Rotation is not supported!

there is an experimental feature (https://youtube.com/watch?v=OxApPDhZn9I), but it does not do the rotation automatically (yet).

There is no appstore?

This script does not install the google-appstore, download the privacy-friedly 'F-Droid' (https://f-droid.org/F-Droid.apk) and / or 'Aurora Store' (https://auroraoss.com/downloads/AuroraStore/), preferably 'nightly'.

This script has to be altered / redone when a new SteamOS 3.7-version ships.

it will be updated if new kernels arrive. -> feel free to offer ideas how the process of getting newest kernel-versions and according header-files can be automatized.

error: no net after installation?!?

./netrestore.sh

Background

script build on top of https://github.com/ryanrudolfoba/SteamOS-Waydroid-Installer (letting dkms compile the binder-module for this kernel on your machine / not predelivering pre-fabricated kernel-modules out of security-reasons)
