As Lemmy doesn't have flairs yet, you can use these prefixes to indicate what type of post you have made, eg:
[Flair] My post title
The following is a list of suggested flairs:
[Discussion] - General discussion.
[Help] - A request for help or support.
[News] - News about the deck.
[PSA] - Sharing important information.
[Game] - News / info about a game on the deck.
[Update] - An update to a previous post.
[Meta] - Discussion about this community.
Some more Steam Deck specific flairs:
[Boot Screen] - Custom boot screens/videos.
[Selling] - If you are selling your deck.
These are not enforced, but they are encouraged.
Rules:
For the windows .msi version, you might try installing it on a windows computer and then copy the install directory over to the deck. Then you can add the executable to steam as a non-steam game, and force proton through the "force compatibility tool" menu.
I believe the libXrandr.so.2 library can normally be installed on Arch by installing the libxrandr package, but I'm not sure how to install that on SteamOS without unlocking the filesystem.
Installing the msi to a windows machine, copying the files and running the executable with proton did the trick! Thank you so much!
For Arch/Manjaro/SteamOS :
sudo pacman -Syu libxrandr
For Debian/Ubuntu :
sudo apt-get install libxrandr2
Yeah, but with steamOS being immutable you can't install stuff from pacman without unlocking it first.
True. But the only other way I can think of is to extract the Arch packages and add the libs too $LD_LIBRARY_PATH , which might end up being more trouble than it's worth because you'd likely need the libraries from libxrandr's dependencies as well.
For example adding
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/foo/lib:/home/myself/lib
to .bashrc
I haven't messed around with it much, but I wonder if you could use an overlay like rwfus to install the libs.
Apon your referral, I've read the source files for rwfus.
I believe it would work, however I'd highly recommend against it. If you do try it, use it with the utmost care.
It has some flaws; I mean if the warning in README.md wasn't obvious enough, lol.
