I have to admit though, the camouflage is absolutely gorgeous and I am considering rewrapping entirely in it.

Quoting: ShmerlDoesn't Deck come with KDE? So you can probably pull it from the repo if your set up in not in immutable mode. Unless SteamOS repos don't have such packages?
Disabling read-only is not recommended, and changes would get wiped with OS updates. There's certain ways around it, but I'm not going to be doing any kind of guide or app suggestion that would need people to do it.

Quoting: axredneckImho Flatpak is not very suitable for things like Filelight, e.g. afaik flatpaked apps can't access a folder where flatpaks themselves are installed. I don't use flatpaked file managers for similar reasons.

There might be some cases where this is true, but in this case it works well as shown in the video, especially on Deck where you don't exactly have many writable places by default anyway.

Quoting: bravadomizzouHow does one "Right click on the game in your Steam Library."? When I right click it in the Applications popup, no option shows up that says "Properties". You should also specify that you have to be in desktop mode.
It's right there in the text:

I would rather be wishful and have plenty to be excited about (which there is!), than just negative for no reason :)

Quoting: jo3fisOn a side note I do think this would have been a good opportunity for GOG to do some sort of client or plugin for the deck. Does anyone know if they're doing that? Seems like a big missed opportunity for them.
GOG tell me there's no plans.
