My laptop screen broke, so I figured I could use my as replacement. Didn't want to loose Steam OS, though, it's a gaming device after all.

So I bought a SanDisk SD card for 35€, and used to flash a workstation disk image onto it. Took a few days to understand what packages I need for the full workstation experience, but in the the end the process was surprisingly smooth.

The whole #systemd ecosystem is amazing.

Discoverable partitions, systemd-boot, systemd stub, systemd-homed, #mkosi, etc. make this super easy.🤩

I can't imagine doing this without systemd. I still remember 2010... 😬

@swsnr I really wish systemd would get an initramfs generator feature so we won't need Dracut or Mkinitcpio anymore. They should be obsolete already. I'm currently using Booster*, but it's not seeing much active development.

@triskelion @swsnr building initrds with mkosi is a thing. And what i'd recommend.
