Chaos Computer Club - recent audio-only feed

The **Steam Deck** has revolutionized the gaming handheld market. With the Linux-based immutable **SteamOS**, **Valve** has fostered an **active community** developing mods and alternative systems for this platform. **Other manufacturers** distribute **Windows-based** mobile consoles. However, time and time again it has been shown that **they lag behind Linux** in terms of software support. But **how easy** is it to **bring** a Linux distribution, say **openSUSE**, to the **Steam Deck**? In this talk, a **prototype** based on **openSUSE's** open technologies and infrastructure will be presented, which is **already** (almost) fully **functional** on the Steam Deck and many other devices. What are the **advantages** of this and comparable systems? Are there any disadvantages? Why will **YOU** personally want to use such a **system**? And why is **openSUSE** a perfect basis for this and many other device classes? The answers to these and many other questions are waiting for you! So **come along**!
