Just got a steam deck and immediately checked out the desktop mode, and I was somewhat surprised to see KDE and pacman as opposed to GNOME and apt, I have nothing against the former though a strong preference for the latter, anyone know why Volvo went in this direction?
So noone is talking about Volvo?
Other than that, SteamOS started with Debian and switched to Arch last minute before the steam deck released.
Volvo probably trying to cast off their reputation for being “safe ang boring” and take on a more edgy image.
Ditching Internal combustion in favour of steam power is also a major shift for them.
Wasn’t Volvo the company where some exec got run over when they wanted to demonstrate the automatic emergency stop feature? And all this after they gifted seatbelts to the world.
That actually ended up being untrue. There were claims that it was the CEO, then it switched to “some random executive”.
Turns out it was neither, and the identity of the people (there were two) struck is unknown. Not only that, the car in question didn’t even have a pedestrian detection system, because that’s an optional extra that the XC60 in question didn’t have installed.
The rumour also said that the “CEO” was paralysed, which is also untrue. The injuries sustained were so minor that nobody went to hospital.
