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
