Isn’t even the steam deck Linux nowadays?
Yeah it's skinned Arch Linux
Well, with an immutable filesystem and a customized kernel and mesa stack with backports from newer versions... so, really just an Arch-based distro in its own right
I....don't know. I wanna say it is, but like a special proprietary version or something. I really got nothing here.
It's just Arch Linux with the Steam UI and some extra packages pre-installed.
It definitely feels like they made a lot of additional little tweaks to KDE to make it work better with the display and built-in controls.
That might just be tweaking default settings, KDE is ridiculously flexible. They definitely didn't dig very deep into it or gamescope wouldn't be a thing.
