Please don't say Bazzite as I wasn't able to get SteamVR working on it. I'm looking for alternatives. The current plan is to try plain old Ubuntu instead.

Too bad about bazzite. Maybe chimera? I think it's Debian based so it might be slightly better. I've always liked pop, but I use it desktop, and it's just a fork of ubuntu

Pop!_OS is great if you want Ubuntu without snap. I also like that you can choose an iso with Nvidia proprietary drivers included. It's been a very stable work+gaming distro. I've not tried big picture mode or VR though.
