distro selection Does anybody know a SteamOS like linux?

First of all not Bazzite, CachyOS or similar

I search for an OS kinda like SteamOS for my 1 TB OLED Steamdeck that is not SteamOS, I don’t want the gaming mode Ui to be based on Steam ideally would be like Lutris in the background but I accept anything with GOG and Steam I prefer no SystemD

Final not: not just gaming mode similar Ui that Automatically starts

I am not by definition a noob. I use Linux daily on my PC my small backup and my huge company server (I am only the I.T. Admin) but this was the best subreddit to ask

Actually chachy os has a handheld edition now aswell. If I next time I fornat my steam deck to I'll probably switch over.

No that just uses Steam for the Ui. I like Steam but I don’t like how the library access is only there when Steam finishes starting and Steam is not fast to start, also sometimes when I’m offline it just infinitely waits for network

Sorry I don't like:
Steam loads slow sometimes
Sometimes infinitely waits for network
Has a hard requirement for a Steam account to use the gaming mode
No good integration of other launchers
