I know someone who uses bazzite-deck for such a purpose, it works well.
Looks very cool, might have to check this out. Can it be booted from a microSD card on the Steam Deck?
It can, but I wouldn't recommend doing it for long
Best to just create a copy of your internal storage with clonezilla and install bazzite in the internal storage
I tried installing this but both signing the install and the arch sandbox as well as several other setup steps in the bazzite setup would fail looking for a justfile.
Late reply but all of this has been fixed, sorry for the headache.
Oh cool, is there anyway mount a secondary drive? Whenever I try to mount a secondary drive, steam doesn't seem to see it when using the steam arch install.
Just make sure it's mounted in fstab, same as any other distro. If it's a permanent drive I would mount it to /var/mnt/ChangeMe
Interesting, okay I'll try it again when I have a chance.
Does this support older Ryzen APUs? What about rx 6000?
Both PCs were having issues with holoiso and chimeraos
Should support both, but there's an upstream kernel bug at the moment that can cause certain RDNA GPUs to lock at the lowest clock speed at certain resolutions and refresh rates. Just something to look out for
Thanks for the response. I'll check it out!
Not sure about the older APUs but rx 6000 GPUs should be fine.
