This game is great! Thanks for the guide
For new linux users, if you get any trouble installing steam from the web, may be bugs or other stuff, install instead the flatpak version
Usually going to the "Software" app. If your steam can't read X folders or Harddrives, download "Flatseal" and give it all permissions
I'm saying this because I did have trouble in fedora until I switched to the Flatpak version
edit: But I haven't tested this guide with flatpak so Idk if everything would work out
That sounds awesome regardless! A model of 8bitdo was my 2nd choice. Be aware in the future that Gulikit also ships with Nintendo layout, but you can buy the buttons and replace them without opening the controller, as it is a feature :)
I want their new controller because it has extra buttons on the back, like the steamdeck, but in general the unit I have has a great soft feeling, the same shape as a XBOX controller but with integrated battery and nice joysticks and overall nice feeling.
It is an autoconfig file
But there is a fork of firefox with that implemented by default called "Librewolf", I don't know if thats made by the same people or not
I started "The Odin Project" in the deck, because the course prompted me to either mess with WSL2 on windows or switch to linux, so the SteamDeck it is :)
I also set up a secondary setup for my girlfriend with it, even tho my initial intention was to use it handheld most of the times, but it has worked out beautifuly, even with dual monitors!
And I use it as a SmartTV tool, I take it from my desk and dock it on the living room

Anyway, In case anyone wants it, you'll probably need to reach out to the Administators of the instance. If you just want to post or be around the place, there you have it, thanks petrescatraian for posting it!
Do you mind if I add this to the Wiki?
I'm staying on this side, but probably switching to a fork like Librewolf
I've previously used Floorp which is feature rich but not polished, and same goes for Zen
Hello! I appreciate your desire to help in here! I was planning on using the Wiki tool from this instance, but I believe there's no way of making edits on it unless you have an account on lemmy.dbzer0.com
If you want, we can have a chat on DMs

Before We Begin
Hello deck-ers, this guide walks you through installing Waydroid, a tool to run Android apps on your Steam Deck. Links are included below for troubleshooting and updates. Enjoy ;)
Step 1: Set Up a Password
Your Steam Deck’s terminal (Konsole) will ask for a password during installation. If you haven’t set one yet:
- Switch to Desktop Mode and open the Konsole app (found in the taskbar or applications menu).
- Type
passwdand press Enter.- Create a password. For simplicity, a 4-digit code like
9876works, but use something stronger if security matters to you, (as it should).
- Note: The password won’t show as you type, this is not a bug.
- Re-enter the password when prompted to confirm.
Why? This password grants temporary "sudo" access to install software.
Step 2: Install Waydroid
Prerequisite: Ensure your Steam Deck is connected to the internet.
Open Konsole (still in Desktop Mode).
Copy and paste these commands one by one, waiting for each to finish:
Command 1 – Download the Installer:
cd ~/ && git clone https://github.com/ryanrudolfoba/steamos-waydroid-installerThis downloads the necessary files to your home folder.
Command 2 – Run the Installer:
cd ~/steamos-waydroid-installer && chmod +x steamos-waydroid-installer.sh && ./steamos-waydroid-installer.shThis makes the script executable and starts the installation.
Wait for the magic to happen!
- The installer sets up Waydroid and applies custom configurations.
- Installation takes ~5 minutes (varies with internet speed).
- When finished, close Konsole and return to Game Mode.
Step 3: Launch Waydroid
- In Game Mode, navigate to your Library > Non-Steam Games.
- Find and launch the script named Android_Waydroid_Cage.sh.
- Waydroid will boot, give it a moment to initialize.
Need to Uninstall?
- Back in Desktop Mode, open Konsole.
- Paste these commands:
This removes Waydroid and its files.cd ~/Android_Waydroid && ./uninstall.sh
Troubleshooting & Tips
- Issues? Check the official GitHub for known bugs, compatibility notes, and updates.
- Keyboard/Mouse Not Working? Some users report needing a Bluetooth or USB input device for setup.
- Performance: Close background apps in Desktop Mode and try again, otherwise I recommend checking opened issues over on github.
Enjoy your Android apps on Steam Deck! 🎮
