I have been quite happy with Arch Linux, up until I got my Steam Deck, at which point I stopped playing on my non-Deck PCs, so... SteamOS, I suppose.
... which is an immutable variant of arch.
It is, but I still count it as it's own thing, in the same way most people count Debian and Ubuntu as two seperate distributions.
Yes, you're correct, just a little funny that you moved from arch to basically steamarch, or as I've recently taken to calling it, arch plus steam
Came here to say SteamOS as well. I am surprised more people aren't saying it. But the thing is, the Steam Deck works so well I have to wonder how many people don't know/care the OS it runs, or maybe they have forgotten it's running Linux, or maybe they know but don't consider themselves "Linux Gamers" just because they are using it.
Sort of like how people playing on a Switch or PS3/4/Vita are technically FreeBSD gamers deep down.
