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?

    No, GNOME is far superior to MacOS, so superior that Windows 11 copied it, and KDE copies Windows. That makes GNOME the godfather compared to hacky KDE.

        You think so? That shit has 2 right click menus and settings hard to navigate, not to mention the unbearable ad ridden Start menu, shitty Control Panel and AI garbage you cannot escape. You need something like AME project to make it barely usable. Oh and forced updates taking hours of time. All this is not a problem on Linux.

          Yes, and I think it’s easier to use than gnome.

            False, wrong, invalid opinion. I have been a user of Windows since 95/98, and a user of GNOME for almost 7 years. The current GNOME 40+ workflow and UX is beyond superior to whatever Windows is. Windows only makes sense till it does not, and the moment you try to do things other than the convoluted hack way we have been taught for over 20 years, it falls apart.
