Valve's Steam Deck is sold as a video game console, but could it also be the best new tool for robotics development? Or is it just a gimmick?💬 Join the disc...
Yeah, although I don’t like this approach. Using containers seems to be the best choice here. In this way you can keep the default/custom Steam bindings, which is very useful. And you don’t have the audio, sleep, OS or battery problems they talk in the video. I would argue that “desktop use” is not the best use for a Steam Deck, but more as a field computer.
Any particular instructions you followed to install a container runtime? I don’t own one, but I’ve heard it uses a read only system install that you have to disable to alter system files.
@mjpc13@programming.dev , looks like more folks are getting around to using ROS with Valve’s Steam Deck.

The downside to disable the read only system file is that you will delete any changed file and installed package when you update SteamOS.
I used homebrew to install podman. Since homebrew creates a folder in /home/linuxbrew/ there is no problem with the read only system.
