18 months ago I tried to roll my own SteamBox. Games launched from Steam worked great. Everything launched from other launchers was mixed, but wouldn't launch from Steam...generally speaking. I switched back to Windows and removed the login because I wanted a console-like experience.
I've been on Pop for most of the time I've been gaming on Linux. Though I am currently switching to Arch for reasons, Pop has been great. Very easy, very stable across the board.
Tried it. It's been at least a year and a half, but if memory serves, I think I always had to login for startup. I wanted to be able to just turn on and have steam roll into it's startup screen like a console.
Tried 4 or 5 distros and each had an issue that kept me from that console like experience. Ironically, I was able to do that with w11.

I wish Valve would launch an updated SteamOS.
Try pop os. It's been flawless for me. Lutris has gotten all the non steam stuff to work for me.

You can make it login without and start steam right up. It's easy.
