To exit the program, hit Q on keyboard.Ĥ) Now everything on the container side is done, simply call exit to exit the container to go back to the original SteamOS, then use distrobox stop mybox to shut down the container.ĥ) As a decorative process, create a new appearance Profile in Konsole under -> ->. First time launch requires you to put in your Spotify account and password. After the installation is done, you can check by simply calling ncspot. The second line will take a while because it actually builds the program on command.
Follow this document to install it or the commands below.Įcho "export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin:$HOME/.local/podman/bin" > $HOME/.bashrcĢ) Create and enter an Arch Linux container distrobox create -i archlinux -n myboxĪfter distrobox finishes its installing necessary packages, you should be able to see before your typing cursor instead of meaning you are now in the container.ģ) In the container, install yay and ncspot AUR package sudo pacman -S -needed git base-devel I installed ncspot in a separate Linux container because I didn't want to mess with the SteamOS original dependencies. If this interests you, below I demonstrate the steps I used to get this program working.Ġ) Go into desktop mode and open Konsole as most of the tools are in command line In desktop mode, when I inspect in the Resource Monitor while playing the same music, Spotify flatpak uses collectively 555 MiB memory, whereas ncspot only uses 58.8 MiB memory and 96% less CPU resource. This program responds much faster than the Flatpak app and works well with MusicControl in Decky plugin framework too.Īnother advantage of this program is it's less resource consuming. I was able to attach it to the gaming mode and launch it from there, while having the keybinds mapped to the machine face buttons and trackpads. Installing it uses a little work on Desktop mode, but the end result is satisfying. It is a third-party Spotify player with a terminal UI.
Therefore, I investigated in a fantastic alternative ncspot. As you might have known, the app installed on Discover store is not optimized in gaming mode. Hello Steam Deck community, I would like to share an alternative to the Spotify Flatpak.
