Does anyone know why SteamOS is based on arch rather than Debian?
Just got a steam deck and immediately checked out the desktop mode, and I was somewhat surprised to see KDE and pacman as opposed to GNOME and apt, I have nothing against the former though a strong preference for the latter, anyone know why Volvo went in this direction?
You're viewing a single thread.
For KDE, Valve found it easier to work with KDE devs than GNOME devs.
Big surprise.
Doesn't kde work on debian? I haven't used it on the desktop in ages, but that seems odd.
On second thought, they may not have the most up-to-date version. So maybe it's that.
And if steam could make a Qt client while they're at it...
Of course it does. OP asked multiple questions, this was sipposes to answer why they used KDE instead of Gnome. I personally think Arch would have the advantage of having the newewst drivers, Proton version etc. available.
My hair is a bird.
