I use arch btw
seems like Valve uses Arch

Seems like? Have you been living under a rock?

SteamOS 3 is based on Arch and was released 2022 with the Steam Deck.
- That sentence went right over your head it seems.
  
  It was a play on the "I use Arch btw" meme.
  
  I know the meme and it didn’t go over my head. OPs remark was either misinformed or poorly phrased. The meme isn’t “I seem to use Arch btw” and valve isn’t seemingly using Arch, they most definitely are.
- So despite what they say, Arch IS the superior distro
  
  When managed in A/B install partitions by a third party org that layers their own stable/alpha/main versioning over the top? ;P
I keep trying to find Arch BTW, but the download page doesn't list it
- BTW stands for Beta Testing Workshop, which is the "bleeding edge" version of Arch that gets released early. You probably want the stable, long term support version that only gets released very infrequently, like every 3-4 days.
  
  A 3 day old kernel build? Will that have support for my hardware? Feels like it might be a little outdated.
Steam OS, which they use for the Steam Deck is based on Arch btw, which is why
