      They take a specific version of arch, then add packages/changes selectively.

      A little bird told me it’s quite a pain that arch updates so fast, because if they want to update package A they need to deal with a dependency hell due to everything having update on the meantime, and switching to Debian was even discussed still around the time OLED was released.

        They take a specific version of arch, (…)

        Which? Which one?!!

        I believe they might take version numbers (for packages) from Fedora or somewhere else.

          One “day”. Doesn’t need to be a numbered version. It’s there same as any other non immutable release in a way. Ubuntu 24.10 is different from one day to another, even with the same version number.

      Try it. Open the terminal and try to do an update. You can’t, neither the system. Steam OS is image based, conceptually equal to Bazzite.

      If you want to install up to date packages and make your own environment inside SteamOS you need to use Distrobox. It comes pre-installed.
