Advice Needed: Replacing Windows (or dual boot) with Linux Steam Deck Edition

I'm a self admitted Linux Noob! The extent of my experience with Linux is a Fedora dual boot SEVERAL years ago, Steam Deck to dual boot Windows 10 or Steam OS (with rEFInd), and a Chimera OS install on my severely old GPD Win 2 (not Win Max, I'm talking about GPD's 2nd device).

I've decided to either replace Windows 11 on my Legion Go with a Steam Deck edition of Bazzite, Chimera, Nobara, or Arch with the necessary additions or dual boot Windows with one of the Steam Deck editions I mentioned.

Please, oh fellow gurus, wizards, and senseis, help me decide which Linux Steam Deck install would have or has the best user experience for a Linux Noob like me. Would you please take the time to answer the poll and provide a comment?
