- Comment on Do I have to start BG3 through desktop mode for mods to work? 10 hours ago:
How do you launch it in desktop mode? Do you just click on play in Steam?
- Comment on Proton Experimental update enables gamepad input for all game launchers on Linux, SteamOS / Steam Deck 2 days ago:
Not for all launchers. It’s enabled by default for select titles but should work with everything using standard Win32 controls.
- Comment on Your experience streaming to twitch/youtube with the SD? 1 week ago:
I haven’t tried it but considering the weak CPU it might not be a pleasant experience.
But if you want to try it OBS is available in the software store and should at least work in desktop mode. Probably not in gaming mode.
- Comment on [Help] Gamepad input gone in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 after standby 2 weeks ago:
See my edit. It’s a bug in Proton 10. Don’t use Experimental or Hotfix at the moment.
- Comment on [Game] Doom the Dark Ages will not run well on steam deck at release 2 weeks ago:
Didn’t they manage to get Indiana Jones working after a while? That’s on the same engine, right? I’ll be patient. Don’t have the energy for Doom at the moment anyways.
- Comment on [Help] Gamepad input gone in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 after standby 2 weeks ago:
Yes, that was it! It’s a bug in Proton 10.
- Comment on [Help] Gamepad input gone in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 after standby 2 weeks ago:
That sounds like it may very well be the issue. I think I’m running Proton Hotfix at the moment.
I wish there was a way to see what Valve did to fix a problem with SteamOS. I’m also interested in their solution for low memory slowdowns.
- Comment on [Help] Gamepad input gone in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 after standby 2 weeks ago:
It helped when I ran a pirated copy through Heroic. I have since bought the game and use Steam Input, so I only get the controls recommended by Steam.
I will try replicating the desktop setup. Maybe switching out of the game and back helps.

- Comment on SteamOS 3.7.5 for Steam Deck now in Beta with big upgrades and initial support for more hardware 2 weeks ago:
Improved responsiveness of system when running into out-of-memory crash situations.
I’d really like to know what they did there. I recently added earlyoom to my non-SteamOS Deck for much the same reason. Expedition 33 sometimes seems to run into a memory leak which makes the whole Deck unresponsive.

If you have a drive enclosure or a large enough backup drive you can clone the old SSD with

Honestly, you can half ass that shit. As long as you don’t go hacking away at everything you’ll be fine.
- Comment on [Discussion] What are you playing on your Deck? - May 2025 3 weeks ago:
So far every area seems to be relatively small. Like Doom 2016 arenas. Dungeons seem to be self contained and the Overworld is zoomed out, so it’s not so large either. Only stutters I have noticed where shortly after resuming from standby but they are gone after a minute. But I don’t play with an FPS counter visible so that’s only based on my feelings.
At the beginning there are huge crowds of people but that doesn’t seem to influence FPS at all. And at some points I was astonished at how good a cut scene looks, thinking it was pre recorded but then I noticed the characters wearing my custom clothes
In the end FPS are only important in the fights to hit the QTEs. And they are very limited in scope. Only effects could be a problem, that’s why they are most important to keep at Low.
- Comment on [Discussion] What are you playing on your Deck? - May 2025 3 weeks ago:
I’m playing Clair Obscur. It runs at about 30 fps if you put everything on Low and use TSR with 60% resolution.

- Comment on What are (in your opnion) the must tweaks for steamos? 4 weeks ago:
Ext4 can be converted to BTRFS without data loss. The only downside is that you lose ext4’s capability to have case insensitive folders.
- Comment on What are (in your opnion) the must tweaks for steamos? 4 weeks ago:
There’s an easy tool to do that. The beauty of ext4 is that it can be converted to BTRFS without any data loss.
Can’t remember what the tool is called and by now I don’t use SteamOS any more. But a search engine of your choice should find it.
- Comment on What are (in your opnion) the must tweaks for steamos? 4 weeks ago:
Heroic, Lutris or Bottles have to be installed to easier manage non-Steam games.
And BTRFS with compression and deduplication are great to save space.
- Comment on Alternative OS? 4 weeks ago:
In that case you should really try OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. I used the Gnome based live image to install (although I wanted KDE) because it’s the only one with a usable on screen keyboard.
You should instantly have a usable system. Then you just need to install Steam.
- Comment on Did someone here play "high on life" on the deck? 4 weeks ago:
Half rate shading is in the Deck’s menu on the right.
- Comment on Alternative OS? 4 weeks ago:
At least the mouse is emulated by default in the gamepad’s “lizard mode”. And when you run Steam you get the same functionality as on the Deck.
- Comment on Alternative OS? 4 weeks ago:
Just about any distribution should work out of the box. At least on the LCD model. Don’t know how far the kernel sources are upstreamed for the OLED model.
I run OpenSUSE on my Deck. I did some tinkering to get it to a state I like. Unfortunately I don’t have the energy to list everything. For many things I have created posts on Lemmy, should be my older stuff.
At gitlab.com/evlaV you can find all the sources from Valve’s changes. If you have an OLED model you should be able to get a fully working kernel from here. For my LCD I created DKMS modules for the fan and controller.

Do you have half-rate shading or FSR turned on?
- Comment on [Help] Failing power button 5 weeks ago:
don’t remember. At least a few months. I think I had even forgotten about it when I sent it in.
- Comment on [Help] Failing power button 5 weeks ago:
I had that as well. I folded a piece of paper and stuck it under the power button. Worked well until I had to RMA due to another issue. Then they fixed it properly.
- Comment on Market research firm International Data Corporation estimated that between 3.7 and 4 million Steam Deck had been sold by the third anniversary of the device in February 2025. 1 month ago:
Can confirm this.
I got my Steam Deck when I caught Corona and stopped getting better. By now I can’t leave my bed but with the Deck I can at least play something. Otherwise I would have gone insane by now.
- Comment on Steam deck OLED 1TB or Asus ROG Ally X with Bazzite? 1 month ago:
I only have a Deck but the touchpads are invaluable. Not only for mouse inputs but also to map multiple functions via Steam Input.
But also the gyro aiming is great for shooters. No idea if the Ally has a gyro but that has also been invaluable. Not for broad gestures but for small aiming adjustments. I forgot I used it until I turned it off.

Oh, also Goat Simulator. So much hilarious mayhem!
- Comment on Recommendations for games for 6 year old 1 month ago:
Tons of Lego games are also available on the Deck. Minecraft is always great. GCompris is a great collection for children.
And of course you can always emulate Switch games.
