Downloads are hosted at SteamFork.org and updates are available OTA. A download link to the latest installation ISO can be found below.

| Manufacturer | Device | CPU / Architecture | Known Issues |
|---|---|---|---|
| Atari | VCS | AMD Ryzen R1606G | None |
| AYANEO | Air / Air Pro | Amd Ryzen 5 5560U / AMD Ryzen 7 5825U | EDID bug sometimes prevents display from working on boot (sleep/resume to correct), and breaks GPU performance mode. |
| AYANEO | Air Plus | Amd Ryzen 7 6800U | None |
| AYANEO | AYANEO 2S | Amd Ryzen 7 7840U | Must enable sleep in firmware1. |
| AYANEO | Flip KB | Amd Ryzen 7 7840U | Must enable sleep in firmware1. Touch input does not work yet. |
| Ayn | Loki Max | Amd Ryzen 7 6800U | None |
Note
1 New AMD based devices from Ayaneo do not support sleep due to an incorrect firmware setting. This setting is locked down and must be enabled using a third party helper. Follow the process from @ChimeraOS to enable sleep [ here ].
For tdp management, switch to desktop mode and then install Decky Loader and Simple Decky TDP.
| Source | Installation URL |
|---|---|
| Decky Loader | curl -L https://github.com/SteamDeckHomebrew/decky-installer/releases/latest/download/install_release.sh | sh |
| Simple Decky TDP | curl -L https://github.com/SteamFork/SimpleDeckyTDP/raw/main/install.sh | sh |
Like any Linux distribution, this project is not the work of one person. It is the work of many persons all over the world who have developed the open source bits without which this project could not exist. Special thanks to Valve for providing SteamOS, HoloISO which this project is based upon, ShadowBlip, JELOS, ChimeraOS, and developers and contributors all across the open source community.
This distribution is made available for myself and others who may want to use it, however it is provided as-is. Bug fix and feature PRs are always welcome.
This project utilizes sources from SteamOS (release repositories), the unofficial Valve source repo, and AUR.
