This has been my experience too, with the exception being SteamOS. Arch and variants all inevitably break, usually after an update because I missed some patch note about a config change or something. Maybe non-Valve Arch+derivatives are better if used as a daily driver which are subject to more attention from the user, but I’m not convinced they’re that well suited to dedicated gaming boxes that need to just work without much fuss, especially for those not already versed in the ways of (Arch) Linux.
Other distros bring their own problems of course but that’s another topic.
