Add DeckyLoader source code inside SFP for users outside of SteamOS. (Windows/MacOS/Linux)

It's a good time to say if Deckyloader and SFP could work togethers to make them works on Windows for plugins and themes on big-picture. I guess it's could be a trick.

Massively seconded, this would be absolutely fantastic if SFP could allow Decky Loader support on Windows. Would be absolutely amazing for Steam Deck users on Windows.

Big picture theming is definitely desirable so I would love to add this into SFP, hadn't heard of deckyloader until this post

Deckyloader is such a modloader for Steam and mostly for Steam Deck devices based on SteamOS 3 with Big picture support and compatible with plugins and themes. If your patcher seem work well idk why Decky team was not calling you to fix their problem.

Can someone link some example plugin and theme that you would want to use so I can get an idea of what they look like?

They have their own website including the link to their github on this link https://deckbrew.xyz
It's simple to use because they use directly an plugin repo inside their modloader.

With the latest beta of Steam I think this may be the way forward in some fashion. I just confirmed that the method used by DeckyLoader does work on Windows as well (launching Steam with -cef-enable-debugging).

So now that the entire Steam client (including the friends list and library) is unified under the single CEF banner it would make sense for either DeckyLoader to change their development plans to include desktop OS support or for SFP or some other application to integrate support in a way that allows preexisting Decky plugins and themes to work on those OSes.
