From what I’ve read, you just need to start the CUPS service.

You should be able to play just fine with Arch Linux… The SteamOS is based on arch after all.
- Comment on Microsoft should be terrified of SteamOS 1 week ago:
I guess it depends on what you’re going to do with it. I own a Steam deck and love it, but the screen is too small to work.
I would rather buy a small laptop, install arch and go wild. To each their own.

What’s the point of having a gaming handheld and not game? Get a laptop instead
- Comment on Microsoft should be terrified of SteamOS 1 week ago:
Sure, nvidia drivers suck and I haven’t had the best experience migrating to Wayland. However, it’s important that people know this “limitation” in using SteamOS, especially since many other Linux distributions run both steam and Nvidia video cards just right.
SteamOS is a distribution that is great for a gaming device but I see people believing this is going to be a generalist Linux distribution and it’s not. Having a clear idea of what SteamOS is, what is good for and what are the current limitations is very important. Linux is amazing, Valve is amazing but SteamOS is not replacing Windows. Which is fine, that’s not the goal. I can recommend a bunch of distros that do replace windows if you want…

When it happens I will. Currently, installing SteamOS with a nvidia card just borks.
- Comment on Microsoft should be terrified of SteamOS 1 week ago:
It borks when you try to install SteamOS. It does not work. Bazzite just added beta support for nvidia, so check that out if out really want something as close to SteamOS as possible.
Or just use a generalist distribution because gaming on Linux is in an amazing state right now. Install steam, boot games.
- Comment on Microsoft should be terrified of SteamOS 1 week ago:
No, their Micro-compositor was written exclusively for AMD cards.
It makes sense since steam deck only has AMD cards. SteamOS is targeted at gaming devices, not as a generalistic distribution.
- Comment on Microsoft should be terrified of SteamOS 1 week ago:
I understand that people are hyped about a Linux distribution developed by a company they really care about. However, please be aware that SteamOS is focused at being an (almost) exclusive gaming OS with very limited hardware support. It doesn’t support NVIDIA video cards, for instance.
Steam already runs perfectly fine in most generalist distributions and you’ll have a wonderful time if you install them.
- Comment on [Discussion] Steam Autumn Sale has started. What are you buying for your Steam Deck? 1 month ago:
SpiritFarer is an amazing deal if you haven’t played it yet. Super recommend it.
I finally bought Kingdom Hearts. The price is steep, let’s see if it pays off.

I read a bit about it, seems great. I should probably give that one a go!

Are you playing the N64 version?
- Comment on Gaming Pillow holder for Steam Deck 5 months ago:
This is really nice for games optimized for the touch screen such as Football Manager or Magic the Gathering. Holding the deck with one hand and playing with the other is uncomfortable after a while.
- Comment on Gaming Pillow holder for Steam Deck 5 months ago:
Thanks for remembering me! I ended up getting a pillow for iPad.
This looks like a much, much nicer solution. Unfortunately shipping to Portugal alone is 71 euros making this a truly unreasonable price for me. Hopefully they get really popular and come to Europe!

Often Times even more, depending on the domain “extension”.

You can always pick food that is not supposed to be hot such as poke bowl or sushi! I usually have a good experience with indian food as well.
