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?

    I love Arch, so SteamOS it is. If I were you, I would just make sure I know how to get SteamOS reinstalled properly. Then just check out the Nobara OS yourself. You’ll never truly know until it is in your hands.

      Yep. I’ve tried several others and they’re not for me, but a lot of people are really happy with them.

      I like SteamOS so much that I’m using HoloISO on mini PCs around the house to simulate consoles and stream couch games from my gaming rig upstairs. But my experience isn’t everyone’s so get your hands on it and try it out.
