I know this has probably been asked before but I am currently using Arch and wondering if my choice is the best for gaming. What are the thoughts from the community? I have an AMD Ryzen 7 processor with 64 gigs of RAM and a decent AMD GPU. Gaming seems to be okay on Arch but I am wondering if I’ve overlooked something better. Thank you in advance.

        I mean I was kinda trolling with the suggestion, but then, I low key fucking love my steam deck, and have just rolled it as a daily drive when was between computers.

        If you are actually interested in a distro that is exclusively gaming focused, well supported, most likely to ‘just work’ for gaming…

          The public version of SteamOS is 2.0, which is very different from SteamOS 3.0 which is on the Steam Deck.

        ChimeraOS is a better option IMO, if you’re looking for better hardware compatibility and faster updates, and not just a SteamOS clone.

        Users should not consider SteamOS as a replacement for their desktop operating system.

        Can you show me where in the requirements the OP said anything other than “choice is the best for gaming”. I think SteamOS falls firmly into that category.

          This version of steam OS isn’t what is on the deck, it’s an old Debian-based distro Valve tried to push years ago for a failed “Steam Machines “ initiative. At the time of writing the os on Steam deck of not available for download.
