My ThinkPad needs more steps to cross the freedom finishing line, but it's better off running a free GNU/Linux distro with some caveats today, rather than just any non-free distro.

Why?
>It boggles my mind that the generic part of the OS is smaller than the hardware specific part of the OS that has to support firmware for every chip and peripheral dating back to the 90's

You can manually install Arch/Artix steam package into Parabola.
You can even (theoretically) set another pacman.conf where you use Arch/Artix server, and manually use that to update your steam package, and then refresh to your original pacman.conf so your system didn't end up frankenstain'd.
