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.

should be fairly simple with any distro. personally, id recommend mint or something for ease of use. install steam, and you can use steam link for android (chromecast, roku, firestick, mobile), or steam link for linux (raspberry pi etc). steam has built in compatibility for windows games running on linux, and a built in streaming setup. a bit of an all-in-one solution.
you can try a steamdeck-like distro as others have suggested, but they may be less easy to learn on if youre not too familiar with linux already.
keep in mind nvidia drivers are a sore spot in linux, so if possible try to use an amd graphics card.
