Having arch based os become mainstream would be huge for linuc gaming. Steamdeck already is and it just showing how much better linux is for gaming when approached with proper resources.
I was just reading the Verge's review of legion go s and Bazzite was giving like 10-40% performance improvement over windows - that's just crazy.
Absolutely. Linux is open and has less overhead and background garbage that runs at all times. Linux is also very modular and you can strip all the things you don't and add only what you do need to it.
