| π²οΈ ι倧ε πππ³ ηΎζθ π | Hi there! I make games over at #luckey:matrix.org, some of which are available as AUR packages, which - I just learned - is expected to run on a Steam Deck.
I don't own a Steam Deck, but if anyone would like to give them a try... | 19:16:34 |
 Fubarberry | AUR packages don't normally work on the deck as far as I know, unless the entire install happens in the users home directoryΒ | 19:25:46 |
| π²οΈ ι倧ε πππ³ ηΎζθ π | Any hands-on experience? | 19:26:37 |

| Fubarberry | So basically you have to unlock the normally read only system partition, and anything installed there gets wiped when the deck updates | 19:28:27 |
| Fubarberry | If the end install is in ~/.local/ or somewhere like that it will persist between updates | 19:29:08 |
| Fubarberry | I can't try it right now because I'm at work, but installing through distrobox might work | 19:29:57 |
|  fxhp βΎοΈβ―οΈππΊπ¦πΉ joined the room. | 19:30:07 |
| Fubarberry | But normally flatpak and appimage are the preferred install options | 19:30:21 |
| π²οΈ ι倧ε πππ³ ηΎζθ π | Fubarberry: Feel free to board #lkp-colourship:matrix.org. | 19:38:02 |
| π²οΈ ι倧ε πππ³ ηΎζθ π | ...at your convenience of course. | 19:38:02 |
| π²οΈ ι倧ε πππ³ ηΎζθ π | In reply to @fubarberry:matrix.org
If the end install is in ~/.local/ or somewhere like that it will persist between updates So deploying Arch binaries through itch may be preferable over referring Steam Deck users to the AUR? | 19:47:07 |
| π²οΈ ι倧ε πππ³ ηΎζθ π | ...as the itch app will install them to ~/.config/itch/apps/. | 19:48:20 |
| Fubarberry | Yeah that would be preferableΒ | 19:48:38 |
| Fubarberry | The standard deck user won't have the Linux knowledge to install from aur | 19:49:07 |
| Fubarberry | Most of them lack Linux experienceΒ | 19:49:23 |
| Fubarberry | And the deck as an immutable system has complications beyond normal aur use | 19:49:42 |

 sonicrules1234 | Stuff from the aur might get overwritten like normal packages might during one of valve's updates | 17:05:26 |
| π²οΈ ι倧ε πππ³ ηΎζθ π | At the moment, it's all there is:
- https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/hexon-git
- https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/opensaucer-git
- https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/tux-git
| 17:38:22 |
| sonicrules1234 | The whole overwrite with update thing is why I use Arch on my steam deck instead of SteamOS | 17:55:03 |
| sonicrules1234 | The script I use to get btrfs on steam deck can reinstall packages every update, not sure about aur though | 17:58:20 |
