Friend of mine bought a refurbished OLED model, it’s on its way and I wanted to provide them with some links so that they can have a smooth setup and options / ideas of what they can do on the Deck, I’m thinking of sending them the following :
- https://www.protondb.com/ for checking game compatibility
- https://www.emudeck.com/ and
- https://retrodeck.net/ for emulation i’ll just let them choose for themselves
- https://lutris.net/ and
- https://heroicgameslauncher.com/ for games not on steam
- https://decky.xyz/ for plugins and whatnot
Do you guys have other suggestions? They like to tinker so even more obscure stuff is welcome!
Forgot to read the pinned post my apologies for the redundant post

That was going to be my first suggestion, but I see you beat me to it.
That post hasn’t been updated in some years though, so this post could be a worthwhile chance to discuss new resources that should be added.
Wait, which pinned post? I only see one about games we’ve been playing and one about refurb oled models.
Here’s the sopuli link to it.
The original poster of it was a lemmy.world user, and I’ve heard reports of some Lemmy instances having federation issues with .world lately. If you’re instance is one of those having issues, you may not be able to see the post locally, but I’m not sure on the full details.
Weird, I can see the post with votes, comments and everything. But it doesn’t show up in the pinned posts on the community. Thanks for the link, I’ll share with a friend who just got one for her birthday :)
I’ll try unpinning and repining it, maybe that will fix it.
Doesn’t seem to have changed anything. Could be an issue with Sync, which was originally designed for Reddit which limited pins per subreddit to 2.
- Get a USB-C flash drive for system reinstalls or flashing a new distro.
- Look into handheld-oriented distros like Bazzite, Nobara, and CachyOS (there’s others, too).
- Consider a screen protector.
- Look into getting a Deck Lifesaver or printing one yourself.
