[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. (sopuli.xyz)

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.

Yeah, for sure. You likely will want to unlock root, and disable read only fs, to do so, but its basically a modified Arch. You can even install other distros if you feel so inclined.

One thing to note is that SteamOS updates are known to break pacmans package db.
