Wait, isn't Steam OS Arch based now?

There is three things here:

- Steam Runtime: A set of common libraries Linux native games target for multi-distro compatibility, I believe this still uses Ubuntu as the upstream

- Steam OS: An arch based distro pre-configured to run Steam out of the box, used by the Steam Deck, comes with extra stuff like gamescope to smooth over various issues other distros have with VRR, HDR, etc.

- Proton: Runs Windows games on Linux
