For gaming purposes endevour is a terrible choice when cachy is a thing. Not that endevour is bad, its just cachy just pre does literally everything you would have to do AFTER an endevour install. Along with they have a ISO that is for the steamdeck.
Arch is also just objectively better then every other option again if your goal is first and foremost gaming. Because it has by far and away the best support for new hardware and nearly every third party community tool for every game ever is on the AUR and every gaming community with modders ONLY support arch basically because of it.
Again not because other options are bad, but this is teh steam report. Its gamers. So the best option FOR gaming is going to be on top. Thats arch, steamOS is arch, cachy is arch, and gamers with good hardware will graviate to arch because its the only way to have a painless and easy first time install for new hardware or to use teh community tools they got use to on windows.
Debian/Ubuntu and the others in that family all tend to have problems for gamers, fedora is a nightmare for new users. So they almost always end up just on cachy, or endevour/arch. Mostly cachy tho, as its canabalized most of manjaros gamers as the easy to install preset up distro.

EndeavourOS uses Arch’s repos first and foremost, with additional stuff from their own repos on top of that, so it gets both the new hardware support you’re praising, as well as AUR, and on top of that it’s easier to install and maintain.
I second this, endeavor is for all intents and purposes exactly arch with some extra branding, but what I really like about it is that their community forums are great, so if I run into a problem I can ask in endeavor forums, and if they don’t have a solution I can ask the tech gurus on the arch wiki as well.
