This is interesting to me, because SteamOS, so Steam Deck uses KDE. I really wonder how they are going to tackle going from X to Wayland on 4 million machines, and what that will bring.

I thought it used Gamescope, with the option to boot to KDE.

So they won't have to do.much for Gamescope, and the current hardware should support Wayland. We shall see with the new hardware coming out next year though.

Oh, that's right! They use KDE only for the Desktop Mode operation, not the normal one. So yes, not much is impacted.

Steamdeck uses snapshots of Arch that are a year or two behind. That means if 6.8 will come to SD it will be in 5-10 years
