Re:Why Valve Is Switching from Debian to Arch for Steam Deck... by TomasBaneUK on Monday August 09, 2021 @02:47PM (#28120673)
I like Arch because it's a "containment" distro just like Manjaro. It keeps a lot of the most toxic gamer and ricing community isolated in some form. Thank god Valve picked that. Don't get triggered by what I'm saying, there are plenty of great people in the Arch community and the software is great but what I said is still true in many ways. The forums and even their reddit is very hard to interact with, I always had to walk on eggshells. Another great thing is their wiki and I use it all the time.

Weird that the article doesn't mention KDE Plasma as I believe it's another reason why they need rapid development. They are finishing some huge migrations like Wayland and refining their theme and applications so it's even more accessible to less technical folks. I was scared to death when the reviewers were using Plasma docked because it needs a lot of testing before it's ready. That's natural when you are making big changes.
