Noooooob here: As title said - I don’t know what distro I should choose. My needs are student stuff like Libreoffice & Videoconferences but also creative things, photo-management and cutting videos. Does it matter at all? Do I have to check for every single program I use or is there a distro that is recommended?
I was planning on getting a Tuxedo with Tuxedo OS, but my neighbour recommended another “no os”-seller and now I’m not sure. I was opting for Tuxedo mainly because of the support since I’m leaving windows after many years^^

SteamOS versions 3.x are immutable and based on Arch. Here’s a lot of info about SteamOS: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/SteamOS
The only thing I did tweak was enabling encryption (https://gitlab.steamos.cloud/holo/dirlock/-/wikis/Enabling-disk-encryption-on-the-Steam-Deck), because I use the desktop mode heavily and didn’t want my personal data unprotected in case of loss or theft.
