Steamos is based on arch and also immutable. Can't they do something like that. Never liked bazzite cause it was fedora based. I feel like any gaming distro should be arch based and making it immutable would fix the arch breaking fear.
Why is everyone downvoting? It's not really a stupid question when they apparently already tried it.
Apparently they looked at it and had issues and bugs with arch which could not be fixed:

Building a distro is hard. Building a distro on existing architecture like uBlue is easier, but still hard, especially if you want to do it right. I believe uBlue was the right choice. This is just someone over in upstream doing something stupid.
