If you want Steam support out-of-the-box, your bext bet is Ubuntu or one of the derivatives thereof (Kubuntu, Xubuntu etc).
But realistically, Steam runs fine on basically any modern distribution. Even if not supported by the distribution's own package repo, you can also install it e.g. via flatpak. I personally use a distribution related to Arch, which does not support Steam as-is. But I have flatpak installed, and Steam from Flathub using flatpak. It works perfectly.

My only basis for evaluating the (public school) US K-12 education system is my own observations on the quality of teaching that was done to my kid when he was in public school, and contrasting to the education I was provided with myself growing up in Europe. The contrast was stark. Most of the 6th and 7th grades were for instance spent on rehashing the exact same subjects as in 5th grade without any significant development.
I was fortunate enough to afford moving him to private education starting in 8th grade, and that made a very significant difference.

The USB-C port on my 5-year-old phone is now functioning only intermittently. On a good day I can charge the phone. On all the other days I can't. And that is after going through a large number of power adapters and cables.
The USB-A ports on my 10-year-old laptop all function well, no issues there. Being used on a daily basis.

Yes; I did not say that it's impossible, only that it's very difficult. And then they never did it again, because it was easier to do with the conventional isotopes such as Pu239 and U235.
In all isotope chains there are candidates for use as fissile bomb material, but some are just not worth the effort to use.
