Nope, Bazzite is really solid. Also since Steam sells a console with SteamOS they are likely mandated to add in age attestation and whatever else gets ruled necessary.

He also stated a distro good for software development hence why I mentioned Aurora. Both would work

Fedora flavors are a good mix of quicker updates and also very stable. KDE Plasma is a very well thought out desktop environment and familiar to Windows users. I’ve been using Mint and it feels dated. Also I recommend not using anything from Ubuntu as they keep enshittifing.

Fedora Aurora might suit you. It’s immutable but you can still install Mullvad via ostree or a community Flatpak.
