Not worth it, just stick with SteamOS. It's designed for the Steam Deck and optimized for gaming. Installing Windows could slow down your device and make it less efficient for what it's best at: gaming.
As someone who installed Windows on their Steam Deck, I can say it's worth it for the flexibility alone. Being able to play games that aren't available on SteamOS, along with the ability to use it as a portable PC for work and play, has been a game changer for me.
I'd say it depends on what you're after. If you're all about gaming and the titles you want are on SteamOS, then stick with it. Windows might give you more options, but it can be a hassle to switch between operating systems if you're not tech-savvy.
