<br/>
|

**Linux Desktop** (after the BETA period)
|

<br/>
|
||||
**SteamOS Device** (after the BETA period)

## What does it mean to be "tailored for the Steam Deck"?
|
||||
It means that all the configurations are ready to go and tweaked to get the best graphics and performance on the Deck without having the hassle of choosing, installing and configuring tons of emulators: just put your games in the roms folder, provide your own bioses and start your games.
|
||||
### RetroDECK is tailored to the Steam Deck during the BETA period.
|
||||
The goal is tha tall the configurations are ready to go and tweaked to get the best graphics and performance on the Deck without having the hassle of choosing, installing and configuring tons of emulators: just put your ROMS & BIOSes in the corresponding folders and start your games.
|
||||
|
||||
## Do I have to partition my disk to install it?
|
||||
No partitioning or formatting is required. RetroDECK (differently from AmberELEC, Batocera and others) comes as a flatpak: just install it as any other application and launch it from your desktop or Steam library. You still retain the ability to return to SteamOS by pressing the Steam button or opening the Quick Access menu while using RetroDECK.
|
||||
# Short FAQ
