Vanilla OS 2 Orchid has my interest right now, though I haven't had a chance to test it out on my hardware.
Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) is a good alternative if you want to ensure compatibility with Steam and Proton.
Devuan if you would like to avoid systemd.
To be honest, I haven't used any of these distros as a daily driver, I instead use Linux Mint 22.3, but I would choose between these three if I was to leave Zena for a Debian fork that I know would run Steam.
