EmulationStation is a graphical and themeable emulator front-end created by Aloshi around 2012. Their original work has been the foundation for the UX of many of our favorite gaming focused projects over the last decade and this document aims to capture a small bit of that history. If you see any errors please let me know in the comments below and I will gladly update this document.

These are manual instructions on enabling SSH access on your Steam Deck, adding public key authentication, and removing the need for a sudo password for the main user (deck).

This gist assumes the following:

you have a Steam Deck
you have a home PC with access to a Linux shell that can ssh, ssh-keygen, and ssh-copy-id
your Steam Deck and home PC are on the same local network, with standard SSH traffic (tcp/22) allowed over that network from the PC to the Steam Deck

NOTE: @crackelf on reddit mentions that steamOS updates blow away everything other than /home, which may have the following effects:

removing the systemd config for sshd.service, which would prevent the service from automatically starting on boot
removing the sudoers.d config, which would reenable passwords for sudo

How to build wine2.9 staging which supports Blizzard's Overwatch

Overview

gamax92's wine repo has the DirectX11 overwatch patches already applied. We need to build this version of Wine with WOW64 support. That is, the 64-bit version of wine which also supports 32-bit Windows programs. In so many words: if your CPU is 32-bit only, don't bother and you couldn't run Overwatch anyway.

Building wine with WOW64 support requires boostrapping the final build. The three stages look like:

Build the 64-bit version of wine (pass --enable-win64 to ./configure)

A week ago I was CC'd in on a thread about Linux packaging, and how to avoid doing it the wrong way (i.e. RPM, Deb, etc.). I've always used MojoSetup and I've never forced distributions to do any additional work, but this is still a new concept to a lot of people. Additionally, Amos suggested that I expand on Itch's FNA appendix, so here's a guide on how I package my games.

This is a bit of an expansion on my MAGFest 2016 presentation, which you can find here:

I would recommend looking at that first! After that, read on...
