SteamOS or Nobara? (self.steamdeck)
submitted 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) by SeekPie to c/[email protected]
 

Just got the Steam Deck and have everything set up, but I found out that Nobara has a Steam Deck version of their distro. My question is: is it worth switching to Nobara SteamDeck Version or stay on SteamOS? Are there any other big differences other than Arch vs Fedora? Also, does it use KDE?

  1. Gnome is just an interface. You can install and use anything else you want.

  2. Fedora also used Gnome?

I use the kde spin, and while yes I know I could change the DE, I'd prefer something like nobara or bazzite that have it out of the box, especially sense I'm planning on getting my partner to install it (to show it's easier than they think)
