Installation

Use pmbootstrap to build your own installation image.

At the moment, only installing postmarketOS to SD card is supported. Installing pmOS to the NVMe drive in the Steam Deck will wipe existing SteamOS partitions, and hasn't been tested.

$ pmbootstrap init
$ pmbootstrap install --sdcard /path/to/sdcard

To boot the SD card, the boot option menu can be reached by holding down the Vol- button while pressing the power button.

Known issues

A list of known issues can be found in the pmaports repository. Notably, there's a full disk encryption quirk where the boot password dialog is shown sideways, but it's still usable otherwise with no functionality lost.
