      Nah, most things people try to run work no problem.

      It sounds like trying to install dependencies for libraries for R on Linux. 🤮

      I actually had a version of linux fail to run on linux recently: software updates were failing because the newest OS version updated some directories and file structures, and downgrading would require doing manually.

      Yeah SteamOS is celebrated for its contributions to gaming, but good luck running something that’s not in flathub

        I installed some games from GOG on the steam deck. The hardest part was trying to figure out how to make them show up in steam library. For software that requires modifying the system, you’ll have to jailbreak the steam os. It’s quite straight forward and irc it took me about 30min to enable sudo and install ydotool for autoclicker.

          Well yeah, it’s built to run proton which is wine to emulate windows games. I’m talking about using it as a Linux machine outside of purely steam / windows games. Try to install megasync, for example

          From my exp, the mojo installer (the GUI installer most GoG games’ Linux versions come with) does not require sudo
