Bazzite might be your jam. They're a sort-of competitor (?) to SteamOS, as in they have distros for handhelds in the same way Valve has with SteamOS (which they are now leasing out to manufacturers like lenovo). But they also have versions for laptops and desktop PCs.
I've been using their PC (nvidia) version for a week now, and it's been wonderful. Of course I probably wouldn't have made the switch if Valve hadn't helped pave the way and made proton so powerful. Also I probably wouldn't have switched if I hadn't given up on LoL and Battlefield (kernel-level anticheat).
I don't think I've even heard of that, so I'll look into it a bit more. I was leaning more toward an AMD build since that tends to play nicely with Linux compared to Intel/Nvidia. And there were a couple of distros I was interested in trying on my old laptop to compare before committing.
