Hello deck-ers?!
I’m shaytan. After some time away from the internet, and now leaving behind reddit, I’m trying to revive this community as I very recently got a steamdeck, but I’ve been passionate about linux, linux gaming, and hardware for a while.
My plans for this place are to keep it aligned with piracy and steamdeck, but also take a lot more time into helping general support questions, and sharing resources and content related to the steamdeck and handheld gaming.
I’ll try to prepare some posts for this place, and if possible have a good wiki soon!
Any help is welcome!
Roadmap
- 1st -> Mild overhaul of rules and look by the 2nd of February
- 2nd -> General opening post for a proper re-start, 5th of February
- 3rd -> Some pre-prepared posts/small guides dedicated to new users starting the 6th at a consistency of 1 a week at minimum.
- 4rd-> A proper wiki for all things related to the steamdeck by the end of February at worst
- 5th -> Some more hardware specific and more technical guides by march
As a disclaimer, I want this place to remain piracy oriented, but also more valuable for everyday use, so ideally this place should have more general deck content between piracy posts
Mostly the same as any linux distro. The biggest issue usually are users, since linux gamers usually are tech enthusiasts and understand what they are doing to a degree, but the steam deck is the 1st of its kind to make so many non tech enthusiasts have to dig into linux (because of it comming preinstalled instead of windows)
So that’s that. Also steamdeck has specific issues but at the same time is easier to troubleshoot since it is the same system
As a newcomer, working with an immutable distro took some getting used to for sure. Once I learned some of the basic things like unlocking the filesystem so I can pull the list of packages, that kinda stuff, it got a lot easier!
