This is some pretty exciting news! The Arch Linux team have announced a new direct collaboration with Valve (Steam).
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.
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 Feels like it might be a little outdated.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 use Arch BTW BTW
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:

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.
w/e it's an excellent site and galaxy of related services
I use arch btw
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.
