Exactly. Pick a solid distro, install graphics drivers if you have an nvidia card, then install Steam, and you have a solid gaming distro. SteamOS makes sense for a console-like experience, but a distro doesn't.

If you want a "gaming distro," look up Bazzite or Nobara, they basically do that. But it's really not necessary, any solid distro is equally capable of being a gaming distro.
