Over the decades, I’ve tried Ubuntu, mint, arch, fedora in that order. I would rate my experiences arch > fedora > mint > Ubuntu.
Endeavor os would be my first recommendation, Cachyos then fedora. If you want that classic windows 7 experience and very solid support, I recommend mint. If you need the latest drivers endeavor.


They should have different tiers for the 30% cut, but they offer developers much more than any other platform. It’s all bundled in their universal 30% cut.
Regarding your second point, they can have lower prices on other platforms. They just can’t sell steam keys for less on other platforms.
For example, I can sell a game for $30 on steam, a steam key for $30 on another platform, or the same game for $10 but with no steam key on another platform.
