GlosSI have your cake an fuck sony edition

This is the last dev-snapshot from Dec. 2023 / Jan. 2024.
Expect things to be unfinished and/or broken.

I dedicate this build to the godawful SteamInput support of the newly released God of War: Ragnarök

I use the Deck as my main HTPC nowadays, and SteamInput wouldn't work right for GoW. (SteamInput is required when using remote-play)
Specifically, there is no way to enable Mouse-Like Joysticks on the Trackpads and Mouse-Input is borked as well.
