why a desktop distro like Manjaro and not something like Bazzite that's actually made for gaming handhelds?

Or just HoloOS. Steam Deck has proven the design, why overcomplicate things?

Bazzite seems to perform better overall

Yeah, it looks nice. But they could probably get Valve to maintain their hardware in SteamOS if they approach them. But maybe Bazzite is also low effort, IDK.

Just put bazzite on it, that would be my first step

Well it's a Manjaro project... it would be pretty weird if they used another Linux distro for their own project.

FWIW I'm guessing it's going to be heavily customized and not bear a great resemblance to desktop Manjaro, like SteamOS doesn't resemble regular Arch.
