Steam Deck
A place to discuss and support all things Steam Deck.
Replacement for r/steamdeck_linux.
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:
- Follow the rules of Sopuli
- Posts must be related to the Steam Deck in an obvious way.
- No piracy, there are other communities for that.
- Discussion of emulators are allowed, but no discussion on how to illegally acquire ROMs.
- This is a place of civil discussion, no trolling.
- Have fun.
Shit like that is making me regret my switch a lot
I wasn't able to follow this guide it was to complicated
Also I thought league of linux moved to lemmy
What part did you get stuck on?
I wasn't sure if I did step 3 or 4 correctly a d when I did step 5 it failed.
How did you do step 3 and 4, and how did you know step 5 failed?
On step 3 I went to /etc/pacman.conf and I couldnt find [multilib] I could only find [multilib-rel]. So I added '[multilib] Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist' like the guide said. Then I did sudo pacman -Syu and the update failed.
holo-rel is up to date core-rel is up to date extra-rel is up to date community-rel is up to date multilib-rel is up to date multilib.db failed to download error: failed retrieving file 'multilib.db' from steamdeck-packages.steamos.cloud : The requested URL returned error: 404 error: failed to synchronize all databases (failed to retrieve some files)
This is my pacman.conf file and at the bottom is the line I added for multilib.
Then after that I went through the steps and got to installing lutris. Which gave me this error for every package required. Do you want to delete it? [Y/n] y error: python-lxml: signature from "Felix Yan " is unknown trust :: File /var/cache/pacman/pkg/python-lxml-4.9.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst is corrupted (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)). Do you want to delete it? [Y/n] ^C
Thank you for the great logs and very thorough reply! Here's what I'd do!

Since the [multilib-rel] section is already there, I'd just make sure that's uncommented. I wouldn't add the [multilib] section. Seems like that could be a typo perhaps. In the upstream Arch mirrors, it's [multilib], so they probably got it mixed up. If this works, I'd write the author of this guide to have them correct it.

Sounds like the PGP keys are either not synced or out-of-date. Assuming the Deck works like upstream Arch, you should be able to run:
pacman-key --init
pacman-key --populate
After this, try your pacman command again.

Hope this works! Let me know if you run into any more friction and I'm happy to help!
It works last time I checked, which was a few months ago.
You could, but then you would be playing League.
Riot games on Linux are either a pain in the backside, or don't work as far as I've seen. A bit disappointing IMO
I've been playing lol for years on linux.
I used Fedora for 6 months and only had issues because of Riot Games (pushing bad updates that break Linux/Lutris). Linux itself was perfect
