How to install extra software, apps and games on SteamOS and Steam Deck
The Steam Deck with SteamOS (and other devices that will ship with SteamOS) use a locked-down filesystem, so installing extra software is a little different. Here's what you need to know in a simple to understand guide.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
Additionally, if someone wants to install multiple pieces of software at once, they can go on packagepicker.co and pick up what they want from the limited pool, the site will then generate a single command to run on the terminal (obligatory disclaimer to always be cautious of random scripts on the internet)
It's conceptually similar to Ninite on Windows

Icewind Dale 2 completable in Infinity Engine remake GemRB, plus Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition now playable
GemRB is a game engine remake of Infinity Engine used in games like Baldur's Gate, Planescape: Torment, Icewind Dale, Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn and Icewind Dale 2.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
I tried #GemRB a couple of years ago but got the impression that it still wasn't a good experience, but still a curious experiment.
The worst part was how unstable it was, causing frequent crashes more often than the original game engines. This would be one of the most desirable traits, improved stability and crash management like you get with #OpenMW (The Morrowind open source engine project).
Has it gotten better? I can't seem to find any recent gameplay or reviews of it.

in reply to Fionnáin • • •I haven't published it yet, I've only just started linkifying it! Combined with other topics, I should have them published within a month from now.
And it was quite a while ago now, so I'm not surprised you're having trouble digging it up.
That said I'm not sure I will publish the fedi's fav NES games.
I can re-toot some of my notes for you?
Fionnáin
in reply to alcinnz • • •no that's OK if you'll be publishing the links, but thanks for the offer. No need to go rooting around. But if you're not publishing then I'd love to have a wee look.
Not as worried about the favourite NES games, that's just for fun. But interested in how your program holds up to an 8-bit machine. I've been trying to scale back my programs recently and wondering if I need to limit my hardware to really set a boundary for myself.
alcinnz
in reply to Fionnáin • • •@ephemeral The tl;dr; is that I reason that a web browser could be implemented largely using hardware designed for parsing & serializing data, basically variations upon memory circuits.
What little arithmetic processing that leaves would more than fit in a 6502-era computer. I explored a design which had more memory (and a barrel shifter), but is otherwise very comparable!
Then there's the question of GPUs... What we have now is more than a browser needs, what we had then is less than desired.
Fionnáin
in reply to alcinnz • • •yeah I did read your post a while back where you talked about a kind of 'golden age' in the early 2000s, where the hardware was just enough for what was needed. It's interesting to imagine these moments, and how we could sit with them if we could be a little more patient.
I'm doing some work on the development of fiber optic cables at the minute, and it's making me think about how that technology pushed a certain type of hardware and software that couldn't have developed without.
alcinnz
in reply to Fionnáin • • •@ephemeral I love thinking through how things could be different!
I do appreciate solid-state drives, & I can see the value in fully-programable GPUs... Or widespread fiber... I don't think I appreciate much else in computing since mid-2000s...
Cryptography improved, & we have CRDTs & DGGS now. But that's software!
Going back to 1980s meanwhile, I think (if your software supported that hardware) most people would probably complain about the limited memory before the limited CPU!
Fionnáin
in reply to alcinnz • • •that's fair. It's hard to imagine what people might think in that hypothetical. Maybe 'the web' would have remained a bunch of computers tethered together at CERN and a mild curiosity for people who read encyclopaedias.
I don't think I know enough about computing to know what hasn't advanced, and I appreciate your thoughts there.
And I guess lot of the fiber that affected the day-to-day was already rolled out in the late 90s, so even that predates your timeline.
