Things to setup on a new Steam Deck?
It also allows you to install Boxtron, Luxtorpeda, and Roberta for some old school games, and then choose them in the launch options for Steam just as if they were Proton versions.

Mixed Mode Media Mounting (Steam Deck/Arch Linux) DoxBox X
Boxtron is tool for automatically converting DOS games on Steam from using "old Windows version of DOSBox via Proton/Wine" to native Linux DOSBox - I specifically implemented there conversion of case sensitivity in .cue but also automatic rewriting of paths (because some game developers publish games on Steam without testing them at all). Right now it does not work unfortunately :( - when it'll be fixed I will post the update on this sub and /r/linux_gaming (and others as well probably).

Help please! How do I start DOSBox-X (or Staging) with a specific conf file in Steam on Linux/SteamOS?
Yeah, that's the annoyance of using flatpak unfortunately :( The version of Boxtron from flatpak store is designed to work with Steam installed via flatpak - which is not the case on SteamOS. I created a bug report for myself to fix it: https://github.com/dreamer/boxtron/issues/53 - you can follow the progress there.
- My haul from the Autumn sale. Not bad for under $40
- Does this guarantee a true offline experience with no further logins required for single player games though? Like switch, ps5, Xbox? The deck is a portable system, so if internet is still required then the offline update didn’t truly fix the main problem. Does anyone have any information on this?

I'm guessing there's ways around this?
For DOS games on Steam, there's also a Proton alternative called Boxtron that is basically DOSBox packaged to work as a Steam Play compatibility tool.

are there any unofficial itch.io apps that are available by flatpak or repositories?
https://github.com/gjpin/itch-flatpak found this, but no easy way to download it tho

My Ultimate Steam Deck guide after being able to use it for about a month
u/Cool-Arrival-2617 informed me a while back of a itch flatpak that would probably work via SteamOS and might fix my issue with launching Turnip Boy, but I haven't got around to trying it yet.

I added the itch.io desktop app to steam library, but I'm unable to launch it from SteamOS
Someone started the development of an Itch Flatpak: https://github.com/gjpin/itch-flatpak that would definitely work in gaming mode. He tried to discuss with the Itch developers before submitting it to FlatHub (so that it would appear in the Discover store) but they don't seem to care much: https://github.com/itchio/itch/issues/2793 Hopefully he'll submit it to FlatHub anyway soon.
