The side effect of SteamOS is that Arch Linux totally rocks for gaming.

  Is it? Or did they choose Arch because of the ease of setting it up with all the latest software the community was already packaging?

    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.
