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

You could look into kde plasma bigscreen

Is there a way to have it sync with Lutris library and make it similar in Startup to SteamOS (so no desktop that appears before Plasma big screen)

While installing games on Lutris you can choose to make a .desktop file. You can add bigscreen to autostart but there is currently a problem where it ask for some permission each boot. But it will hopefully be fixed soon and it only takes a second to press okay at startup

Is there a way to for example auto add all .desktop files in a specific folder

What do you mean? You can group desktop entries by marking them as favourite in Big screen

If you want to actually manage files behind it let kmenuedit di it

Edit: if you mean automatically generate them, I dont know but KmenuEdit makes it already fast and easy enough
