Thank you for trying WASD. This is a labor of love.
I used Grok to make the build pipeline for WASD, the Install WASD window, and the WASD Look app, as well as much of the artwork. Many of the wallpapers are my own amateur photography.
WASD Look is where the loading screen, the login screen, and the desktop picture can be changed later.
WASD is a gaming system based on Bazzite. It does not include Waydroid. Steam is here, and so are Discord, OBS Studio, and Heroic.

The project
WASD is for playing games on a PC. It is a Linux desktop with Steam ready, and with the programs a gaming setup tends to need. Bazzite is the system underneath. Waydroid is left out, so this is not an Android setup. The desktop is KDE.
Steam, Discord, OBS Studio, and Heroic are installed. Brave, Element, and Bottles are there too, along with tools for game audio, a mouse, lights, and the GPU. VLC, GIMP, and Bitwarden can be added later. They are not part of the disc.
There are two downloads. AMD and Intel is the one for most PCs. NVIDIA is the one for GeForce cards. Pick the one that matches the graphics card. The page How to make a bootable USB is how the file gets onto a stick.
I like photography. A lot of the wallpapers are photographs I took. The loading screens and the login screens are pictures made for WASD. Install WASD and WASD Look is where those pictures are chosen, and where a games drive is explained.
A Windows install on a second drive can stay. The PC starts WASD. The other system is started from the firmware boot menu. The games themselves can stay on their own drive, mounted at /games, and a later install of WASD can use that drive again.
Updates come as a new image of the whole system, the way Bazzite does it. Questions, bugs, and contributions go to GitHub. There is no support email.
