Why SteamOS specifically? It's not a particularly good Linux distro, unless you're using a Steam Deck or a Steam Machine.
And even then, better options exist if you feel like switching the device's OS. Personally I keep SteamOS on my Deck, because I don't want to reinstall all the games. Otherwise I'd move to Bazzite.
There are plenty of Linux distros with either Nvidia drivers pre-installed or with toddler level installation of them. If your only issue is nvidia drivers, then it makes no sense to wait for SteamOS. Try Pop!_OS, Manjaro, Ubuntu, Mint, or Fedora. Any of these will do a better job than SteamOS (ok, maybe not ubuntu), and they're available right now.
