  It will be there eventually, but on Valve time. There isn’t any huge issue with what AMD is releasing

  Valve’s goal with it is to “have a standardized interface so that SteamOS specific features in the Steam client, e.g. TDP management, can be exposed in any linux distro that provides an implementation of this DBus API”

  Some companies are trying to move core features under their closed source umbrella and Valve is exposing their features so that other Linux distros can make use of it.

  Don’t forget educational institutes. Linux should be the defacto OS at such places. The younger generation’s first interaction with a PC is at school. If they are used to Linux from a young age, this is greatly help them ease into the Linux mindset (package manager, terminal).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Right time to switching to SteamOS (not Bazzite) on my RoG Ally?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Just giving you an update. I gave it for repair and it got accepted for warranty. I kept my Ally like a baby so they couldn’t find any physical fault with it. They changed the motherboard for free and now the SD card reader is working again. However, I am not sure if the problem will recur again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Right time to switching to SteamOS (not Bazzite) on my RoG Ally?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes.

  Right now I’m documenting the fault and status of the device. I have heard that Asus sometimes “add” extra damage to the device so that they can claim it’s not covered under the warranty.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Right time to switching to SteamOS (not Bazzite) on my RoG Ally?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s no reason this should impact your warranty. But also your ASUS warranty is meaningless anyway. Unless you want your device held for a ransom

  I currently have an issue with my device. The SD card reader is faulty. It was not working on Bazzite. I thought maybe it might work on Windows (but chances were low). I installed Window and saw the SD card reader was indeed fried.

  Now if I submit my device with Bazzite to the Asus representative, they might say “different OS, we can’t help! hurr durr” and send me back. You can’t argue with these on-field agents. I took the safe way and replicated the problem on Windows.

  I heard some technicians replace the MB, apply proper shielding, adjust the fan curves, during the repair process so that the issue does not repeat. I’m hoping for this outcome.

  No wonder it was so laggy on Bazzite. So I should download the Windows version, I guess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[help] Getting my first steam deck tomorrow⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Regarding battery, learn how to utilize power draw slider. Unless necessary, play games on 30-60 FPS. Your battery will thank you for that.

  I liked the game so much, I finished it in 3-4 sittings. So it was not a “pick up and put down” game. But it’s probably my fault. Now I have to unlock the good ending.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[help] Getting my first steam deck tomorrow⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
  • Use the device as is. It doesn’t need a lot of tinkering. But in case you see your fav game is tagged as “unsupported”, check out the game on protondb.com. Chances are it’s probably well supported.
  • If you intend to travel a lot with the device, you can buy an Apple AirTag or Tile
  • The device is excellent for indie games, 2d/platformers
  • If you want to connect it to your living room TV or use it as a gaming console, you can buy a dock and a pair of controllers. Great for local play.

  trying to install apps or programs on the Deck if they are not on Flathub is quite a common use-case

  an average user should not have this problem on the first week

  • Install Heroic Launcher / Non Steam Launcher
  • Install games from them

  Nuclear apocalypse happens and internet is down

  • Get ISOs of games in a USB drive
  • Plug it into the deck and install

  Hi there, just a small correction. Compared to existing linux distros, it’s slightly different. Steam OS is an immutable OS, which means you can’t edit the root partition (Like you can’t edit the C:\ drive in Windows). This is both good and bad. Good -> Users can’t mess up their device while trying to mess around with it. Updates are smooth because Valve knows the previous state of the OS. Bad -> It’s bad only for extreme power users. You can’t run your own kernel, install certain build packages to do some advanced stuff. But this is a tiny tiny bad.

  Overall, Steam OS is great and I believe will be the gateway for the general PC crowd.

  Steam Deck + USB type C dock + HDMI cable + bluetooth controller. You’re done

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The terrible tragedy of a stolen Steam Deck⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hi there, I can see that the thief is currently using the device. Will it be possible to send a link via my friend saying “Yo bro, check this meme. This girl is crazzyyyy <link>” which, once clicked, gets the GPS coordinate?

  For example, it’s possible via browser to get the location of a device. Can the same thing be done on Linux? I can create a simple nginx webserver on my spare server but unsure about how to proceed.

  Thanks a lot! I wanted something like AirTag but for Android. I am convincing myself to wait for the Steam Deck OLED 2. I’ll buy the tracker and put it under a decal or something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The terrible tragedy of a stolen Steam Deck⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  True, but I would have been filled with regret if I never even tried the official way of recovering it :(

  is trying to get you to drop the issue so they don’t have more paperwork.

  I had to visit 3 police stations before they agreed to take my case
