From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

HoloISO is SteamOS for non Steam Decks. That would be great option for something that "just works" and is designed for use from the couch with a controller. I haven't tried this but I'm sure there's a way to install Kodi for media too.
Don't know why I see so many people recommending HoloISO. It hasn't been updated in 3 months, and all they did was merge a bunch of code from Chimera.
ChimeraOS and Bazzite are what you're looking for.
Thanks for educating me, what's the difference between the three?
I don't really know, other than the other 2 are updated on a nearly daily basis and Chimera is Arch-based (like SteamOS) with Gnome UI while Bazzite is Fedora-based.
