✅ installing .Net on steam deck
I’m trying to install .net on steam deck so I can run a few different applications but when install it the applications still say it’s not installed. Does anyone know why or how to fix this?

You can just compile it so it's self contained and doesn't require dotnet runtime to be installed
i have no clue what that means. Im not great at this stuff
It means that you can share and run your program without the people or devices you share it with to install any runtimes
Meaning no need to install dotnet
so how do i do this?
What IDE do you use
And what OS does your steam deck run on
steamos is a version of arch im pretty sure
then you can only port console apps

How did you install .net @Caden?
I personally would use https://distrobox.it/
Distrobox
Use any linux distribution inside your terminal.
Put your editor/IDE inside the same box
Not true
Avalonia works on Linux just fine
Microsoft’s script
And are you trying to run a .net app or build one?
Run
Hm
Well I would still use distrobox here
SteamOS is... fiddly for stuff like that
Alright I’ll try it thanks
It defaults to a Fedora image, so follow the directions for that
so i installed .net under unbuntu and now it isnt saying you need to install .net but now i get this

Yes I created the box. Then I went to the page on .net to install .net for fedora
