(not for windows, OS) Maybe have a look at Bazzite? It's supposed to be a SteamOS but Fedora based. I've been meaning to have a look at it eventually, so i dont know how it actually is, maybe it's garbage for all i know
There is ChimeraOS too, based on Arch.
The problem with Linux is that you will always have to tolerate a nontrivial section of games being straight-up unavailable, of games breaking, running suboptimally and requiring hacky solutions to run, and the complete absence of first-party support from hardware manufacturers and game developers. It's not suitable for HTPCs despite having terrific UI unfortunately.
I'm hoping it gets to the point where lutris/proton/other compatibility layers are automatically sorted out by the OS and whatever you install would use what it needs. Maybe a fool's dream ¯\(ツ)/¯
