SteamFork is a project to create an immutable Linux distribution that is as SteamOS like as possible without sacrificing device compatibility.
Visit the SteamFork Organization root for basic information and usage instructions:
- Fully automated CI/CD based releases triggered by new release tags.
- Signed package repositories.
- Minimal changes from upstream SteamOS for compatibility.
- Simplified build process as described below.
Install SteamFork using the release or minimal image onto a PC or in a virtual machine. Building the OS requires ~20GB of free space. To install a minimal SteamFork instance using the minimal image, boot the image and then install using the steamfork-installer tool.
Ex. steamfork-installer --drive /dev/sda --username builder --password SteamFork --root_password SteamFork
Log in as your user and perform the following steps to configure the OS for building:
- Clone the SteamFork distribution repository:
git clone https://github.com/SteamFork/distribution.git - Build SteamFork:
cd distribution && ./build-image.sh rel
Optional:
- Enable SSH for remote access:
sudo steamos-readonly disable && sudo systemctl enable sshd
