Not surprising, SteamOS is based on Arch. Valve's already done a lot for Linux Gaming with Proton. Love to see them working on support for multiple architectures.

Arch is the best Linux distro the, Especially Endeavour os, so it is nice that Valve decided to use Arch

Definitely the best for gaming. Valve made the right choice basing SteamOS 3 on Arch instead of Debian.

what are debian's downsides for gaming?

Debian ships with very outdated packages, it's meant to be as stable as possible. Arch is the opposite, it ships with the latest bleeding-edge software.

Basically what Twig said, Debian is best suited for servers.

I dont think anyone has ever used Debian for every day stuff, it's like gaming on openBSD

Debian is a solid choice for workstation computers, that's why so many distributions are based on it (Mint, Ubuntu).

Edit: Mint is based on Ubuntu, which is based on Debian. There's also Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE).

yeah, but i was thinking like vanilla Debian

me who is on mint and wondering about openGL alternatives because krita issues (i tried disabling acceleration, but haven't tested since)

What kind of issues? Are you using an AMD or Nvidia GPU?

on-board AMD. at some point, no matter what tool/settings i use, nothing modifies the canvas. i can't create an ellipse, can't stroke with the brush, nothing. i looked it up and seems to be a common issue.

Did you disable OpenGL? If so, re-enable that. Try going to Select -> Select All then Select -> Deselect.

And bam, it generates a postscript or dvi or PDF documented formatted and ready for sharing. It's most commonly installed as texlive on unix systems, but it's even available for microsoft windows as well. A gigantic collection of packages and classes is available at ctan. Just wanted to share you with this because it's cool as hell.
