I like console gaming because it just works. I sit down on my couch, I turn on my controller, and I’m back in my game in under 10 seconds. The series S has honestly been a fantastic purchase for me despite the many drawbacks.
PC gaming is very enticing but we all know that’s simply not how it goes down. I would love to build a PC that is literally just discord and Steam. I want to run it in big picture mode for the most part and treat it more or less like a console.
I have really enjoyed my steam deck and it has fit that desired role pretty well. But obviously it is just not that powerful. It’s impressive for what it is, but for me it’s basically a great indie game machine with the occasional AAA option that is tolerable. A well-built machine with that kind of UX (minus the known idiosyncrasies of the deck) would be fantastic.
To answer your question more directly:
Most Linux distros do not offer this either. Bazzite is the closest I’ve seen.
