There is a way to inject FSR 4 into games but only if they already support another upscaling algorithm like FSR 3 or DLSS. Don’t know about the Steam Machine/Deck specifically but in general it’s called optiscaler. I bet there is a Decky plugin to make it easier to activate.

Someone could make a custom front plate with a vertical disc drive.
- Comment on The Steam Machine calls itself steamdeck in my network 2 days ago:
I guess some of the games falsely seeing the Machine as a Deck check for Proton.

Well, I was shocked when I couldn’t use my Quest 1 controllers on my PC. But luckily Valve is much more open.

I usually put my Deck on my belly. Thank God for adipositas!
But I also got a monitor arm to mount my PC monitor over my bed. I’m planning to play with a Steam Controller and maybe down the line with the Steam Frame controllers to be able to keep my hands independent of each other.
- Comment on What solution, if any, do you use for gaming in bed? 2 days ago:
I hope I will be able to use the Steam Frame controllers in much the same way.
- Comment on Can I Hotswap A Steam Deck SSD Into the Steam Machine? 5 days ago:
I’d just try it out. If it fails you can still flash the installer to a USB stick or SD card.
- Comment on DLSS Updater 4.3.0 for Linux has "grown into a full Proton Upscalers panel" 5 days ago:
Anyone knows what makes this better or different from optiscaler?
- Comment on [Discussion] What are you playing on your Deck or Machine? - July 2026 2 weeks ago:
I’m hooked on the Gothic Remake. It runs like garbage. I can barely get 30 fps. Sometimes. But I’m still having a great time. I’m on my third run.
Next up is Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. Hope that runs better. KCD 1 ran great.
- Comment on Valve Steam Machine Review - Gamers Nexus 3 weeks ago:
Look for the early announcement videos. Someone tore one appart there. Might even have been LTT. If I recall correctly you have to remove the heatsink to access the RAM.
- Comment on Valve Steam Machine Review - Gamers Nexus 3 weeks ago:
But what if you want intelligent videos that scratch the surface early on and go into details at your leisure?

Reminds me of the time an earthquake (?) destroyed an HDD factory and I have been waiting ever since for them to get on the same price trajectory as they had been back then. I’m still waiting.
- Comment on Any desktop-mode tips for a new Steam Deck owner? 5 weeks ago:
Hmm, yeah I read that. I think you are just not the target audience of SteamOS. It’s more or less meant for people who don’t want to tinker.
If you’re already familiar with Cachy it’s probably a great choice. Personally I went with OpenSUSE which was quite a hassle to get set up like I want. Especially since I couldn’t be bothered to hook up a keyboard. But I think Cachy has all the stuff I had to add manually already integrated.
- Comment on Any desktop-mode tips for a new Steam Deck owner? 5 weeks ago:
I think it would be much less hassle for you to install another OS instead of SteamOS. Like Bazzite. You should be able to configure that to your liking more easily.
- Comment on Steam Deck back in stock, with higher pricing 1 month ago:
They actually have started. Just googled this an hour or so ago. They started shipping in the EU about two days ago. The people reporting that they got their mails all had reservations a minute or two before starting time.

- Comment on What driver would the Steam Controller come with if not xinput? 2 months ago:
That is basically the current state of the Steam Deck’s controller driver.
You probably could already find the new controller’s driver in Valve’s repositories and compile it for your kernel. Maybe Bazzite and Co have it already integrated. No idea. But if that isn’t the case it’s just a matter of time.
- Comment on What driver would the Steam Controller come with if not xinput? 2 months ago:
I actually tried to do that but I didn’t find where the buttons and axis are defined.
- Comment on What driver would the Steam Controller come with if not xinput? 2 months ago:
When you check KDE’s gamepad page without Steam running it appears like any other controller. Back buttons are just additional buttons.
It’s a shame that the capacitive joysticks aren’t buttons as well. And I’d expect the gyros to just appear alongside the other axis as pure numbers but unfortunately they do not. Same with the touchpads.
- Comment on Anyone manage to order a controller? 2 months ago:
In the EU it switched to 6 to 10 days. Hope I can get it before it’s out of stock here as well.
- Comment on Anyone manage to order a controller? 2 months ago:
Had the same idea but I still can’t order.
- Comment on Steam Controller early review leak claims $99 launch price 2 months ago:
The Steam Deck had a European release. Will probably be the same with this one.
Earlier today (or yesterday) the Steam Controller page on Komodo, the official Asian reseller, went accidentally live. I’d say that’s a good indicator that they’re gearing up for a more or less worldwide release with dedicated shipping centers.
- Comment on Steam Controller early review leak claims $99 launch price 2 months ago:
It’s awesome. Especially when you need a ton more buttons Steam Input together with the touchpads is a godsend. You just create two or more menus and access them with the touchpads.
- Comment on Steam Controller early review leak claims $99 launch price 2 months ago:
I was hoping for less but bracing for more.
Let’s see if that price is true.

- Comment on I've been using my steam deck wrong this whole time 2 months ago:
I think that’s a relatively common issue that can be fixed by resetting the battery. I think it starts by loading it for a day even when the indicator isn’t lighting up.
Look it up, I might be wrong.
- Comment on No input on volume after disassembly. 2 months ago:
Do the speakers still work? Can you change the volume from the taskbar in desktop mode?
You could try running
alsamixerin the terminal. That should give you more control over all audio devices.
