How to install Homebrew package manager on 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
3. Set a password (needed for sudo access):

   passwd

Installing Unity Mod Manager into Pathfinder: Kingmaker and Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous on Steam Deck

n.b. These are the steps that worked for me. I can't guarantee that they'll work for you, but I don't have any reason to believe they won't. I tested this process on the GOG version of Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous installed via Heroic Games Launcher. If you test it and find that different steps are needed, please comment below!

1. Install the Pathfinder game of your choice, via Steam or otherwise. Make sure you note down the install location of the game - in my case I installed it to the SD card via Heroic, so it ended up in /run/media/mmcblk0p1/Heroic/Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous/.
2. In Desktop mode, download Unity Mod Manager and extract it wherever you like. I personally put it in /home/deck/Games/Unity Mod Manager/.
3. In Steam, still in Desktop mode, navigate to Library > Add A Game > Add a Non-Steam Game > Browse and select UnityModMan

Building and using mesa for development and testing

This explains how to build mesa from source, and how to use the custom built mesa to run some apps and games, without needing to replace the mesa libraries that your operating system runs on.

Let's assume that you are using an x86_64 system.
