# What devices/systems does RetroDECK currently support? # What devices and OS does RetroDECK currently support?
RetroDECK currently officially supports two systems: RetroDECK currently only works on x86_64 architecture.
- Steam Deck ## Steam Deck
- Linux Desktop
## Steam Deck LCD/OLED RetroDECK was built for the Steam Deck in mind and started as a project towards that device.
RetroDECK was built for the Steam Deck in mind.
### Other SteamOS devices
SteamOS the operative system will always be supported but as of today there are no other officialy released devices with SteamOS other the Valve's Steam Deck lineup.
## Linux Desktop ## Linux Desktop
It is working, but the user experience might not be that great it as we want it to be just yet. It works, but RetroDECK is still reliant on Steam Input for advanced hotkeys.
You will also need to manually configure the input to match your desktop and might need to tweak more settings. For the best experience we recommend a distribution that has built in Game Mode like Valves SteamOS, Bazzite, ChimeraOS and so forth.
If you want to try it make sure that your distribution has flatpak support (else you will need to install it). Game Mode fixes several Steam issues that are present in standard Linux Desktop such as the radials are rendered correctly on screen.
### Will you support other Linux distribution methods such as Snap or AppImage? ## Other x86_64 Linux Handhelds / Devices
It's not in our roadmap yet as now the entire buildsystem is based on the flatpak-build that builds the software via the flatpak manifest. Our community is highly creative and likes putting RetroDECK on new devices.
In the past we evaluated to migrate to **Buildstream** (or similar solutions) and build on to multiple output formats.
But the team is not large enough to migrate and maintain other distribution methods, so we prefer to focus our effort on Flatpak only. Many devices are emulating a Playstation, Steam Deck or Xbox controller this it should work out of the box and be able to hook into that corresponding Steam Input Layout.
If someone with knowledge and passion wishes to help us with migrating to a solution and help us maintain it, we are open for a discussion.
### Putting Linux on Windows Gaming Device and running RetroDECK If it does not show up as any known input, The RetroDECK Team might not have been able to create a input profile for a new device as it needs to be bought by the team to add it.
We have user confirmation that RetroDECK does work on the other handhelds. If you own a device that has custom inputs and want to create a Steam Input profile for it, please get it touch with the Team and so we can ship it in a later update.
Our community is highly creative and likes putting RetroDECK on new things like Legion Go and ROG Ally. ### Installing Linux & RetroDECK on x86_64 Windows Handelds

The idea of a widely accepted open-source architecture is exiting at least. It would be a major undertaking but one day in the far-off future it could be possible as the platform matures and more systems gets compatibility.
