can Windows work with ext4 if it's already there? You'd think, since Linux is so big in the server space and Windows still does server stuff, but I don't know. Presumably you could plug in an SD card, have SteamOS format it, then put it in your other computer and add things. I mean, you can download games, flatpaks etc., and presumably there are save game files and so on.ĭoes SteamOS have to format the SD cards? Well, if you were a Windows user I guess for practical purposes because SteamOS wants them to be ext4, and I doubt Windows will format something to ext4.
It's not like no files can be added or changed. Since SteamOS would have to format microSD cards, I imagine you can't just put files on your card either. Quoting: CyborgZeta Quoting: Liam Dawe Quoting: CyborgZetaCan't you just connect the Deck to a PC using USB and transfer files that way?Tried that, no dice.That's really strange, but I guess it's because of the immutable filesystem. Credit to x_wing and g000h in our comments. However, if you're not afraid of the terminal and Python (you can do this on Windows too): make a folder where you want stuff to be ready to transfer, then run this command inside that folder (Python 3): python -m rver 5555 then on your Steam Deck open a browser to your host machine local IP () and you can then see and grab files that way too.
