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

So I’m guessing pacman doesn’t work properly since it’s immutable… What are your options besides flatpak and distrobox?
Huh.

Well that’s not what the OS is designed for, it’s designed to be simple to update and hard to break. If you really want a traditional package manager then you can just install a different OS, I guess.

Rpm-ostree isn’t really a traditional package manager (that would be pacman, which SteamOS does apparently have even though it presumably doesn’t work correctly).

Yeah that’s what I meant, if you really want to use pacman or one of the traditional package managers then install another distro

Right… I guess I’m just a little surprised that there isn’t a solution akin to Fedora Atomics’ rpm-ostree.
