As of last week, you can. But Valve isn't officially recommending it as a general purpose OS yet.

There are some Linux distros that are very similar to steamOS that are very popular right now. I personally ditched Windows for Bazzite early this year and haven't had any regrets about it. I've been using both windows and Linux for decades and this was the first distro that made me confident enough to ditch Windows completely.

I got a few bugs here and there but only one annoying issue that I had to fix (PC wouldn't wake up from sleep properly). I'm fine with using the terminal on my day to day so I can't say for sure but I think I only ever needed to use it once, to fix that specific issue.

All games I've tried worked perfectly well, though one of them (InZoi) required installing an external tool (proton-GE). Some older stuff like World of Warcraft were easier to install on it than on windows (and wow doesn't even support it officially).

Unlike other popular distros like Mint, Bazzite works in a way that prevents programs from messing with each other or with the system itself, so you're much more unlikely to ever break it. And if you do break it, there's a quick option to go back to the last working version. The downside is that if you manage to break it even beyond that, then fixing the issue will probably be harder than it would be to fix a similar problem on Mint.
