      That’s an illogical either or question because it’s both. Valve moved from Debian to Arch because of its more recent upstream packages, yes, but Valve’s upstream contributions in turn made Arch (and the other distributions) better for gaming.

    Arch Linux totally rocks for gaming.

    Any disto with a reasonably recent kernel and drivers will rock for gaming.
