pikdum's steam deck tools

Notice: Recently swapped Vortex install method from STL to pikdum/vortex-linux.
This is a breaking change, so you'll need to uninstall + reinstall.
It's also completely new, so there might be bugs.

what is this

a collection of steam deck tools and scripts to help automate some things, starting with installing vortex

install

1. right click and save as this install.desktop link
2. go to downloads folder and double click to run it

vortex

after installing, you should have a shortcut on the desktop to install vortex

this will:

0. install SteamLinuxRuntime Sniper
1. install pikdum/vortex-linux
2. use ./vortex-linux to set up vortex
3. add a 'Skyrim Post-Deploy' shortcut to desktop
   • needs to be run every time after you change mods in Vortex
   • also adds a 'Fallout 4 Post-Deploy'
4. map J: to internal games and K: to sd card games
   • E: is the sd card

after modding, run games normally through game mode rather than launching through vortex
