Use SteamOS. Your use case requires it.
Does steam os have a regular desktop mode? I saw ETA prime install steamos on a mini gaming pc yesterday, but never mentioned using it with a mouse and keyboard.
Do not get steamos lol.
Any regular desktop distribution is fine (fedora, mint...), if you have new hardware you'll want a recent kernel. Nvidia gpus can be problematic. You can always try the distro before installing.
