Can you install Steam Deck OS on PC?
Not really worth it, IMO. SteamOS is optimized for the Deck, not your average PC. You're better off just using regular Linux if you want that experience.

I actually tried this! Got SteamOS running on an old laptop. It's neat but kinda overkill unless you're really into tinkering. Games run, but you'll miss the seamless experience of the Deck.
Yes, you can technically install Steam Deck's OS, SteamOS 3, on a PC. It's based on Linux, and enthusiasts have found ways to get it running. Just remember, it's designed for the Steam Deck's hardware, so your mileage may vary on a standard PC setup.
