[Meta] **r/steamdeck_linux** will henceforth be restricted. Consider this the canon forum for the community. Also, sort by new; hot and active are broken.

I used to use Apollo daily. I'm so glad someone suggested that I set up this sublemmy as a backup. Loving lemmy and this community so far.

I restricted the subreddit to allow any guides etc to be available again, but such that no new content can be posted. If Reddit really goes back on their changes, I might public it again, but tbh that's unlikely.

I have been blown away by the amount of people that have already jumped ship, and joined this little community. Honestly had almost forgotten I had set this up. Glad to see you all here!

Edit: just to be clear, I was the mod of r/steamdeck_linux, not the larger r/steamdeck. It was a smaller, but more linux focused, subreddit.

You can stretch SteamOS's capabilities out a little bit, but I wouldn't get too serious about it. The OS partition(s) don't have a lot of space, everything gets bounced back to start with every OS upgrade, and between SteamOS upgrades its Arch signing keys get pretty badly out of date.

I dunno how long it takes for the Deck's particular drivers to upstream to "real distros". Arch may already be there, Debian is probably not.

Yeah I guess at a certain point (carrying keyboard mouse around with the Deck), you're better off just using a laptop

I don’t think so! I have an iclever portable keyboard that fits in my pocket even. Very portable companion to a device who’s purpose it to be “pocket” (more like small sling-bag) sized.
