I look forward to all the improvements KDE Plasma will get with the Steam Deck

Quoting: NeverthelessI would be maybe.. but somehow I have the feeling KDE and Nvidia aren't friends...
The only "friends" Nvidia has on linux are the Mint developers, but Nvidia has no say in steam deck

Quoting: 1xokI wonder if the whole system is already based on Wayland?
The Big picture section will use Gamescope compositor (so yes) but I think the desktop version (KDE) will default to x11 (at least for now)

I'm not a kde user, but I am a fan of some of their software like Krita and Kdenlive, so I'm happy that their efforts are being recognized and hope that those improves include their wayland compositor too.

Valve dumped Debian Linux for Arch Linux with SteamOS 3 because surprise - faster updates

Quoting: NeverthelessValve guy shows how it's updated, and he says "system, Steamplay and Bios-updates" are updated at once in a big package for the benefit of knowing exactly whats on the device.
So I wouldn't expect anything like Manjaro..
Manjaro usually release updates in "packages" too like you can see here [External Link]
They're even criticized by vanilla Arch/other forks users for not releasing new packages in the same way as those.

I also couldn't open your youtube link, but judging by your comment for me it seems pretty much similar to Manjaro, but packaged to look like just a single thing (plus bios updates which is nice)

Quoting: NeverthelessBeeing upstream makes sense for a distributor.. But it's good they make a point release distro out of it, so they have actuality AND stability in their hands. At least for the core software...
They're probably going the "Manjaro route" on this one

Seems the Valve Steam Deck has been impressing people with some hands-on time

Playing fps on this mouse must feels like it's playing an arcade game :grin:

Valve talk about learning from mistakes with the upcoming Steam Deck

I still think the main reason steam machines failed (apart from the lack of marketing) was Valve rushing SteamOS without "fully" understand Linux and it's limitations before, which it's a thing that's not the case nowadays.

That's why I think steamdeck will be a way more successful project
