I already have decky loader installed... and I don't think Arch has a mode optimized for running on a gaming handheld like Steam Deck? I know there is at least one alternative distro (Bazzite) optimized for handhelds, not sure if there are others. Also installing vanilla Arch sounds like a PITA tbh.

I'm friends with her bandmate Matt and way back in 2012 we developed custom hardware and software for doing automated circuit bent visuals using old game consoles which he used for The Glowing Stars and other local bands: www.eliotlash.com/works/trigge...

So The Glowing Stars were an 8-bit rock band and part of the SF Bay Area chiptune scene, using a Gameboy as one of the instruments. You can find their music here: theglowingstars.bandcamp.com 2/

Great episode! I learned a lot of interesting things about Lizzie. I still need to check out Teens in Trouble, but I'm a huge fan of her old band The Glowing Stars. She briefly mentioned them on the pod but didn't explain the concept of the band which I think pod listeners would enjoy. 1/
