Ok, semi serious(ish) question from Bowie's photographer.

Before I get started: Please don't put too much thought into the response, just weighing my options (I'm probably going to just succumb to the dark side and go with Windows because it's the least friction [but heck it feels slimey lately]).

Currently running Windows 10 for Steam + Game Pass + Photoshop/Lightroom

My install is starting to feel flakey and I either need to do a clean install of Windows 11 or find an alternative (Linux + with whatever game magic is running on the Steamdeck).

I could technically do the Photoshop stuff on my Intel Macbook, but that means getting a KVM switch that lets me switch between 3 machines.

So, what's the most reliable brain-dead Linux distro that's game friendly?

I would imagine whatever the Steam Deck uses. You can install it on a desktop, and is literally intended for gaming. IDK if they are still referring to it as SteamOS or if it's entirely different from that old shit.

Steam Deck is modified Arch with KDE desktop so probably not beginner friendly.
