Why do you need arch?
When installing everything from Bazzite Portal, why does Bazzite install Steam and Lutris into an Arch Distrobox? Does Steam and Lutris run better when it's in Arch? Is it more compatible? (Why shouldn't I install Steam atleast, from flatpak like the other apps?)

Arch affords us more control than flatpak, we're able to install things like LatencyFlex which have no flatpak version, and the end user is allowed to use mesa-git if desired with no ABI compatibility concerns. It also avoids all the known issues with the Steam flatpak, and gives us a method of running an officially supported build of Steam.
Plus you'll get newer versions of Mesa and the like quicker than you would with Fedora native packages or Flatpak
yeah do get mesa-git in the arch container if you're on an AMD/Intel GPU
I got mesa tkg git off the chaotic AUR and its been working really well
I am! Well! Thank you! (Both of you for the reply. I very much appreciate it.)
