Not necessarily. I'm not using system Mesa for most games, see link above. But most of the time things work with system Mesa anyway, so rolling distro takes care to update it seamlessly, unlike Ubuntu which requires jumping through hoops to have Mesa up to date.
There are valid reasons to run a rolling distro (as if reasons are needed if that's what you want to do), but purely for gaming you're likely better off running a distro that games officially support.
I'm not trying to start a debate here. I'm trying to point out that telling someone he's using the wrong distro is rarely helpful.

Still says OpenGL 3.1 though. Is this something I ought to update as well? And if so, how?
(And, does anyone know if mods work with the Linux version?)
