What is “optimized Windows”? Windows is Windows. There’s no gaming-focused version.
Removing / disabling useless services, tweaking registry…
There’s no such thing, to my knowledge.
SteamOS sure looks like one. Gaming focused if you prefer. I’ve seen a couple on Linux, though I don’t remember their name rn.
What is a “base distro”?
Something like Ubuntu or Mint, which would be more comparable to a desktop experience like windows, ready for productivity

That’s the opposite of comparable since none of that was done on Steam OS.
“Gaming Focused” distros aren’t anything special outside of having some pre-installed software.
SteamOS has all of those same productivity tools but I’m not sure how that’s relevant to performance.
