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?

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.
