Steam Deck is all three of your criteria. Get a Steam Deck.

Then you can use Ubuntu for your laptop or whatever.

Have one and love it, at the risk of sounding like corpo-ganda.

Maybe it’s good to shill Valve’s linux products because it’ll encourage more people to use linux which in turn encourages valve to keep developing it since they want a contingency in case Microsoft decides to go rogue

It is good overall to do this but it shouldn't be a priority. Valve is ultimately just another company and their interests are aligned with the bourgeoisie. We can tactically align with them when it suits our purposes and criticize them when they take positions against the people.

You would probably really like Bazzite it’s very similar.

I’ve seen this mentioned a few times here and I keep reading it as Brazzers

may wanna consider Bazzite, it’s Fedora (atomic) with added optional SteamDeck themes/ui so the experience can be familiar. there are different editions so you can get the one that loads into desktop instead of directly in to gaming for general use, with all the gaming support still available.
