Your one of two person to said this, and it looks to be open source so might go with this

Give it a go, it's really handy for setting up new machines! I'm on Linux mint permanently now but I still use that for servers

All I do is play games and browse the web for the most part. Am I going to suffer compatibility issues if I switch to Linux? Also is Steam OS a solid choice for a Linux gaming distro?

Linux Mint has been great, you do run into some issues with games that have intense Anticheat, but for the most part the user experience is flawless. I don't know about steam OS, but with mint (and I think also for Ubuntu and pop OS) you just install steam, install the game from your library, and off you go it's just like Windows
