    there not many easy results for “arch based distro with KDE how to [do thing]” but there are a lot of Steamdeck tutorials and a SteamOS desktop version would make it better
    My yearly “I should try Linux again” cycle would probably stay permanently if Valve makes the OS

      People who just blindly copy and paste random commands without any transferable thinking shouldn’t use computers in the first place.

        everyone starts somewhere, it stars mindless then they eventually learn slowly but surely with a lot of mistakes. I did. I nuked my OS several times but now know a lot more about Linux because of it.
        If you apply that thinking then 9/10ths of the Linux community wouldn’t have ever started using it.
        Hell 99% of the non tech people I know IRL wouldn’t be able to send a text if that line of thinking is extended to them.

        So they shouldn’t pay their bills, do their taxes, work?
        You can’t live without using a computer anymore.
