It has always confused me how they're able to keep updates for too long on a rolling release distro. What kind of magic do they use to achieve that?
I wonder if it's running some sort of "split release" cycle, where the KDE environment updates are delayed, but kernel and graphics drivers are rolling.
I'd love to know. I'd assume that "split release" would be happening on the steam client itself (when you get an update through the steam settings), because going into desktop mode, you only get flatpaks update (at least as far as I know). You can't just run
sudo pacman -Syu
and get your update.
