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?

    […] anyone know why Volvo went in this direction?

    So noone is talking about Volvo?

    Other than that, SteamOS started with Debian and switched to Arch last minute before the steam deck released.

      Volvo probably trying to cast off their reputation for being “safe ang boring” and take on a more edgy image.
      Ditching Internal combustion in favour of steam power is also a major shift for them.
