In that case you should really try OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. I used the Gnome based live image to install (although I wanted KDE) because it’s the only one with a usable on screen keyboard.
You should instantly have a usable system. Then you just need to install Steam.
That’s a fair desire for a touchscreen device. Don’t know why people are downvoting so much. You want GNOME on something that’s not Bazzite. To be honest, I’m looking for a good non SteamOS and non Bazzite distro pre-configured for Deck too (when I get one), for my own reasons. So you’re not the only one.
They’re being downvoted because they made a lazy post, then proceeded to say “no” to all the suggestions based on requirements they were too lazy to include in the post.

Doesn’t SteamOS satisfy that requirement? What do you dislike about it?

Bazzite offers a Gnome image, on the download page select Steam Deck then on the second drop down it’ll ask what desktop environment you want.

Yes bazzite offers GNOME but I prefer something not fedora
