I wouldn't describe rolling release distros where you need to fix breakages for lazy gamers.
99% of breakages on a rolling release distro are solved by downgrading the broken package until a fix lands so it's not much worse than windows. You want to be chasing recent releases of pretty much everything if you want the best performance for gaming. You could run Debian but you'll be waiting 18mo for any new performance improvements to land.
They're specifically talking about being lazy though.
Install the Steam deck OS and pray I guess, they'll curate Arch for you
