Distrobox install (Bazzite / atomic / immutable for some plugins)
How to get distrobox working for anyone who wants to find out without "messing" around
I have bazzite kde, these steps might vary a little depending on distro (fedora based distrobox):1.
distrobox create -n opendeckbox2. open the box's terminal
distrobox enter opendeckbox3. run the install command found on the github (also installs wine)
3.1 If 3 doesn't work download the latest rpm (x86_64 for normal PCs) from opendeck's GitHub. Open DistroShelf and click "Install .rpm Package" and select the rpm you downloaded (you may have to accept some prompts) (This does not install wine, you can run the installation script after to get wine (you may have to uninstall opendeck to do this))
4. run
opendeck5. enable system startup & run in background
6. click Applications in DistroShelf, the 3 dots next to OpenDeck, export App
7. (kde, likely similar in gnome) system settings, autostart, add new, "OpenDeck (on opendeckbox)"
8. (optional, system tray on startup) (kde) menu editor, "OpenDeck (on opendeckbox)", add
--hideclick save show and hide GUI via system tray
Update opendeck
Redo step 2 and 3 of install (not 3.1)NodeJS install
If you like me have a plugin that needs NodeJS, here is how to install1. Enter the distrobox
distrobox enter opendeckbox2. Install fnm
curl -o- https://fnm.vercel.app/install | bash3. Apply changes
source /home/bazziteuser/.bashrc4. Install Node 24 (change if you need a different version, I needed 20.0.0+)
fnm install 245. Reboot your distrobox
distrobox stop opendeckboxnotes about usage
- If you want to use the "Run Commands" button on your streamdeck you will just need to adddistrobox-host-exec - close button may not work on the window but alt+f4 still does (or you can use the system tray)
