  and you can do everything on the steam deck that you can on any other pc

  Ok, how do I use rsync on the deck then? (/s, but I’d still love to know)

    1. Turn on
    2. Open desktop mode (in power menu I think)
    3. Open terminal
    4. Type rsync <source> <destination>
    5. Press enter

      Wait, its installed by default? I assumed I had to install it, which would not be possible, because its immutable and there is no rsync flatpak (I think).

        You can just install a distro of your choice on it that might or might not be immutable if you want. In the end, yes, it is a PC

    Are you not aware of “Desktop mode”? Hold down the power button for a few second, click “switch to desktop mode,” and you’re literally using a fully functioning Linux PC.

    Just… do it? It’s just a normal Linux underneath.
