I don't like how the manjaro team does it specifically. A lot of the time i've seen packages break in Manjaro that work fine in Arch, then Manjaro users come into Arch forums acting like its an Arch problem when it isn't.
Also, their driver install helper causes more problems than it solves, which was especially highlighted in the transition to open source official nvidia drivers. Couldn't install the open source ones for the longest time, and couldn't install the right ones from the repo with pacman directly. Caused some major issues for a friend I was helping.
Helped him switch to proper Arch and all the issues went away.
Valve on the other hand puts extreme effort into maintaining stability. I use it regularly and have zero issues, though I use it as-is out of the box.
YOU exist. In this universe. Your brain exists. The mechanisms for sentience exist. They are extremely complicated, and complex. Magic and mystic Unknowables do not exist. Therefore, at some point in time, it is a physical possibility for a person (or team of people) to replicate these exact mechanisms.
We currently do not understand enough about them yet to do this. YOU are so laser-focused on how a Large Language Model behaves that you cannot take a step back and look at the bigger picture. Stop thinking about LLMs specifically. Neural-network artificial intelligence comes in many forms. Many are domain-specific such as molecular analysis for scientific research. The AI of tomorrow will likely behave very different from those of today, and may require hardware breakthroughs to accomplish (I don't know that x86_64 or ARM instruction sets are sufficient or efficient enough for this process). But regardless of how it happens, you need to understand that because YOU exist, you are the prime reason it is not impossible or even unfeasible to accomplish.
This argument feels extremely hand-wavey and falls prey to the classic problem of "we only know about X and Y that exist today, therefore nothing on this topic will ever change!"
You also limit yourself when sticking strictly to narrow thought experiments like the Chinese room.
If you consider the human brain, which is made up of nigh-innumerable smaller domain-specific neural nets combined together with the frontal lobe, has consciousness, this absolutely means that it is physically possible to replicate this process by other means.
We noticed how birds fly and made airplanes. It took many, MANY Iterations that seem excessively flawed by today's standards, but were stepping stones to achieve a world-changing new technology.
LLMs today are like DaVinci's corkscrew flight machine. They're clunky, they technically perform something resembling the end goal but ultimately in the end fail the task they were built for in part or in whole.
But then the Wright brothers happened.
Whether sentient AI will be a good thing or not is something we will have to wait and see. I strongly suspect it won't be.
EDIT: A few other points I wanted to dive into (will add more as they come to mind):
AI derangement or psychosis is a term meant to refer to people forming incredibly unhealthy relationships with AI to the point where they stop seeing its shortcomings, but I am noticing more and more that people are starting to throw it around like the "Trump Derangement Syndrome" term, and that's not okay.
I think this post requires a certain level of schizo-posting culture (shitposting) to understand.
The character being portrayed by the young woman here seems to be an engineer of some sort who is fascinated with ocean-compatible robotics. She is implying that her research is going to be highly invaluable for when the earth eventually floods from polar icecap melting, heat expansion, etc. after the world "ends." Her robots would help with hunting/gathering tasks with the world underwater.
The "husbando" bit is a casual racism/"Engrish" way of implying that she is married to (or at least very into) you, the reader. You are her partner, or she at least thinks you are (could be one of those "they don't know they're my boyfriend yet" scenarios, unclear and needs more detail).
No you're supposed to rice the hell out of your Arch install, put an anime girl wallpaper, some form of neofetch replacement (RIP), and post screenshots about it while wearing programmer socks and loudly telling people how good arch is and how much their distro sucks.
Then complain about how you broke it and can't fix it because you used archinstall thereby skipping the setup and recovery lessons, and didn't read the wiki before updating.
Workflows are different, configuration files can be different, and package names (not just management) can be different.
Additionally, release cadence (how fast you get new stuff, even when considering fixed releases), stability, performance (how were the packages compiled), and custom patches that aren't part of the original code (shakes fist angrily at Manjaro)
I feel like I'm the odd person out, using Arch like most people use Windows. I play games, do taxes, shop online, and do very minimal customizing, mostly just in KDE settings.
It's a shockingly stable system for how "bleeding edge" it is.
There's a lot of emotional investment in that song at the moment. And the ringtone is just the very first riff on repeat, as that part sounds like an actual ringtone (wondering if that's on purpose)
I know you have your heart set on the remapping as the solution but I heavily encourage you to take advantage of the Steam Deck's extensive right-to-repair support and fix the buttons or swap the side PCBs out if that's what's broken and you can't solder. If its just the spring or the plastic, you can easily swap that.

If you can get ahold of their contact info via LinkedIn or business listings, maybe try calling them directly for answers since their service desk can't seem to give us any.
