Linux
Tux (Linux).png
Type Operating systems


Due to the overlap with the technical and open source communities, the majority of the emulators have a Linux version available. With the success of Steam Deck, native Linux versions are in demand.

Use EmuDeck which is an installation script that helps you get started with emulation on the Steam Deck. It is not an all in one solution like some other software. Instead, it strives to provide the best possible official options to you, set up and ready to go.

View the Linux guide for emulators for Distro specific instructions.
