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.
