How to install Decker on Linux
I've seen lots of people struggle to run popular multimedia platform Decker on Linux, due to not knowing how to compile from the source code. So what better way to fix that than to make a deck that explains it!

As a heads up since I've seen a few people ask about it, if you're getting a continuous clicking noise from Decker, that seems to be a bug in certain versions of SDL2. https://itch.io/t/5229926/decker-makes-constant-clicking-sound-on-one-of-my-comp...
Fixing it is likely up to your Linux distro in terms of updating to a newer version of SDL2 that fixes the bug, but in the meantime starting Decker from the command line with 'decker --no-audio' should disable audio and stop it bothering you at least.
For those interested, make decker, make lilt, and sudo make install can be combined into the one-liner sudo make decker lilt install. This is because make can take more than one target(e.g. "decker", "lilt", and "install" in this case). However, install requires sudo, hence the sudo at the beginning.
I never noticed xdg-install.sh, neat! You don't need sudo for it though. Just ./xdg-install.sh will install it for your user.
On Steam Deck I found it inconvenient to get a build system because that requires some extra steps to make the image mutable, that I worry an update will wipe out, so I added the Windows version instead and set it to use Proton.
thanks for making this i just ditched windows entirely so this is very timely for me!
