Custom System Scripts

SteamOS comes with a large number of handy utility scripts located under /usr/bin. These scripts all come from the steamos-customizations package:

  • /usr/bin/steamos-debug
    • Writes a message and optionally shows a message to the splash screen.
  • /usr/bin/steamos-critical
    • Writes a message and optionally shows a message to the splash screen.
  • /usr/bin/steamos-emergency
    • Writes a message and optionally shows a message to the splash screen.
  • /usr/bin/steamos-error
    • Writes a message and optionally shows a message to the splash screen.

Misc System Management

  • /usr/bin/gpd-xorg-rotation-config
    • Writes /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-rotation-quirk.conf if device type equals certain specs, otherwise it deletes the file.
