Comment on [Deck] A Linux Power User Puts SteamOS To Work

I haven’t had to fuck around with any game.

Noodle probably only knows Linux from fiddle distros and now thinks that SteamOS is the only one that works out of the box which is just not true. There are plenty of mainstream options like Bazzite.

I’ve been a Linux hacker for a quarter of a century.

  At worst you need to install Steam on other distributions and then compatibility is no different than on SteamOS (on equal hardware because hardware, of course) because Steam runs its games inside standardized containers since some time.

    Thats really encouraging and with the Steam VR headset betting on flatpak as one of its main avenues actually super exciting considering its an arm box.

    Hopefully the maintainers of RetroDECK compile an ARM version until then: github.com/RetroDECK/RetroDECK/issues/1195
