Can I pre-format an sd card and start loading it up?
Seems theres some work needed for it to work with btfs, perhaps someday. It seems it can work with btrfs, but there can be some issues. https://gitlab.com/popsulfr/steamos-btrfs

Can't launch proton games after installing BTRFS
I followed a guide to install BTRFS support and successfully converted my /home directory and SD card. However, I encountered an issue where all games using Proton stopped working. I attempted to resolve this problem by changing the Proton version (stable, experimental, GE) and reformatting the SD card to Ext4. Interestingly, native Linux games are functioning correctly. Logs aren't really helpful:

I formatted a sd card to btrfs but now it work on my steamdeck
did you properly set up the btrfs script on the Deck in order to do this or did you just reformat it as btrfs without any preparation?
- Anyone try this to convert to Btrfs file system? Apparently better load times and other benefits

trying to format ssd to btrfs
i use btrfs for my steam deck windows dualboot and it works great for storage sharing. I already ran this script to convert the sd card a while ago and it worked perfect, but now I want to do it again and this time make use of the script's feature to have a btrfs /home so i can access the ssd's storage on windows. however, when I run the script again, it opens a window asking "select the rootfs devices to install into" and a bunch of long file directories i don't understand. have i just missed the boat for a btrfs ssd, and i shouldve done it at first setup?

How to go about backing up Flatpak apps and data?
Ahh, that's a huge peace of mind! Which method of setting up btrfs would you recommend? I found the old btrfsdeck repo, which pointed to this new one.

Things to setup on a new Steam Deck?
Btrfs is a filesystem which supports copy on write and filesystem-level compression, both of which combining to potentially very large storage space savings. If you're interested, there's a program which can convert the Deck's /home partition to btrfs here: https://gitlab.com/popsulfr/steamos-btrfs

Tips on jailbreaking the SteamDeck
Even the creator of SteamDeckPersistentRootFs said it's a bad idea and he's run into issues forcing config changes to persist between updates.

Steam Deck Desktop Workarounds (permanent full access)
This scares me. If I got this right it leads to the same problems described here: https://github.com/Chloe-ko/SteamDeckPersistentRootFs Which are inconsistencies with old versions in the overlay and new versions of the newest firmware image.

my return to gaming mode has disappeared from my desktop. Does anyone know how to get it back?
Legit, if you want to get a little more involved with linux you can play with the persistent rootfs trick. https://github.com/Chloe-ko/SteamDeckPersistentRootFs What this will do, is allow you to actually install things from the arch command line installer and have it stay between updates. If you want a graphical installer for the arch install manager tkpacman is a nice lightweight one; and is what I'm using now.

Always used Fedora/Ubuntu Linux in the past, but after I get my Steam Deck
lol. Also! If you want to take advantage of the linux core I recommend this trick for a persistent FSRoot https://github.com/Chloe-ko/SteamDeckPersistentRootFs

How to get around the deck wiping out all non flatpack software?
GOG games for Linux, and those you install via Lutris should be fine by default. That being said if you want to install software from the official Arch repositories or the AUR, I would suggest using something like https://github.com/Chloe-ko/SteamDeckPersistentRootFs to provide an overlay for you to install your software into.

Technically the steam deck is the only modern console to be immune to jailbreaking
Yes but it is completely overwritten each OS update. I worked around that with Overlay + a few other modifications to allow reboot to non-overlay OS and restore overlay after update.

Any advice on how to install Pamac, AUR helpers and/or missing headers?
Not made by me works great so far https://github.com/Chloe-ko/SteamDeckPersistentRootFs

Installing other distros and driver support on Steam Deck?
I ran endeavour OS for a week on it all worked except the sound on the steamdeck, worked trough HDMI but I could not find a sound device onboard of the steamdeck. Had some problems with network but I will say probably to do with my USB c hubs. In the end I went with https://github.com/Chloe-ko/SteamDeckPersistentRootFs for my use case it is just easier then dual booting. Made some simple scripts that I can execute as games in steamos to select if I want BSPWM/Gnome and then click go to desktop and all works.
