So basically it sounds like it's good for a couch experience, but for a desktop experience, it's better to install a regular Linux distribution instead. Of course right now Windows still has a lot more games, so the chances are that for gamers, Windows is still the best choice, but Linux (SteamOS or something else) isn't that bad either.

SteamOS and the Linux version of Steam had a pretty big effect on the number of games coming out on Linux, I'd say. There's still a long way to go, but now it's not just some indie titles and some individual bigger titles that support Linux.
