I know there are some tools including firejail and bindtointerface on standard Linux Distros, but they don’t run in userland, so whenever the deck updates they will be overwritten.

Anyone have any ideas how to block access on a Steam Deck?

    Thanks for the reply!

    I can find my way around bash, but the most advanced script I’ve personally authored it probably “Hello World.” Would you be willing to share the script from pastebin or github? IDK, I guess you could copy and paste it posted on Lemmy.

    I think I need to do exactly what you recommended, but I may need some help setting it up. So are an update, you simply run the script to get the system changes re-applied?

      This is the script. /home/deck/scripts/fstab contains my customised fstab file. Yes, after an update, I just run this script once.

      #!/bin/bash

if [ ! -f ~/.config/kdesurc ];then
  touch ~/.config/kdesurc
  echo "[super-user-command]" > ~/.config/kdesurc
  echo "super-user-command=sudo" >> ~/.config/kdesurc
fi

if [ ! -f /var/mnt/nas ];then
  sudo -c 'sudo mkdir "/var/mnt/nas"'
fi

sudo cp -a /home/deck/scripts/fstab /etc/fstab
sudo steamos-readonly disable
sudo pacman -Syy
sudo pacman-key --init
sudo pacman-key --populate
sudo pacman -S --overwrite "*" nfs-utils
sudo steamos-readonly enable
sudo mount -a
