Should I switch? (I understand what server this is)

Yesterday I wiped my laptop to give it to my wife so that her and I can game together. I've been playing mostly on the Deck and using Shadow PC when docked or I need extra power. I've also been using desktop mode more frequently, which leads me to my concerns:

  • The file system is really restrictive, as someone who has done RHEL administration for 5 years it feels too locked down
  • Security seems to be lacking, even something as simple as not having a lock screen
  • I prefer Fedora over Arch (come at me Arch Bros!, jk I don't care to fight)
  • Lastly, KDE is overwhelming. While I like the Discover store... I prefer WM's or Gnome
I'm hesitant to switch because I don't want to miss out on new Steam Deck features, I JUST configured my Steam Deck to work the way I wanted it to, and I know there are going to be quirks with compatibility of plugins and such.

With that laid out, should I switch?
