[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (1 child) I assume this is some joke about Steam OS I'm not understanding. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] dankm@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 months ago .. no. I was dead serious about trying FreeBSD on the Steamdeck. FreeBSD supports almost all mainstream hardware you'd see on a normal desktop. Figured it'd be similar for the steamdeck. So now my weekend project is to try out booting FreeBSD 16 off a USB stick on my steamdeck. After a small amount of duckduckgoing I found that it somewhat works already. GPU hardware is detected but can't initialize. That's a reasonable starting point for someone like me who isn't afraid of kernel-level code :/ permalink fedilink source parent
