Steam Deck experience on GPD Win 4 with Fedora Linux
I tried other gaming oriented Linux distributions and found them all to be… well, to be frank, bloated. I don’t need Lutris preinstalled, I don’t use it. Just like I don’t need 20 other tools or launchers or managers installed, with services running and draining my battery. Furthermore, I love the ability to simply “tab out” of my steam gamescope and enjoy full desktop environment.
And so I’ve come to the conclusion, that the best thing I can do is to simply start from scratch. I’ve got a little video showcasing what my install looks like, the below is the minimum you’d need to take care of to get something similar.
Note that this is about standard rpm based Fedora - NOT Atomic Fedora (NOT Silverblue/Kinoite/etc)
