Xubuntu is just a what is commonly referred to as a spin, its still Ubuntu under the hood. And official support is not really that important, if you mean something like deb packages. Due to the Deck having arch under the hood I'd expect them to also "support" that.
My personal game collection is 90-95% working on Linux without issues. The games that do have issues got less and less with time.
Yeah, I’d really prefer not use Debian-based at all. I only tried Xubuntu because of that. I started with Manjaro first. I’ll probably just run with Xubuntu at this stage at least until I get used to the in-and-outs of gaming on Linux.
I’m curious, how much of your personal game collection natively supports Linux, versus support via Wine, etc.?
I did not like Debian-based also. I don't know what it is but I've seen it on 3 machines with packages breaking and not being able to fix it. I've had package issues on arch before....and those I could fix myself easily.

with dualboot: if a game doesnt run, move it from the windowspartition to a linux one.
skyrim for example doesnt even start from ntfs. also steamtinkerlaunch can run modorganizer2 perfectly.
