AM 9.8.1 has been released with support for Steam Deck and SteamOS, enabling users to install and manage applications locally and in a rootless manner while utilizing SteamOS on the Steam Deck. The install script has been revised to accommodate Steam Deck, with the "am" link positioned in the user's HOME directory. Other changes include removing desktop files for CLI AppImages, adding lazygit, delta, taskwarrior, and vicut, updating the Italian language settings, improving shell builtins, fixing the main-index point, enhancing options, updating ppsspp to the latest versions, removing AppDir and squashfs-root directories, and adding gpu-screen-recorder and transmission-qt.
"AM" 9.8.1
Steam Deck / SteamOS support!
SteamOS is configured to prevent the user from accessing /usr/local. "AM" normally uses that directory to install symlinks in $PATH and launchers for the application menu. To solve this issue we have set "AM" to run only in AppMan mode, so that it can install and manage apps locally, and rootless, when osing SteamOS on Steam Deck.
The INSTALL script has also been updated to support Steam Deck. The "
am" link to /opt/am/APP-MANAGER will be placed in the user's HOME directory, in ~/.local/bin, so that it can be used in $PATH, from the command line, along with all other programs.
