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?

    Pretty sure this is way too late of an answer, but in the spirit of participating in a fledgling community:

    It actually feels really nice and unless you were really, really familiar with how everything was spaced, you could forget you were on Nobara.

    The only exception I have noticed (but may not be unique to Nobara) is that for some reason I cannot use my ethernet connection for internet, my network only works with WiFi. It was working on SteamOS. I decided to wipe my deck and put Nobara, and I am having that issue. It’s actually why I went onto this community, because I haven’t been able to figure out how to fix it.
