If you have enough disk space available on your Steam Deck, you can now carry out the entire download and installation of Tuxborn via Wabbajack entirely on the Steam Deck. The total space required for this would be ~344GB, though this is made up of both the Installation and the Downloads (which can be deleted once the install is complete and running successfully).
If you do not have enough disk space available, then you will need to run Wabbajack on another system, and then transfer the Installation directory from that other system to your Steam Deck. You can see details on transferring from a Windows system to the Steam Deck [here](https://github.com/Omni-guides/Wabbajack-Modlist-Linux/wiki/SyncToDeck). Likewise, if you have already downloaded Tuxborn on another system and transferred it to the Deck, resume this guide from [Step 3](https://github.com/Omni-guides/Wabbajack-Modlist-Linux/wiki/TuxbornSteamDeckFullInstall.md/#step-3---post-wabbajack-steps).

If Wabbajack is new to you, or you haven't tried to run a Wabbajack Modlist on the deck before, the below process may seem very complicated and a daunting process. Not going to lie, it isn't the easiest thing to do in life, but it is very rewarding once complete!

If you're running this on a Steam Deck, it will assume the desired resolution is 1280x800 (If you are going to be playing while docked, you will have to manually alter the resolution via MO2 in the "Tuxborn - Settings" -> INI Files -> SSEDisplayTweaks.ini file.

Second thing to note, is the time it takes to boot the game. It takes a long, long (long) time to boot the game on Steam Deck. This has only been made worse with some recent changes to SteamOS. It can literally take 7-8 minutes for the game to fully launch on Steam Deck (See [Additional Notes](https://github.com/Omni-guides/Tuxborn/blob/main/TuxbornSteamDeckFullInstall.md#additionals-notes) for some examples of timings).

Anyway, as soon as we have anything that will help reduce this loading time, we will implement it. Running Tuxborn from SDCard will only make this initial load time worse, but it _will get there_, and regardless of internal storage or SD Card, once it's loaded, it will be fine.

Thirdly, there are a series of crashes the first few times you launch the game. This is something to do with running Tuxborn via Proton. Again, we are actively looking into anything we can do to reduce or remove the couple of crashes the first few times you launch Tuxborn.
