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?

      This is a dumb take too, it’s important to criticize and scrutinize anything and everything down to the smallest detail to understand what works and what doesn’t, how and why that is the case in order to make better decisions for the future. You have to think critically, especially about software even when it’s a matter of preference.

      I never see KDE get near the hate from gnome users because it just doesn’t affect them.

      It’s because everyone that uses Linux will stumble across gnome at least once because it’s in Ubuntu which is the first and only distro a lot of people use, so you have to go out of your way to use something else like KDE.

      i don’t understand why you’d waste time complaining about any you don’t use.

      Why do people complain about anything?

      Because why not? I don’t like Gnome but I complain about it because I can and I don’t like it.

      I also complain about IOS, macOS, And a lot of other shit that doesn’t matter. I just like to voice my opinion like everyone else. There is no need to listen.
