Not even sure what that is, tbh

Afair, SteamOs still requires you to have another OS for actual work, and most games working on it are already working on other Linuxes. Didn't check it for some years, though, maybe they managed it to work with most Win-only games...
I personally agree with OP about Mint, but many games on Steam work even on Debian.

I'm on Arch and need to finally fix the missing characters.

That's going to be a font thing, right? If I recall correctly, installing a font that has the missing characters in the usual way should correct it, if your system has fallback fonts sent up correctly.

Had similar for Steam on Debian - never got to fixing as most Net solutions didn't work and actual working went ok.
Mint worked well in this, though. I think it was initially a bit gamer- oriented.

Damn. So there IS a Linux thread in here.
Oh well, I'm going to just use this thread. Two and half years of dormancy. A lot has happened in that time, huh?
Well, for now, I've transitioned from Bazzite to CachyOS.
I used to outright build my own Bazzite image. Well, build ublue image, I mean - I made my repo from back when all we had was the ublue-kinoite image.
They're convenient, and works well enough for the most part. My issue is that I just don't agree with how the admin runs the project. At times, it feels like it's their owm playground more than a platform for people to just make their own. The constant replacement of KDE/Qt apps for GTK/libadwaita especially irked me. Them removing Discover for Bazaar, when it wasn't ready, was the last straw for me.
I then used NixOS for a bit, but it just doesn't work out for my system. It's just excessively stuttery, which is understandable on my old laptop, but not so much on my ROG Ally. And Jovian is still mainly for Steam Deck, not ROG Ally.
CachyOS has been great, so far. A lot of what they do is invisible, but I actually tried Arch via archinstall for a day on my laptop, and I just realized how much CachyOS does that is annoying to do from vanilla Arch.
I don't really like Shelly, though. I think Octopi is a more straightforward GUI package manager. Though I do mostly use Flatpak still, so... Ehh.
Still, I'm satisfied with all that CachyOS has done. It really feels like an Arch distro that sets all the hassle invisible stuff and just gets out of the way in the way that users would want to control.
