I'm so curious to know how hard it would be to make another Linux deck.
Back when Steam was trying to make consoles, they were recruiting others to make the hardware. I'm not sure how available software was then, how open options were then. But I so want to know it compares to today.
It sounded like the whole Deck UI was fairly custom at start? And there has to be a decent bit of custom integration, beyond the shell itself. Tweaks to the base Arch OS & it's packages. Supposedly the Big Picture Mode in Steam has gotten a decent overhaul that makes it more Deck like, but I haven't tried it nor a Deck yet!
I hope someone else out there has the courage to try a Linux gaming deck!
