be best suited and supported for that.
Steam Deck works just fine in desktop mode with mouse and keyboard.
Bazzite is basically exactly this already. If you have an AMD gpu you can boot straight into steam. The desktop mode uses KDE like the Steam Deck and the package manager makes it much easier to layer in additional system packages which is kind of a pain on the Deck. Plus there are some additional gaming specific tweaks popularized by tools like cryoutility included by default.
Didn't know about this. Saving for later
