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?
If we divided Gnome right out of the open source community, we wouldn’t have lost much.
It’d be a massive loss. The best DE would be gone.
Naw, Cinnamon will still be here.
Lmao
If we lost the open source community will have gained.
Yes, just that Valve would have ignored Linux existed. Nothing much. Companies would not make software for Linux. Not much really. Coherent ecosystem and work flow does not matter, but ricing every single button matters to the no life NEET kids.
A coherent ecosystem…of blank windows with not enough functionality crammed into a hamburger menu made the way it is mostly for aesthetics. A workflow that doesn’t make sense to most people who are trained on PCs. A dev team who hate their users.
No thanks.
If you want this use KDE. I for one am very happy to use a desktop that doesn’t follow 30 year old design.
Do you type on a QWERTY keyboard?
This is an entirely irrelevant argument. Do you use a dial up modem? We can replace things sometimes.
