How in the world do I install NordVPN on my steam deck?
I'd recommend qbert rather than disabling the read-only filesystem. It survives updates and you can just turn it off if you want to.
- I've successfully system dumped the Steam Deck and ported SteamOS to a Chromebook. Presenting: the Chrome Deck

I can't believe I did not get the email today.... anyone else close and not got it yet? 😭
But if you do, qbert will make it behave like a normal arch Linux so you can follow the tutorials on the internet.

Bless them and Valve
This was recommended to me: https://github.com/XargonWan/Qbert
- Deal Valve, Please add Podman (and maybe Distrobox) to Steam OS so we can develop without breaking the read-only filesystem
-
Installing snap store is possible but there is a catch and it's lengthy to install!
Also, I would advise you use Qbert or Junest to install it, instead of making the filesystem writable, because a SteamOS update will wipe all that data

Can someone please ELI5 how to install a program in Steam Deck's desktop mode?
To do that, you will either need to unlock the read-only part or use qbert to get the same effect in a way that can't break stuff.

Access your Steam Deck Desktop remotely using krfb
for pacman on deck you can use qbert, which will let you leave the system read-only and lets you keep your files between updates. You can even put it into .bashrc so it runs automatically on boot.

Windows 11 now comes with its own adware
Regarding the stability issue on a dev machine - you may be interested in playing with one of the immutable-os distros, such as SilverBlue (fedora based).
The high-level take-away is you can't break your actual OS since it's root filesystem is read-only, and you use "pet" containers (on docker, podman, whatever) to do your work in. Applications are either sandboxed via Flatpak, or installed/run inside your pet containers. If your pet container dies, you cry about it for a moment, and when you're ready you get a new one - your actual os and other containers remain unaffected.
I use distrobox[1] to create/run the pet containers.

Tools for Linux Distro Hoppers
Distrobox is a tool that enables us to try Linux distro CLI, including their package manager. This requires a containerization tool (e.g., Docker). In Windows, this can be achieved using WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux)
- Distrobox: Use any Linux distribution inside your terminal

Fedora Atomic Desktops
I use containerized versions of things, ubuntu and chainguard images mostly.
You can always create containers with init if that's how you want to do that though. Some distros publish images that come that way: https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox/blob/main/docs/useful_...

Operating System?
Yes, you can do that but I've seen others use something like distrobox to run linux inside of SteamOS: https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox/blob/main/docs/posts/steamdeck_guide.md

How much will I screw up my system after installing Merkuro Calendar (KDE Akonadi application), formerly called Kalendar, on GNOME?
For such cases you might use something like this: https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox

Battery consumption of using remote development with WSL2?
Btw #3: Depending on what the user is trying to accomplish, e.g. maybe to make WSL(2) itself more of a "subsystem" than a "container engine", using something like Distrobox or nsbox.dev can be a good idea (along with Docker or Podman in Distrobox's case; the other one uses systemd-nspawn).

Cannot run containers with Distrobox
1. Find here in "Containers Distros" section the distro image that you want to install ("Toolbox" versions are better because they are configured for Distrobox) and get it URL: https://distrobox.it/compatibility/#containers-distros 2. Use that URL to create Distrobox: distrobox create -i registry.fedoraproject.org/fedora-toolbox:39 -n fedora_1_39 3. Enter Distrobox fedora_1_39: distrobox enter fedora_1_39 4. You are already in Distrobox console. Look at the name in console, it should be include the container name. 5. To exit Distrobox: exit 6. If you run: distrobox list you will see all distroboxes on the system. You will also see that distrobox that we exited is still running. 7. To stop distrobox use commands: distrobox stop fedora_1_39
