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?
I don’t see Gnome fans brigading KDE threads and circlejerking about KDE being awful and the devs being cunts.
I’m a Gnome user for like 20 years, I don’t prefer KDE but glad it’s there. I never have but would be happy to support KDE and understand any devs being cunts on occasion, I’m sure it’s stressful. I’m glad they are there so I don’t have to use proprietary software.
I’ve used Gnome for a very long time but tried out Plasma 6.0 soon after it came out, and I’m very impressed.
I might switch back to Gnome some day, but KDE just keeps growing on me.
The seamless clipboard sharing feature between mobile and laptop is really cool, and that was just an unexpected bonus attached to a whole set of cool features. And everything feels cohesive in a way that I’m not used to.
I know you can get most of the KDE Connect features with GSConnect. I assume clipboard sharing works too?
