Hello deck-ers?!

I'm shaytan. After some time away from the internet, and now leaving behind reddit, I'm trying to revive this community as I very recently got a steamdeck, but I've been passionate about linux, linux gaming, and hardware for a while.

My plans for this place are to keep it aligned with piracy and steamdeck, but also take a lot more time into helping general support questions, and sharing resources and content related to the steamdeck and handheld gaming.

I'll try to prepare some posts for this place, and if possible have a good wiki soon!

Any help is welcome!

Roadmap

1st -> ~~Mild overhaul of rules and look by the 2nd of February~~ Done.
2nd -> General opening post for a proper re-start, 5th of February
3rd -> Some pre-prepared posts/small guides dedicated to new users starting the 6th at a consistency of 1 a week at minimum.
4rd-> A proper wiki for all things related to the steamdeck by the end of February at worst
5th -> Some more hardware specific and more technical guides by march

As a disclaimer, I want this place to remain piracy oriented, but also more valuable for everyday use, so ideally this place should have more general deck content between piracy posts

It might be worthwhile to pay attention to how one can find a source. Don't get me wrong, I'm looking forward to your recommendations! But I'm thinking just in case that list faces some kind of censorship, to there's still knowledge regarding how to go about looking for a source that might be somewhat harder to silence.

Anyway, had no idea this community existed! This will be my first subscription, I think; up until know I've been content to just scroll the All feed. 😅

Oh! As a newbie, Wine had an unexpectedly steep learning curve at times. So I would definitely recommend guides or explanations of stuff like "what is a Wine prefix, and when might I want to customize that instead of settling for the default?"
