The new version on the Steam Deck isn’t available - the old version of course is, but you might as well use Bazzite.
I dont think Valve would bother trying to convert people to Linux - regardless of where people’s OSes are, they are the gaming store. Plus, Valve really doesn’t think developers should develop Linux native ports, so I dont think they’re really push people to use Linux - just use whatever you want and play shit with Proton if needed.

SteamOS has been available for years but no general purpose desktop release as of yet. Or anytime in the near future.

That’s a different iteration of SteamOS than the current Arch-based immutable image the Deck uses.

Yes there’s a new iteration every few weeks

Right, but it’s a different distro than the one being referred to here.
That one is based on Debian and has existed since 2013. The version on Steam Deck is Arch-based immutable and has not been publicly released yet.
