Please don’t say Bazzite as I wasn’t able to get SteamVR working on it. I’m looking for alternatives. The current plan is to try plain old Ubuntu instead.

Both are literally corporate products by Linux Mint Ltd., registered in tax haven Ireland. They make money by setting their own affiliate IDs for web search etc. (money that would have gone to the upstream projects by default). At least Fedora has people working on the distribution that are actual contributors to the Linux stack.
Also, regular Mint is based on Ubuntu LTS. For gaming more recent versions of gaming-related components, mostly Mesa, are preferable to long term support. That’s also the reason stated by Valve why they switched to Arch as upstream for SteamOS after using Ubuntu and Debian before.
