Linux distro for gaming - Black Cat - Lemmy

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.

Bro.

Steam OS.

SteamOS

SteamOS is Valve’s Linux-based operating system. It features a seamless user experience optimized for gaming, while retaining access to the power and flexibility of a PC, and plays tens of thousands of games on Steam. SteamOS officially ships on Steam Deck, and will soon ship with certain Legion Go S models. We’re currently working on adding support for more devices.

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.
The OP also didn’t say they ONLY used Arch for gaming. I provided the information in case it was relevant to them.
