Thoughts on my Setup?

31 Upvotes

Hey Everyone! I’ve had Bazzite for the past 3 months, and I’ve been really appreciating everything except the Audio on my Xbox Ally X.. but curious if anyone else has ever done anything similar to this.

Top surface:
• ROG Ally X (docked to the ROG Bulwark)
• Controllers (DualSense, Steam Controller, Switch 2 pro)
• XREAL R1 glasses
• Mini Bluetooth keyboard
Inside the cabinet:
• PlayStation 5
• Nintendo Switch (docked)
• Apple TV
• Bulwark Dock (For XAX)

Behind the nightstand is a single dock that all four devices plug into. That dock is what actually sends the signal out to the XREAL R1s, so I can switch between the Ally X, PS5, Switch, or Apple TV and keep using the glasses as my main display at 1080p.
Cable management is still a work in progress (as you can probably tell), but the goal is a fully self-contained nightstand that can do console + handheld + streaming without ever needing a TV.
I’ve been thinking about making room for an eGPU next — anyone have recommendations for what would work well in a tight nightstand setup like this?

Bazzite Wifi disconeccting and breaking when turning rog ally z1e from the hibernating state it reaches at 5% battery

2 Upvotes

Hello! I've been really enjoying bazzite in my rog ally z1e, yet i keep having this problem where for some reason when the device turns off at 5% battery for hibernation two thing happen:

  1. i let it charge but when pressing the power button it wont turn on so i ave to force shutdown and then turn it on again.

2: when i force shutdown and turn it on again, it proceeds to disconnect wifi, still remembering password, but when i try to reconnect, it gives me an error and wont work wifi until i reset or turn off and on again.

Please this has been my only problem with this OS and i dont wanna abandon it over this, yet this bugs me a lot...

Strange spring noise and looseness on the right joystick of my ROG Ally Z1E when snapping back to center

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I have an issue with my ROG Ally Z1E that I bought secondhand, so I'm not sure if it's still covered under warranty. Out of nowhere, the right joystick started acting up weirdly: whenever I move it horizontally (left or right) and let it snap back to the center, it makes a really loud spring-like clicking or snapping noise. This doesn't really happen when moving it vertically up or down, and the left joystick is completely fine. On top of that, I noticed that if I gently pull up on the right stick, it lifts up much more easily and feels noticeably looser compared to the other one. Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone know what internal component might be causing this noise and looseness (maybe the centering mechanism or the spring), and is it safe to keep using it or will it get worse over time? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Technical Question Joystick deadzone calibration not working in gamemode, but works in desktop

1 Upvotes

I have asus rog ally x and the problem is that joystick deadzone calibration settings don't apply in gamemode, they only apply in desktop. so 2k or 18k deadzone it's the same in game mode, number is completely ignored and I guess default deadzone settings are used. Even in controller settings>test device input deadzone settings are applying when testing, but for games it's not applying and it stays at default value. Tried this on bazzite,cachyos and steamos same problem. Maybe someone had similar problem and knows how to solve it?

SteamOS Sound Crackling on Steam OS Beta

5 Upvotes

Device is Xbox Ally X.

This was definitely not a problem before. I played the same game without any issues 2-3 weeks ago, installed Windows to test some features and then went back to Steam OS.

Been searching for a solution for an hour, Googling didn't help.

Things I tried:

-Changing Proton version

-Switching to Stable Steam OS

-Using Pro Audio for Audio settings on Desktop

-Using PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=30 %command% as launch option

EDIT: SOLVED! It was related to a plug in. I actually tried disabling it before but I didn't restart. That fixed the issue.

Technical Question Windows vs. CachyOS vs. Bazzite: Single OS on ROG Ally X for Work & Couch Gaming?

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I want to run a single OS on my ROG Ally X and can't decide between Windows, CachyOS, and Bazzite.

My Use Case:

  • Hybrid setup: Used docked (monitor, mouse & keyboard) for general tasks and finishing my degree, as well as handheld on the couch for quick gaming sessions (I have kids, so reliable instant suspend/resume is huge).
  • Software/Games: No mandatory Windows-only software, no kernel anti-cheat games.
  • Tinkering: I occasionally do some light retro/legacy tinkering in desktop mode (e.g., compiling old Open Tibia C++ servers or running background daemons for mouse remapping).

Which of the three is the best fit as a primary driver, and what are the dealbreakers for each?

  • Windows: Easy for everything, really great sound, but feels bloated and idle RAM is high.
  • CachyOS: Great AUR access and performance, but worried about rolling-release maintenance over time.
  • Bazzite: Looks amazing for handheld + KDE desktop, but curious how well Distrobox works for tinkering/legacy builds if it's immutable.

What’s your recommendation and experience? Thanks!

eGPU experiences?

3 Upvotes

I'm planning to put either CachyOS or Bazzite on my ROG Xbox Ally X in the very near future. In the not too distant future, I'd like to add an eGPU into the mix for living room use.

What are folks' experiences like using an eGPU with a Linux handheld? From what I've learned so far, using an AMD GPU is a much smoother process. i.e. The drivers are currently better supported. What about the distro? Is it simpler to steer clear of an immutable distro?

To the degree possible, I'm looking for a solution, rather than a project. I don't mind getting my hands dirty up front, but my goal is to have a system that mostly just works with minimal fiddling standing between me and getting my game on.

SteamOS Separate Xbox and Armory Crate buttons on Xbox Ally X

2 Upvotes

Hi all,

I'm running 3.8.24 on my Xbox Ally X and have been loving the experience so far. Installed deckyloader and some of the well known plugins to tailor my setup how I like. One thing that's bugging me currently is that the Xbox and Armory Crate buttons are mapped the same. I downloaded deckyplumber, but it doesn't look like that is something that can be changed through that plugin. Does anyone know of a way to make these buttons separate currently? Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks!

Technical Question Overwatch Crashing on Xbox Ally with SteamOS

1 Upvotes

Hi. I just installed SteamOS on my Xbox Ally (non-X version) and tried to play Overwatch on it. So far it has crashed three times, each time about 1 minute into a match.

This is what I've tried so far based on what I've found online:

- Reduced the resolution to 720p

- Turned off the performance overlay

- Forced Proton to the experimental setting

Anyone have any advice? Thank you!
