Bazzite is Fedora-based. SteamOS is Arch based because (if I'm not mistaken) they usually have the latest drivers and will support the largest array of hardware.
For that reason I use and recommend ChimeraOS (on alternative hardware).
Not using chimera for no other reason than personally speaking I don't like gnome, if there was a KDE spin then maybe, it otherwise looks good, but I'm not interested
I use Fedora on my main machine currently though, and know it will be compatible with the hardware I'm getting
Gnome is just an interface. You can install and use anything else you want.
Fedora also used Gnome?
I use the kde spin, and while yes I know I could change the DE, I'd prefer something like nobara or bazzite that have it out of the box, especially sense I'm planning on getting my partner to install it (to show it's easier than they think)
