MATLAB on the Steam Deck
Toshi’s pick this week is MATLAB on the Steam Deck from Reddit by Mindless_Egg7324
A recent Reddit post showed something unexpected and fun: a user successfully installed MATLAB on a Steam Deck, and the community loved it—nearly 500 upvotes and an entire thread of enthusiastic reactions.
The Steam Deck runs SteamOS, which is based on Arch Linux. While MATLAB officially supports a set of validated Linux distributions—including Ubuntu, Debian, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop/Server—Arch Linux and SteamOS aren’t on the official support list.
That makes this achievement even more interesting. It works—not because it’s a standard setup, but because someone decided to try it anyway.
This is obviously not practical, but the community had a lot of fun praising the audacity of the OP and cracking jokes on what they might do with it.
The comments captured that feeling:
The excitement came from seeing MATLAB in a completely unexpected place—a gaming handheld, running a non‑standard Linux distro.
It’s a great reminder of how inventive the community can be.
