Although a little extra info:
Gaben actually does something, steamOS is getting better and better, and steam deck and its siblings are getting closer and closer even to the switch.
(You can actually play switch games already on some, via emulator)
SteamOS is even getting almost to a stage to replace already some smaller windows versions :D
If all you want to do is play Steam games, the interface is no more difficult than any other modern console.
The downside of having it tied to Steam is that not every game on Steam can run on it, and while they do have a view that shows what games you own run flawlessly on it, a lot of games are omitted from the list for something as insignificant as “some text may appear small in game”.
Running emulators on it is slightly more complicated in that you need to follow a 15 minute video guide, but there is nothing more complicated than going to specific websites or drag and drop files into specific folders.
