the KDE Plasma 5.27.10 desktop is optionally available
Wow finally. Have they been on pre 5.20 this whole time?
plasma 6 plz 🥹 maybe one day
Wouldn't hold your breath. Doesn't have any beneficial impact on the main function of the Deck.
Idk it has way better language support. Currently ibus is kinda broken (also I could sear SteamOS used fcitx when it first came out...)
Main function of the Deck is SteamOS features though. Don't think KDE 6 is a selling point for many users, so would be a stretch to imagine them pumping engineering effort into a rolling package set upgrade, base being ARCH and all. Keep in mind the base OS is meant to be immutable, so feature updates need to be atomic.
