EndeavourOS is moving to KDE Plasma for its live environment and offline installer from Xfce. You’ll hear no complaints from me!

    EOS and KDE are basically what SteamOS is running on the back-end. They use Plasma as their DE, and they use Arch as their OS. It’s just highly tailored to their hardware since it’s all AMD-based and AMD drivers have been open source forever.

    There are offshoot projects that build from the SteamOS source and then include Nvidia drivers, but I haven’t found one that was as functional as just running Endeavor and customizing it in the way that a Steam Deck would be designed for gaming.

      Yeah that’s basically what I’m doing now but using xorg instead of wayland. So I cant use stuff like gamescope and the steam big picture is horribly laggy for whatever reason with nvidia cards.

      Next GPU upgrade I’ll go team red but until then I’m stuck with the nvidia card.
