Does linux even work on steamdeck? Has anybody tried?
Nah, Valve would never allow it
Good joke, I did mean Linux on Desktop though.
I bet you can get some version of BSD running
More-or-less bog standard amd64 with amd graphics? Assuming the generic AMD video drivers work FreeBSD should be able to get to a graphical UI out of the box. Might not have controller or gyro drivers, but a keyboard and mouse should work fine.
Now I have a project. Thanks, Droechai...
I assume this is some joke about Steam OS I'm not understanding.
