furimisuSteam os? Isn’t it nix?
It is. The current version found on the Steam Deck is based on Arch Linux.
It is but it is not really workable to use pacman. Each steamos major update breaks all installed packages as it has an immutable root that overwrites anything installed by you.
Most people just use appimages and flatpaks as they are installed on home so they are not overwritten.
That immutability is kind of a strength for what it’s installed on. If pacman is needed, better off using something like EndeavourOS.
I am not complaining. But it ought to have an overlayfs to keep at least /etc/ plus an file that keeps track extra installed packages, to be reinstalled easily.
