I used to use Apollo daily. I’m so glad someone suggested that I set up this sublemmy as a backup. Loving lemmy and this community so far.

I restricted the subreddit to allow any guides etc to be available again, but such that no new content can be posted. If Reddit really goes back on their changes, I might public it again, but tbh that’s unlikely.

I have been blown away by the amount of people that have already jumped ship, and joined this little community. Honestly had almost forgotten I had set this up. Glad to see you all here!

Edit: just to be clear, I was the mod of r/steamdeck_linux, not the larger r/steamdeck. It was a smaller, but more linux focused, subreddit.

    A fair warning, it might be best to try and archive the content and transfer it over to Lemmg instead of leaving the subreddit itself up. Reddit seems to be forcibly reopening communities to stop the blackout, so if one doesn’t act soon enough they might be forced out of their own subreddit and lose control.

      Yes, this was r/steamdeck_linux’s sister community, I set this up around the time I made r/steamdeck_linux .

      The subreddit was more for focusing on helping people use the Linux side of the Steam Deck.

      This community, however, can be more broad, but it’s the reason there’s a Tux in the icon.

          You can stretch SteamOS’s capabilities out a little bit, but I wouldn’t get too serious about it. The OS partition(s) don’t have a lot of space, everything gets bounced back to start with every OS upgrade, and between SteamOS upgrades its Arch signing keys get pretty badly out of date.

          I dunno how long it takes for the Deck’s particular drivers to upstream to “real distros”. Arch may already be there, Debian is probably not.
