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?

    You can also install “app stores” on arch, if you so desire. I believe the most famous one is pamac.

    You can configure the firewall with the KDE GUI, you don’t need additional knowledge than the one you’d already need for any other system.

    I wouldn’t recommend Arch for newbies with no technical background but I feel like EndeavourOS is very simple to install and use.
