From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

My suggestion would be KDE Neon or Fedora KDE, since both are straightforward and have official Plasma Bigscreen packages
I don't think atomic distros like Bazzite are a good fit for something like this since Plasma Bigscreen does not appear to have an official flatpak. It can be done but there are some drawbacks.
If you go with one of my suggestions, you will want to install multimedia codecs that do not come with the OS by default.
Here is a guide that will work on KDE Neon.
This guide is for Fedora.
