- Comment on Steam OS page gets a redesign, finally retiring the old design from the Steam OS 2.0 era 3 days ago:
There’s always something that doesn’t work unfortunately.
Usually NVidia drivers which is why I gave the heads up regarding them. SteamOS on compatible hardware is ready to use as much as it gets, definitively better than using Windows on any device that’s not using keyboard and mouse as primary input. Again: That’s why sales of these are so low.

Not really on handhelds and console-style set top boxes. That’s why sales of these are so low.

- Comment on Valve's huge Steam Deck update is now ready for everyone, including rival AMD handhelds 5 days ago:
Yeah, why is that article the pinned post and not the real thing (I’m the first to submit it a few minutes ago, no cross-posting info displayed by Lemmy)?

- Comment on Steam OS page gets a redesign, finally retiring the old design from the Steam OS 2.0 era 5 days ago:
Sure, but the original context was a new user wanting to try Linux on their gaming laptop.
And I was giving a heads up regarding Nvidia graphics and only Nvidia graphics. I know what I wrote.

If you’re assuming the user will have trouble with SteamOS’ write protection, which I totally agree with, Bazzite is also surely going to cause headaches.
For the specific context I was replying to – Nvidia drivers – Bazzite’s write protection is completely irrelevant because there are editions with Nvidia drivers preinstalled.
The idea of a locked down system that gets most apps as Flatpaks sounds appealing, until the cracks start to show up.
Depends on the use case. SteamOS comes with Distrobox. All non-Flatpak needs of mine can be achieved through this.

Bazzite still has experimental support for NVidia GPUs, you should use Nobara HTPC Nvidia ISO
None of the Nvidia issues are because of Bazzite. They are all because of NVidia’s drivers and those are the same everywhere. Nothing Nobara or anyone else but Nvidia can do. See docs.bazzite.gg/…/quirks/#nvidia-exclusive-issues
- Comment on Steam OS page gets a redesign, finally retiring the old design from the Steam OS 2.0 era 5 days ago:
Is Bazzite an OS that I would use, or is it a set of drivers that lets SteamOS play nice with Nvidia?
You cannot install Nvidia drivers on SteamOS without jumping through more hoops than it’s worth because the system partition is write protected. You can unprotect it but the next SteamOS update everything will be reset.
All improvements from SteamOS eventually trickle down to all mainstream desktop Linux distributions anyway, just as all Red Hat improvements trickle down to SteamOS.
Bazzite happens to be a gaming-focused distribution but you can also just get Fedora KDE and have a good time as well. I happen to like the download assistant at bazzite.gg/#image-picker which more distribution should adopt.

Be mindful of Nvidia drivers, should that notebook come with a GeForce GPU. SteamOS does not support Nvidia. Use Bazzite in such a case.

- Comment on Has the Deck turned *off* any other Steam users? 2 weeks ago:
There is no doubt. Sony is actually a great example because they were the ones who tried to remove purchases from Discovery. They faced zero legal consequences.
The legal justification is right there in the byline of the article you’ve linked.
- Comment on Has the Deck turned *off* any other Steam users? 3 weeks ago:
Steam and game publishers can always take your games away without prior notice.
Technically: Yes. Legally: Doubtful.
Publishers can choose to no longer run servers but to remove games from the accounts without compensation, would be legal trouble.
When Sony axed Concord, all buyers got a full refund for a reason and that reason isn’t that Sony is such a caring company.

My child is not old enough to read, let alone login and create an account.
“make her an account” does not mean that she should do it on her own.

This is the Steam Deck community. Technically speaking, giving her money is not required because Deck is not a traditional games console.🏴☠️
- Comment on SteamOS 3.7.3 Preview: Variable Release Rate 5 weeks ago:
SteamOS is not a good general purpose distribution for random PCs. Internationalization is basically non existent. For an external keyboard the layout is hardcoded to US in Game Mode and for people who don’t know where to look it’s basically impossible to find where to change it in Plasma/Desktop Mode. Language files including spell check dictionaries are unavailable for anything but English, presumably to save storage space everywhere for the 64GB Deck.
If you manually set the system language to anything but English, you end up with a weird mishmash of languages because the .desktop files still contain all translations, GUIs of bundled apps stay English, and Flatpak apps respect the language setting.
The sole thing SteamOS has over other distributions is the fact that you can order a Steam Deck and everything is already right there. Once installation on random PCs comes into play, SteamOS loses against Fedora and alike hands down because those have the wizards to set up language, encryption, dual boot, etc.

- Comment on Right time to switching to SteamOS (not Bazzite) on my RoG Ally? 1 month ago:
So my question is will we ever get a proper signal from Valve saying “Yup, it’s now fully compatible with the RoG Ally”.
I have doubts there will ever be such formal announcements for devices that don’t run SteamOS out of the box. With more OEMs deciding to ship SteamOS, for other devices will work better as a side effect.

- Comment on New Stable Steam Client update for Deck and Desktop 1 month ago:
This is only the Steam client itself which gets updated independently of SteamOS.
- Comment on Low battery notification requrst 1 month ago:
Why don’t you just shut down the Deck? Unlike suspend, there is almost no battery drain. Startup isn’t that slow for it to be a chore IMO.
