You’ll also need several tools and firmware drivers that may take a while to get sorted.

Barely anything works. Many devices do not have support. This is more of a ‘look what i can do!’ thing as of right now. This can easily wipe your steamos install if you are not careful. Part of the macOS install is formatting a storage device of your choosing. If you choose the internal storage of the steam deck, it will be wiped,” said the developer.
