Folding Forum

Hi! I'm incredibly new to folding, so I installed it on the most powerful device I have. I followed the AUR tutorial to the letter. My GPU is reconized, and says Ready, but it's waiting for an FAHCore Update. I've attached my log.

At first glance I'd say is a permission issue.

But more impotantly: I doubt a Steam deck is suitable for Folding at Home. The software stresses the hardware way more than even modern games, especially GPUs (CPU usage for folding can be tuned better), and requires proper cooling. That is also why folding on laptops can be tricky, even on gaming laptops with above average cooling. The deck would really become steamy if you got folding running...
