5 years ago Valve released Proton forever changing Linux gaming
I run winesapOS[0] which is based on SteamOS and was able to repurpose an old Toshiba notebook for my kids, running Freddy Fish* and other games. Windows 10 doesn't run smoothly (even though it came with Windows 10) and I'm not going to run anything older than that.
* Yes, ScummVM is available for Linux but the Steam Linux distribution included an old ScummVM which wasn't able to load some libraries. Running the Windows version through an compatibility layer was easier than modifying shell files to run the latest ScummVM through flatpak.

SteamOS 3 for PC?
HoloISO and ChimeraOS no longer support Nvidia so you'll need to use winesapOS.
- Linux hits a multi-year high for user share on Steam thanks to Steam Deck

Extracting visual C++ redistributables
If the BIOS isn't locked try booting winesapOS off a flash drive.

WinesapOS
Context: winesap seems to be a spin of SteamOS3 with KDE, somehow optimised for gaming. It's meant to be used as a live distro?
-
Is there a way to run the SteamOS from the Steam Deck on an Alienware Alpha/Steam Machine?
My understanding is that Valve intends to release SteamOS 3 for install on other machines at some point, and it will likely include support when that happens. In the meantime, there a modified version of it available on GitHub here which claims to support NVIDIA GPUs, but I have not tried it.

GPU Options?
Currently I am planning on running a VM with winsapeos

Would You recommend the Steam Deck as a daily driver?
https://github.com/LukeShortCloud/winesapOS - it is a simple image, ready made, with a lot of software installed. There is almost no configuration needed. However, this means that the image will contain a lot of software that you don't need. From a gaming perspective, you could even game on this and it's already set up - but as it is running from a SD card, I prefer to just reboot into the standard OS.

Every time system update, my neuron activates
If you want something similar to HoloISO, but it has everything you need out of the box, there is WinesapOS. It is also based on the Steam recovery image, but with a bunch of apps and changes for desktop gamers. For an advanced user it would be too bloated, but for a beginner it means you will not need to install or setup apps for any of your game launchers, antivirus software, Chrome, Wine, etc. It also features Intel Mac support, which is pretty cool.

Microsoft Edge ignores user wishes, slurps tabs from Chrome without permission
I only really play single player, but I have run into this too. This is a great resource to keep track of progress - https://areweanticheatyet.com/

Bazzite – a Steam0S-like OCI image for desktop, living room, and handheld PCs
It varies by game. https://areweanticheatyet.com/ is an interesting resource for that because they also track announcements by developers about whether or not linux support is eventually planned.

How good is the experience of playing games with Wine or Proton compatibility layers?
AFAIK the games that don't work are more modern, competetive games that use Anticheat. https://areweanticheatyet.com/ is a good resource to see the status of your game.

It is game by game basis. Use this guide to see if the game you play is supported or not.
- So you're removing the possible access to play my old games I bought?
-
Making the switch - what are the gaps?
The only caveat to that is online games with anti-cheat. EAC and BattlEye both support Linux but requires studios to tick a box, many of which refuse. Any kernel-layer AC that doesn't have a userspace component will not run on Linux. Can see a list of games and their AC support here.

Wine 9.0 RC1 – Run Windows Applications on Linux, BSD, Solaris and macOS
> except Multiplayer online games
That's no longer the case. I'd say about now, there are more multiplayer games that you can play, as opposed to ones you can't play.
See: https://areweanticheatyet.com/ as reference, but it's not very up-to-date, so https://www.protondb.com/ would probably be a better reference.

Thinking about switching, what am I giving up?

Are there any major sacrifices you make to play on Linux over Windows?
Nope, just works. There are some games that use invasive kernel-level anticheat that wont work as Linux sensibly blocks anything that shouldn't be messing with the kernel, but I'm not personally interested in those games anyway. EAC and Battleye both support Linux, but requires devs to tick a box, which there's several that can't be bothered.
