@infoseclogger - Folks have given some really good ideas already (I myself have used Bazzite as well and like it for gaming specific builds).One thing I can add is this resource: https://www.protondb.com/Highlevel overview for discussion: Proton is the "compatability layer" that Valve/Steam puts out to allow for playing Windows games on Linux.ProtonDB specifically goes into detail on individual games and what Linux distros they work on and with what tweaks (if any) are needed.I found it really helpful to see who was using what distro for gaming and how well they liked, for example.(Edit to include: I've considered SteamOS proper but have not attempted a build of it: https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/65B4-2AA3-5F37-4227 )
