I read through the update but I'm not quite sure what this means for Valve or Arch Linux. Can users expect better compatibility with hardware and software for gaming? Will this affect other distros or only Arch?

I guess Valve gave some servers to Arch for building/signing packages 🤔

By supporting work on a freelance basis

This sounds like Valve is paying devs to work full time on arch, and thus managing to achive more than volunteers could.

Steamos is based on arch so they are helping with upstream development
