## steam-deck-arch-chroot.txt
## So you want to use stuff like 'tmux' and 'lolcat' on the Steam Deck, but they haven't been included in the base OS?
# One way to do it is this.
# 1. setup a chroot environment so there is a file structure in which Pacman can download/unpack packages and their dependencies.
# 2. don't use it as a chroot environment; rather, add the various /bin directories inside it to your $PATH, and create an /etc/ld.so.conf.d/deck-local-arch.conf to permit the bins to find the libs they need.

mkdir -p ~/.local/packer
cd ~/.local
#these steps are required, or else the pacstrap will fail with 'marginal trust' errors
pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring
pacman-key --populate archlinux
