And why is Arch more popular than Ubuntu? Surely SteamOS counts as something different, so it's probably not that.

I'm not a fan of Ubuntu, but it's a very popular beginner OS, and I'd assume a lot of Linux gamers are lazy and use the thing that gets them into a game the fastest.

Arch is listed as a whole, while Ubuntu is a specific version (22.04 LTS).

Ah, good point. Still a lot more Arch users than I expected.

I've had so many issues with Ubuntu in the last few years compared to other distros that honestly I wouldn't feel comfortable recommending it as a beginner distro anymore.
