SteamOS is already an extant distro (based on Arch btw), it's what they use for the steam deck/machine/frame. It's also available to download but there is no official support. I've been meaning to try it on my desktop, as I primarily use it for gaming anyways
SteamOS wikipedia page since the steam page keeps redirecting me to the app
