So far I've enabled sshd, installed VNC, installed Decky, then decky and VNC got wiped out when I switched to the Preview update channel.
Some things I'm wondering:
1) Poking around, a 'df -l' shows a rather complicated arrangement of mount points. Has anyone done a write up on the overall design of deck steamos that might save me some time trying to reverse engineer how this is all set up? So far I've just poked around looking at the /usr/bin/steamos-* scripts but that's about it (other than installing vnc).
2) I know flatpack is supported, but I think that's just for desktop apps and not for system services? Is there any way to persist /etc config changes, packman installs, etc, through system updates?
3) Where's the main forum for people working on "steamos hacks"? Is it here?
Thanks
