  • gamescope

    Discontinued SteamOS session compositing window manager [Moved to: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope] (by Plagman)

  • Yes, although I’ve been a Linux user for many years, I didn’t really do any gaming on it until using the steam deck. The progress wine / proton has made is amazing since I last tried and I’ve since removed the windows partition altogether with next to no consequence to any of the games I play. I use an arch-based distro (Manjaro) and my experience it’s on par with the steam deck, adding packages like gamescope to bring it even closer (https://github.com/Plagman/gamescope). I also dabbled with HoloISO (based off steam deck recovery - https://github.com/theVakhovskeIsTaken/holoiso) it’s as close to steam deck you’ll get but it can get a little ‘twitchy’ at times.

  • holoiso

    Discontinued SteamOS 3 (Holo) archiso configuration [Moved to: https://github.com/HoloISO/holoiso] (by theVakhovskeIsTaken)
