SteamOS or Nobara? (lemmy.world)
submitted 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) by SeekPie@lemmy.world to c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz

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?

there's also bazzite. (fedora based on uBlue, uses kde)

But I see no reason for myself to switch away from SteamOS.

I am using bazzite on my gaming desktop PC. It does a good job.

If you switch away from steamOS you may not find as many places with people to chat with for support.
