  Since SteamOS is Arch based (same as endeavour) shouldn’t it also have up to date kernel and mesa?

    Maybe should, but it doesn’t. Current kernel is 6.16 as of the SteamOS update 3.8 last week. Endeavour is up to 7.0.12. SteamOS is always a few versions behind.

    SteamOS takes snapshots of Arch and spends months testing and bug fixing for their hardware

    It doesn’t pull directly from Arch

      The fixes should mostly still get pushed upstream though

        The context of my comment was the previous poster thinking SteamOS should be up-to-date due to being Arch based.

        I was explaining why it’s so far behind
