1. Follow the site-wide rules
- Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
- Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html
2. Be civil
- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
- These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudo
in Windows. - No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

Bazzite is prob the reason they don't have to
There are internal talks to go back to Debian, very likely the public release is delayed until then.
Why tho. Arguably arch definietly shouldnt be their first choice of os but why bother changing it so soon
Do you have any source for this?
I'm afraid it will have to be a "a friend that worked on the deck told me". 100% understand if nobody believes
Do you have any insight as to what pain points are driving this? I'm just legitimately curious
This is quite old (way before OLED), so might not even be still a thing, but I remember that arch was updating too quickly and things were breaking all the time, so it took a lot of effort to get stable releases for steamOS.
