It's not the gotcha that they think it is. Increasing share of Linux, steam deck or not is progress. Any development or considerations made for the SteamDeck and its Arch based OS benefit the non SteamDeck Linux gaming scene too.

Mostly a stab at Reddit PCMR, Lemmy PCMR has a different vibe.

100% this, the more you know about Linux the less you care about the distro. Realistically I use Arch because I'm lazy and the AUR and wiki are fantastic, but the company laptop came with Ubuntu and that's what it will keep on running, I have servers running Debian, I've worked with devices running some flavor of Red hat, it's all the same, and whenever I see someone trying to be elitist for running Arch I imagine a 15YO living in their mom's basement thinking they're cool because they managed to follow simple instructions.
