CachyOS is an arch based distro like Steam OS. I use the handheld version, so we may have similar experiences trying to run xbplay

I don’t have a steam deck, but on my LeGo I am using XBplay that connects remotely to my Xbox and that’s how I’ve been game-passing. (Running Cachy, btw)

Honestly this is how my parents(‘ generation) got me into gaming, pre-NES, because I was playing their games on Atari and Intellivision. I don’t know if it was the NES’s marketing or what that made people associate video games = for kids, but they were all in their 20s at the time and they had a blast with that stuff. Actually now that I think about it my grandma was mean at Burger Time back in the day.
