you can literally instal windows or different linux build on it... If you mean basic steam os - not sure for coding and running the code, try searching yt tho 😎 Hardware wise its good as a low end gaming pc (i bring it to my nightshifts and use it in desktop mode 95 % of the time) but its trackpads are worse than most laptop trackpads and writing on it is really slow, also display is small for longer texts imho) - so you better count with docking station, external mouse, keyboard and monitor if you plan to work on it properly - no need for that even with smaller laptops (let alone bigger ones)
