There are distributions with a great Steam experience out of the box? It's SteamOS actually a good choice? Maybe isn't what you use or prefer.

A good Steam distro for me has a very mininal procedure for perfectly working controllers, client and general user experience.

Your direct test and experience are very appreciated.

    I havent used any myself but from what im aware of,

    ChimeraOS and HoloISO would be the cloest to a console like experience

    Nobara and Garuda is a step away from that and focuses more on being a gaming pc rather than a full console experience.

    Copying from the old thread:

    Nobara Linux. The official website is WIP but it’s essentially a distro aimed for gaming, with the important things like Steam and Lutris pre-installed.

    I'm currently using it and it's pretty good and reliable. It defaults to wayland though, you may want to go back to Xorg if you're using an Nvidia gpu.

      I tried Nobara and really liked it. Some games didn't like my the hybrid graphics on my laptop tho and I ended up swapping to Pop. But I actually like Nobara better than Pop and would be using it if I could.
