Don't do SteamOS for a computer you're planning to use for normal shit, it can do it but it's designed for the deck and console configurations. Any 'normal' distro has access to steam and the Proton compatibility layer that can make your games work.
for picking a distro you should think of a few tasks you regularly do and need to do on your computer and search the distro e.g. "Mint" "task not working", or "how to". the distro with understandable and active advice for your usecases is the best one.
