  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale

  • website

    Monorepo with website and API (by flathub-infra)

  • All of these can be installed via the included Discover app, which downloads apps from flathub. This store has most linux native apps you'd want to install like chrome, spotify, discord etc.

  • 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

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • boxtron

    Steam Play compatibility tool to run DOS games using native Linux DOSBox

  • 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.
