Spending over an hour of research trying to figure out which distribution of Linux I should pick. I primarily do a lot of gaming on my PC with some writing. I also have a storage drive attached to my PC that I have a bunch of movie stored on to. I'm not entirely motivated to try out each distribution to see which I like, so I would want to see what people think about which version is best.

I'm pretty sure SteamOS is just an outdated Debian distro.

It is a debian derived set of software in part, but it has a bunch of other drivers and such that are entirely Valve's stuff. It is not outdated, they make updates to it plenty. The priority of it all is to run on recent hardware and to play games, it is what they have on their steam deck and steam machines.

SteamOS2 was dropped, SteamOS3, which is used for Steam Deck, is based on manjaro linux, which is an arch variant.
