Well then stop recommending Arch or CatchyOS to every new user that comes in here looking for a gaming Linux distro ffs.

Well, I dont. I'm fully aware of the footguns Arch based distros contain. I generally recommend Mint for Linux beginners. If the person is tech savvy and needs something for their gaming rig, then I might mention Bazzite.
