The release of AM 9.8.1 introduces compatibility with Steam Deck and SteamOS, allowing users to install and manage applications locally in a rootless environment. This update includes a revised install script that places the "am" link in the user's HOME directory, facilitating easier access and usage. Notable updates and features include:
- The removal of desktop files for CLI AppImages.
- The addition of several new applications, including lazygit, delta, taskwarrior, and vicut.
- Updates to the Italian language settings and improvements to shell builtins.
- Fixes to the main-index point and enhancements to user options within the application.
- An update of the ppsspp emulator to its latest version.
- The removal of AppDir and squashfs-root directories to streamline installation processes.
- The introduction of new features, such as gpu-screen-recorder and transmission-qt.
The adaptation of AM for SteamOS addresses the restriction preventing access to /usr/local by configuring AM to operate exclusively in AppMan mode, thus allowing local management of applications without root access. The installation link is designed to be easily accessible through the command line.
Additionally, the update acknowledges new contributors, showcasing community involvement in the development process.
This version aims to enhance user experience on the Steam Deck platform while ensuring a seamless integration of new applications and features, demonstrating the ongoing commitment to improving the AM suite. Future updates could further expand support for additional applications and refine user interface elements based on user feedback
