    It already comes with Linux installed, and an emulator can be setup with five button presses and thirty seconds of waiting.
    The base system is setup as immutable, but /home isn’t, so aur isn’t available out of the box, but flatpacks are for example

      That’s pretty rad. I don’t have one to know the nuance.

      I heard it was possible to install bazzite on the SteamDecks

        SteamOS is an Arch Linux, basically, with some stuff pre-installed. The only big difference is that it’s installed in immutable mode, but even that is not a big deal

          Thanks for the clarification. I really want to pick one up. Might wait a bit for a SD2 I’m sure is a year or two out.
