Comment on Any desktop-mode tips for a new Steam Deck owner?

Good luck! Incidentally, if you do end up going to CachyOS, I like webapp-manager for PWAs; should be in the extra arch repos. I’ve tried a few flatpaks for creating the necessary shortcuts, and I haven’t found one that felt quite as nice. Do go try some, though, because maybe there’s one that works better for you!

I forgot to mention. Turns out PWAsForFirefox doesn’t work at all with the Flatpak version of Firefox github.com/filips123/PWAsForFirefox/issues/142 so the whole question is moot. The project’s dev seems to be actively involved in making that possible though. I guess I’ll live without nice web-apps on the steam deck for now, it’s not a deal breaker.

  Someone said that Distrobox is installed by default, so I’m wondering if you could install Firefox via distrobox and also install PWAsForFirefox to that app in the same container.

I use it on Linux Mint, the biggest issue I have with it is external links:

How to open links in my main browser?

For Firefox, all links are always opened within the WebApp, either directly or using a new tab. To open a link in your main browser, right-click anywhere, select Copy link location and paste the link in your main browser.

Really annoying. PWAs For Firefox fixes it, you just gotta change a setting.
