How to install Homebrew package manager on Steam Deck

(See also installing Distroboxm, which is included in SteamOS 3.5 and newer: https://distrobox.it/ )
(See also installing Nix package manager: https://determinate.systems/posts/nix-on-the-steam-deck )

You can install Homebrew (a package manager for macOS and Linux) without disabling the read-only partition with sudo steamos-readonly disable.
The package manager can be used alongside Flatpaks. Some software is only available on Flathub, and some software is only available on Homebrew.

  1. Switch to desktop mode (hold power button until a menu appears, then select "Switch to desktop mode")
  2. Click the logo at the bottom left, go to System, then go to Konsole

Automatically unlock KeePass database with GNOME Keyring

(Tested with KeePassXC on Fedora 25)

By default when using GNOME Keyring you have a keyring that is unlocked when you log in (usually called "Login"). You can make use of that by storing a KeePass database password in this keyring and using it to automatically unlock your KeePass database.

Store the KeePass database password in GNOME Keyring. You'll have to set a label and at least one attribute/value pair. The label is displayed in a GNOME keyring manager (e.g. Seahorse), the attribute/value pair should be a unique identifier because it's needed for the lookup. I suggest to use keepass as attribute and the database name as value (make sure it doesn't contain any spaces).

secret-tool store --label="KeePass <database_name>" keepass <database_name>

Then create a script to launch and immediately unlock your KeePass database.

SSH agent forwarding and screen

When connecting to a remote server via SSH it is often convenient to use SSH agent forwarding so that you don't need a separate keypair on that server for connecting to further servers.

This is enabled by adding the

ForwardAgent yes

option to any of your Host entries in ~/.ssh/config (or alternatively with the -A option). Don't set this option in a wildcard Host * section since any user on the remote server that can bypass file permissions can now als use keys loaded in your SSH agent. So only use this with hosts you trust.

########## SETTINGS
# On startup, lftp executes ~/.lftprc and ~/.lftp/rc. You can place aliases and 'set' commands
# there. Some people prefer to see full protocol debug, use 'debug' to turn the debug on.
# Certain commands and settings take a time interval parameter. It has the format Nx[Nx...], where N is time amount
# (floating point) and x is time unit: d - days, h - hours, m - minutes, s - seconds. Default unit is second. E.g.
# 5h30m or 5.5h. Also the interval can be 'infinity', 'inf', 'never', 'forever' - it means infinite interval. E.g.
# 'sleep forever' or 'set dns:cache-expire never'.
