Hey folks I’ve been a Fedora workstation user for some time now and love the experience. I should have switched from Windows to Linux sooner. I have a small question today. I bought a Steam deck a while back for gaming on the go. Nice device that gives me tons of fun. I would like to use the little handheld as a backup device for urgent work matters. I know the Steam Deck isn’t suitable for that, but I’d like to get a bit more out of the device than just gaming.

I was thinking of flashing a USB drive with a Tails OS install and using that as a backup workstation when I don’t have my laptop with me. I wanted to ask if it would be possible to use Tails OS on the Steam deck. Or if any of you know of another alternative for what I’m looking for.

Many thanks in advance.

    While I’m a fan of Kali, some work environments see anything Kali related and go full “zomg! WTF!” Mode. Even in less restrictive environments, it’s often easier to just go with the flow and avoid making life harder for the security folks, without a good reason.

      Absolutely agreed, which is another reason they may not like Tails, either. It doesn’t exactly have the friendliest reputation among businesses.

        Horseshit. Your security team is full of idoits if they dont like TAILS. Its built to be secure

            Like cancer patients? Or people looking at cat pictures?

            Seriously most Tor traffic is people browsing Facebook.

              Weeeeeellll that and all the pedos, and people using the markets (which tbh I think isn’t that big a deal, the markets I mean of course), but yeah sure it’s the facebook lol.

                It mostly is Facebook. That’s the point. You’re parroting misinformation.

                    No, some people perceive it as such because of people like you gobbling up misinformation.

                    Theres wayy more illicit content on the clearnet then Tor, but you dont hear people saying “oh that disteo lets you on the internet, its bad”

                    The majority of Tor traffic is people just getting on Facebook, stop pretending it has more illegal content than the rest of the 'net
