Depends on the distro, times have really changed in the last 5 years and even more since the steam deck was released. I distro hop a lot and my recommendation for a newbie would be pop os! Or Ubuntu. I was really impressed with pop, everything just worked right on install. Same with Ubuntu for the most part. Any guide for the current release of Ubuntu will work on pop os.
I've been using EndeavorOS recently and enjoyed it but I wouldn't recommend it to someone new to linux. It's not as hard to use as other distros but might be a bit much for a newcomer.
