Comment on Bazzite as an alternative to SteamOS?

I’d say SteamOS is a viable emergency laptop replacement as is. You can already use most office software in desktop mode.

The only problem that I had is that Steam OS doesn’t offer any full disk encryption. But I think I could just solve that with a veracrypt container. Even if an attacker gets access to the deck then they should not be able to decrypt the container.

Yeah, trouble with Bazzite at the moment is that you need a keyboard to decrypt it on boot for now. I’m waiting for the ability to enter my passphrase with the touchscreen.

Yeah, that would be a little problematic for something that is necessary on the go. Can you not just use a hardware key to prompt the paraphrase every time you boot ?

No idea. But I would even be too lazy to pop in a hardware key. And too paranoid about getting the key stolen along with the Deck.

Doesn’t yubikey have an HID mode where it acts like a keyboard and types a static phrase? You could do something like that for boot. Or possibly more complicated. Idk if modern bootloaders support cooler modes where the key resides on the yubikey.
