I’m also assuming OP doesn’t want a gaming-only setup / wants to actually have a general purpose use desktop too for work, etc.

Bazzite isn’t well suited as a general purpose work + gaming machine.

From OP’s post it sounded like they want simple / not tweaking their OS so they can focus on gaming.

ZorinOS or PopOS with nvidia drivers

can confirm. this is the way

I’ve heard ZorinOS is good if you want easy switch over from windows / want to keep similar UI

Given that this person’s boss wants them to dump company data into Claude, I see no functional difference.

The trick is to tell them you’ve been using it more than they have and that it’s not as good as chatGPT for task A, but that for task B claude does okay 25% of the time so we’ll need to 4x the timeline in order to get a good claude output based on that expected value.

But not as good as your personal local LLM that you’ve been training on company data. No one else can use it because it’s illegal to clone. (your personal local LLM is your brain)
