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?

    Since the start. Forget working with them, it's a rough go to even try and communicate with them.

    And that goes back to mailing list days, creating a personal grudge against Gnome so firm that I haven't used it since the early 2000s.

    Thankfully there's KDE for my general use and a wide variety of lightweight options for other uses.
