For those who don’t know, the SteamGridDB plugin lets you download alternate game art for your steam library. It’s really cool and includes animated art as well.
This update makes it compatible with the Steam Beta (that broke a lot of plugins), fixed a big where it would only show the first 50 alternate art assets, and gives an option to revert to the original art.
What’s the chance of using this plugin without a steam deck? I’m using arch and I run steam in big picture mode.
It’s probably possible, I know Bazzite has working steam deck plugins so it’s possible to get Decky plugins working on non-steamOS distros.
However the easiest way for SteamGridDB specifically is to use Boop, which is a tool they make for changing artwork on windows and Linux desktops.
Thank you, this is perfect.
Your use case works
I use Decky with ChimeraOS on my HTPC

This is great news. Thanks for sharing. The timing is spot on, since I’m going back to SteamOS from a ride on Bazzite that could have gone better.

If you don’t mind sharing, what kind of issues did you run into with Bazzite? I’ve been considering switching for awhile.

Nothing that would break gaming. Having to forget and pair again my controllers is the most annoying one. Also, when waking up from sleep, it would not accept the HDMI display (LG TV), and I had to reboot. Also, one decky plugin I regularly use (BT Wake Control) crashes before even starting. Outside these issues, everything else (that I use) works just fine.
