Decky Loader Manager

Changes the board

Installs Decky Loader under the user's homebrew folder, adds and enables a root systemd service, and labels the loader binary for SELinux. The Decky install and service are system-wide, not isolated to this manager. It does not change firmware or boot settings. Uninstalling Decky Loader Manager leaves Decky Loader and its service in place; remove Decky with ujust setup-decky uninstall. Use only on a Bazzite image with Steam/Game Mode and systemd support.

Decky Loader Manager installs and manages Decky Loader and its plugins for Steam Game Mode. It displays the system-wide service state and the installed plugins.

Install

Install it from the portal (the Gaming tab), or from a checkout of the repository:

bazzite-console/apps/decky/install.sh                         # the app, its launcher, a menu entry and a Desktop icon
bazzite-console/apps/decky/install.sh --no-desktop-shortcut   # without the Desktop icon
bazzite-console/apps/decky/install.sh --uninstall             # remove it; --purge removes its settings too

The launcher is ~/.local/bin/ps5-decky-manager; the app runs on the suite's shared Python environment.

The window

The header shows the app's state beside its name and a status box under it; Refresh reads again.
