We're going to show you how to do a full installation to the SSD, as well as how to boot to Windows from a microSD card. Windows isn't perfect on the Steam Deck, but installing the OS (or booting from it with a microSD card) can help turn the Steam Deck into a laptop replacement. USB thumb drive with at least 32GB of space If you are interested in handling your URI scheme within a local application on Windows, there's a question covering that already.UHS-1 microSD card with at least 32GB of space Thus, you should look into the documentation of the client application that should understand your URIs, and search for the APIs required to implement your functionality. A third example are tel URIs, which reference telephone numbers and are not directly mapped to a specific application, but also usually not handled by the browser. While steam is used using OS-level features and a local client, http is usually completely handled by the browser. http, as a different example, is used to reference content on a specific host. Its URIs thus somehow reference the locally installed steam client. Steam, for instance, uses its schema through OS-level handlers for things like starting games or controlling the steam client through the browser. If in doubt, ask on their mailing list.įor the technical implementation, how to implement support for a URI Scheme is heavily application-dependent. This will make sure that your scheme does not collide with other well-behaved applications. If you plan to use such a scheme, I highly encourage you to read it, at least Section 2.8.
Thus, these prefixes are the first part of a Uniform Resource Identifier.īig companies as Valve in the case of steam seem to use URI Schemes quite excessively, without really following RFC 4395. These prefixes are called URI Schemes and are introduced to allow referencing things across applications.
