What distro to choose in parallel to steamos

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Thank you for the suggestions, I'll besure to look into it. I think I had an intuition but completely underestimated the importance of the community around a specific distro. When you're not actively using Linux, it's hard to grasp what criteria should be favored and what significance they will have, not just for anybody but for me.
So I should try it, and I must say the more I hear about fedora the more interested I am.
