For me it must be kde plasma 6 and the wayland driver for wine.
Edit: I made the question gendered by using the word guys. I’ve fixed my mistake.

Bazzite looks interesting, I might check it out. But I would still rather use SteamOS when it comes out. I like stable more, than up to date. And bazzite has so much stuffed into it and I wouldn’t use 90% of those features.
As a gamer, you should like up-to-date more, becuse that generally translates to better performance and better compatibility with games. Things like FUTEX2, IO_URING FUTEX support, HDR, Wayland stuff and so many things are a work-in-progress, that you’d want to be on the latest and greatest otherwise you’d be missing out.
Also, stability isn’t really an issue with Bazzite since it’s an immutable OS - your updates happen in the cloud for starters, so you won’t get any “bad” updates. But on the ocassion that you do, you can in fact easily rollback to the previous image from GRUB. You can also pin a known “good” image so that it’s always available.
I know where you are coming from but I don’t think it’s that important especially not for me, Iam gaming right now on Linux Mint without a problem. And wasn’t steamdeck/steamos the first one who supported HDR?
Since features aren’t important to you, and since you like stability more, then technically you should like Bazzite more, because it’s more stable than Mint (at least on paper), being an immutable OS with atomic updates and built-in rollbacks
SteamOS indeed supports HDR but that’s only in game mode (ie under a gamescope session), but not in deskrop mode (Wayland). HDR support is coming to KDE Wayland with Plasma 6 early next year, but if you’re still on Mint, you’d have to wait a lot longer to get Plasma 6.
I mean, I will try it. First in a virtual machine and if I like it well enough on a laptop too. But I don’t know, I used Fedora Silverblue and Kinoite before and my experience wasn’t satisfactory.
