I've used it as my daily driver for the last 7 years. I don't really play games that much but you can install Steam, and at that point the distro doesn't matter as much. (Though for a bunch of reasons I think NixOS would be the ideal distro to base SteamOS off of, and Valve & co. are only now closing the gap years later with some still-beta flatpak-esque stuff.) I would say, if you can get excited with messing around with Nix instead of playing video games, you're going to have a better time. Not because you need to (though you might if this is your first time doing Linux), but because the joy lies in being able to understand "what the fuck is actually going on!" for the first time, and getting to that level of understanding will take some time.
