Before I bought a Steam Deck I had never used Linux but now I really like it, honestly I’m tempted to install SteamOS on my PC as it’s only ever used for gaming anyway
Same, before steam deck I remembered my literal 15 year old terrible ubuntu experience.
Nowardays I can say for from my experience as an ex MF mentioned in OP, is that those MFs think is a linux experience, is just projecting current state of windows.

Then Bazzite might be interesting for you too as SteamOS is from what i got more specialised for handheld
Go for Bazzite. It’s basically Steam OS but with extra stuff that makes it “just work”, even on an Nvidia GPU.
Once Valve releases their official Steam OS, you can always switch to it.
I use Pop!_Os currently. Also has an “nvidia distro” and have a comparable experience of it mostly “just working”.
