From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Arch seems like it would probably be one of the best distros to pick for gaming because of Valve's use and support of it for the Steam Deck. I can't answer the specific question
It involves a lot of self-setup and management. A lot of the benefits of Valve working on Arch will find their way to upstream and then to other distros, so that benefit is likely very small.
Happy to try an Arch based distro if it meets my needs. I have Cachyos downloaded but not looked into it yet.
I use CachyOS and it works great for my gaming needs. I use a PS4 controller on it just fine, no clue about the newer XBOX controllers, but I don't see why they wouldn't.
