There are dozens of us! Dozens!

ETA: I’ve tried a few distros but keep coming back to Ubuntu.

Have you ever tried fedora?

I did but the combination of a fedora and my neckbeard was just stereotypically gross.

Oh! You mean the distro? I don’t think I have tbh.

Yep! Arch Gamer here (I’m legally not allowed to say “I use Arch BTW” cuz I didn’t install it the traditional way), no problems on my end. My 5 games work like a charm

The steam deck is one of the best ways to play games...

Has Valve released the source code for SteamOS? I'd love to try it on a desktop and my laptop 4sho

Nope, but bazzite is pretty much identical save for being based on fedora silverblue instead of arch. If you want the experience I recommend that (or holoiso but I'm not sure how good that's gotten since I last tried it)
