I'm thinking Arch is definitely for me, then:

I prefer bleeding edge. No delay, things haven't broken my system in a decade, seems like it's fine for personal use anyway.
I don't need any kernel patches as a heavy gamer, my system can run whatever you throw at it.
The AUR seems to have a far simpler and less convoluted process for contributing than GURU.

Still, I'm curious: what kernel patches do you feel the need to apply, as a gamer?

You can enable the bleeding edge too, if you like. The repos have multiple versions of packages.

I need the bigsceen beyond patches for better VR support.

I've never contributed to the AUR, so I can't really compare. GURU does have a bit of process in exchange for some oversight, but there are completely unmoderated overlays too.

That's completely fair! I think pacman is a much nicer to use package manager than emerge, and Arch has a great community :3
