You can install an Arch image as well. Distrobox should work fine with these OCI images: github.com/archlinux/archlinux-docker?tab=readme-…

The only time you might “tinker” with gaming is when you want to install, say, an emulator or Heroic from the Discover
ystore (flatpak) to play your non-Steam games, all of which is optional.Playing games from outside Steam is less tinkering in Bazzite than SteamOS because Bazzite supports those out of the box. I don’t have a Bazzite install in front of me right now but IIRC it comes with Lutris preinstalled.

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

FYI: github.com/Detanup01/gbe_fork
Still gets updates, unlike original Goldberg
- Comment on [Deck] A Linux Power User Puts SteamOS To Work 15 hours ago:
Also SteamOS runs Docker containers out of the box just fine because it ships podman.
- Comment on [Deck] A Linux Power User Puts SteamOS To Work 15 hours ago:
tbh i havent bothered to attempt gaming on anything other than the steam deck.
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.
- Comment on [Deck] A Linux Power User Puts SteamOS To Work 15 hours ago:
SteamOS ships both podman and distrobox.
distrobox create --image registry.opensuse.org/opensuse/leap:16.0 --name opensuseto install openSUSE, for example, thendistrobox enter opensuseto use it. If you like rolling releases, install and then executeopensuse-migration-toolto upgrade to Tumbleweed or Slowroll. - Comment on [Deck] A Linux Power User Puts SteamOS To Work 15 hours ago:
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.
- Comment on [Deck] A Linux Power User Puts SteamOS To Work 16 hours ago:
I just use openSUSE in a Distrobox container on mine. Installation has a needless pitfall because for whatever reason installing TW directly is broken but installing Leap and then using opensuse-migration-tool works fine.
I’m using this container to evaluate Slowroll.

Support the vast majority of titles with minimal friction right out of the box.
Games run via Steam Linux Runtime which is the same across all Linux installations of Steam.
I don’t want to have do dick around and tweak shit when I want to relax with a video game
If you need to “tweak shit”, you have not fully compatible hardware (NVidia or so), something SteamOS won’t solve because it’s just a regular Linux distribution.
I want to be able to slap an OS on a PC and have it be Steam Deck But Bigger.
You already can. The SteamOS recovery image is explicitly for other systems as well since quite some time. People use it on the Framework Desktop, for example, even though the devices list does not feature that PC.
Don’t expect ever formal support for any hardware where Valve cannot control the drivers. They’ve been fucked by proprietary platform holders in the past, they don’t want to repeat this again. So either your hardware is fully supported by upstream kernel/Mesa drivers (which SteamOS already ships because it’s just another Linux distribution with absolutely not magic dust) or SteamOS will likely never work on those.

What do you expect it would do that other mainstream distributions don’t?

- Comment on Steam Frame (Steamworks Documentation) 2 days ago:
Android should be closest to native and more stable than Proton because Lepton is based on actual Android Open Source code, not 3rd party reverse engineering of Windows APIs.

by your bloody metric
It’s not my metric, I merely repeated what I remembered from one of the interviews and my astonishment from hearing what I heard.
If you “wasted christmas”, that’s your metric, not mine.
- Comment on i cant wait to get a steam frame 1 week ago:
they advertise the fact that it can run half life alyx natively tho
Where? I watched an interview where the guys only said that they hope to make it happen and it would stream off a PC otherwise and that they were looking into a Aperture Desk Job sized game.
- Comment on i cant wait to get a steam frame 1 week ago:
The Valve reps said in some interview that the cannot even promise HL Alyx running natively on the Frame and that’s their homegrown flagship VR title. You’d think Valve would design hardware tailored to do that.

- Comment on I was recently gifted a Steam Deck for Christmas! If you only had a budget of, let's say 50 bucks, what would you get? 2 weeks ago:
I also was gifted a Humble Bundle game for Batman Arkham Knight.
Then perhaps redeem the game and complete the bundle at store.steampowered.com/sub/320795/ to play Arkham Asylum first?
- Comment on Steam Deck Client Update: December 19th 3 weeks ago:
Nice, downloads with screen off now stable!
It was shipped to stable a while ago. No idea why they repeat it in the changelog.

Oh, the ones who made the last steam machine
Valve made no Steam Machine before the upcoming one. Are you confused and meant the 3rd party devices that were branded Steam Machines? Those were not by Valve and not by the Half-Life development team in particular.
and controller and supported them for 10 minutes
Steam Controller 1 is still fully supported and got Bluetooth firmware several years after release: store.steampowered.com/…/3931035846865617357
- Comment on Just got my steam deck lcd and need help with wake on bluetooth 5 weeks ago:
My wife is aiming to get a Steam Machine when they become available. This steam deck is taking the place of it until then for me.
There is a decent chance the USB-connected charger/receiver for the Steam Controller 2 could wake a docked Steam Deck LCD, btw.
- Comment on Just got my steam deck lcd and need help with wake on bluetooth 5 weeks ago:
Which valve? The one that made half life? Lol
No, the SteamOS and hardware teams are actually different groups of people to the game developers.

- Comment on Beyond Steam Machine: Why Valve's New ARM Support Shouldn't Be Overlooked 1 month ago:
Steamworks SDK supports Android now. Obviously, should there be an official full Steam client for Android, the preferred route is for game developers to release native Android games with Steam integration.
