Does anyone know why SteamOS is based on arch rather than Debian?
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.
Rolling release, quicker updates for gaming, and pacman is an extremely fast package manager, which is why OpenSUSE Tumbleweed wasn't chosen. KDE probably because touch screen works better on it and maybe they found switching between desktop and big picture mode to be a better transition
KDE because it looks like Windows? So gamers will have a familiar interface instead of Gnome
Maybe? As much as I hate that statement it's probably true, cause windows does look like kde since they copied a bunch of stuff from plasma
And Plasma copied a bunch of stuff from Windows.
TW also has the issue of having 'controversial' software like the media codecs, etc not being included OOTB due to licensing concerns.
