Steam Deck Notes

Steam Deck = The overpowered media player you dreamed of 20 years ago.

What is this?

This a repository, but actually just a bunch of notes in markdown or ASCIIDOC format. Even though it is a GIT repository you should not depend on it in its current form. I may turn it into a Wiki, something like Root Pages, Obsidian, a monorepo or something different.

You should start reading FAQ

Status: Windows

  • Should be cleaned up a bit

  • Windows installation is fine so far for my needs

    • windows_drivers contains a script to download the last known to work drivers

    • windows_installation contains scripts to be run right after the initial boot to set up things

    • windows_installation\config contains a few configuration files or assets for the initial setup, everything beyond that should be handled in dotfiles

  • Mostly used to run games from Epic Games Store. Sorry if you expected the perfect setup.

    • Restore Games should allow for quick recovery when an installation has issues without downloading a lot of content again.

Going forward this will be my only Windows installation that I keep around and I will not use it much. Thank you Valve for making Windows almost obsolete for an occasional gamer like me, and for improving Wine and developing Proton.

Status: Linux

ℹ️
Using a terminal in game mode to me feels like using what could have been a well rounded Windows 8 experience.
  • Drive is unencrypted and I will not change the partition layout myself right now

  • Dotfiles (private repo) are messy and need to be restructured

  • Flatpaks are fine

Tinkering with SteamOS aka »Don’t have a Steam Deck«

TODO: consolidate with the other section: HoloISO

Put Ventoy on a USB drive or SD card, and put the HoloISO ISO file onto it. Boot it. Now you see what Steam OS is like. Requires a general purpose computer obviously, not a Chromebook or anything with an ARM chip. For now. Installation to hard drive can be done, but I guess the developer needs a hand getting UEFI to work.
