Switched, no. Tried, yes.
With how much work Valve has done on SteamOS compatibility and polish the one or two games I might play that aren’t compatible are not a big loss compared to the overhead of maintaining Windows.
Same experience here. I tried putting Windows on it just so that I could access my gamepass library, but there's just too many nice quality of life features on SteamOS for me to commit to windows fully. I could see me putting it back on once they get dual booting working better. I've got a 1TB internal with like 600GB free so plenty of space for a side by side install
