### Changing the root filesystem after installing Tailscale
This method for installing Tailscale uses [`systemd` system extensions](https://man.archlinux.org/man/systemd-sysext.8.en)
to install files in the otherwise read-only Steam Deck filesystem. A
side-effect is that the `/usr` and `/opt` directories
(and directories like `/bin`, `/lib`, `/lib64`, `/mnt`, and `/sbin`,
that typically link to `/usr` due to [`/usr` merge](https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/TheCaseForTheUsrMerge/)
which SteamOS implements) are read-only while system extensions are active,
*even after running `steamos-readonly disable`*.
If you need to modify files in these directories after installing Tailscale,
run the following commands:
```bash
$ systemd-sysext unmerge
$ steamos-readonly disable
[ make your changes to the rootfs now ]
$ steamos-readonly enable
$ systemd-sysext merge
```
