Yeah, but with steamOS being immutable you can't install stuff from pacman without unlocking it first.
True. But the only other way I can think of is to extract the Arch packages and add the libs too
$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
, which might end up being more trouble than it's worth because you'd likely need the libraries from libxrandr's dependencies as well. For example addingto .bashrc
I haven't messed around with it much, but I wonder if you could use an overlay like rwfus to install the libs.
Apon your referral, I've read the source files for rwfus.
I believe it would work, however I'd highly recommend against it. If you do try it, use it with the utmost care. It has some flaws; I mean if the warning in
README.md
wasn't obvious enough, lol.
