Does anyone know why SteamOS is based on arch rather than Debian? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

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?

The bottom line is that when I really need macOS, it’s built into the settings. Gnome is effortless. Windows is a constant battle.

    macOS does have a setting to remap the caps lock key and game has to recognize game sometimes. They stole the good ideas from Gnome. But if I can’t hit CAPS Lock+tilde and have a real terminal slide down, your operating system is dead to me.

    I’m sure I can get there on Windows if I cared to but I’m too busy deleting Candy Crush or whatever.
