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.
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
Details, details… you gotta look at the bigger picture
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 Feels like it might be a little outdated.

I had to think for a minute straight to get this. :D
FYI - the owner of this site, gamingonlinux, was a mod on the [email protected] community until they were caught abusing their moderator powers. Then they deleted their account and complained on mastodon that it's stupid design that mod logs are public.
Instead, here is a direct link to the Arch linux announcement:

For all the times I've seen this written I've not ever seen any mention of what the abuses were. Have any details?
Scroll down to three months ago.
It appears our erstwhile whistle blower had his ego more than a little involved in this dispute, and still bears some bad feelings.
Regardless of who the abuse was against, any mod abuse should not be acceptable. People should see consequences for their actions and not benefit from the community they were abusing, particularly when it's financial benefits.
Appreciate it!
w/e it's an excellent site and galaxy of related services
I use arch btw
Steam OS, which they use for the Steam Deck is based on Arch btw, which is why
Arch is great but who cares what you're neighbor uses. Just enjoy Linux.
We all benefit from Valve's interest in Arch.
If this means more resources going to Arch development, then this is a big deal.
