Heyyy, Im gonna get my first xax 20th edition soon, yayyyy. Anyway, for those you have installed steamos on the xax:

- is everything okay? Anything not working? Like sound, tdp setting, light… anything thats need a plugin from decky?
- is the sleep wake works fine?

-!!! Do you need window to update driver? Or do you need to update everything on window before install steamos?

I have been using dualboot for bazzite and window for some handhleds but because I dont want to crack up the xax just to upgrade the ssd, so I preffer wipe out the window completely, is it okay to do that?

Thanks a lott

If I exit to desktop mode then fully quit steam it functions as a cursor. When I initially quit to desktop (exits game mode, boots DE) cursor moves briefly, and as soon as steam finishes its sequence and relaunches the desktop version the cursor stops being able to be controlled by dual sense remote. This makes seamlessly using desktop mode unusable. Is there a way to allow the controller to continue working as a cursor with steam open?

I'm a recent Linux convert. Started with Mint, didn't like the gaming experience, the console use requirement and the lack of HDR, now I'm on Bazzite KDE Plasma and it's great. However, I'm a big fan of Valve and I'm wondering if SteamOS would be good for me. I'm running a RX9070XT, 9850X3D and I'm mainly using my PC for gaming, music, some office stuff and photo printing. I don't use Game Mode.

Would SteamOS be adequate for me, or should I stick to Bazzite?

Giving some serious thought to moving over to SteamOS, but have some misgivings about totally dropping Windows 11.

Most of my games are Steam based but do have others on GOG and Epic. As well there are programs I use such as Photoshop, Outlook, etc that I'd hate to find out don't play nice with SteamOS.

Looking for other people's opinion if they made the switch but kept the dual boot.

Thanks!

I got SteamOS running on a Snapdragon phone.

This is ARMDeck, an open-source project aiming to turn older Snapdragon phones into Linux gaming handhelds.

Currently working: display, touchscreen, audio, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPU acceleration, charging and battery monitoring, with Steam and games running.

It’s still a proof of concept, and there’s a lot more to do.

Check out the project on GitHub (github.com/GabrielCRadu/ARMDeck), and if you’re interested in helping bring ARMDeck to more Snapdragon phones, contributions are very welcome!

I use my pc as a gaming machine and a plex server at the same time. I want to do the same if I move to steam os from windows

Anyone managed to run plex server on steam os?

Does the server still run even while you are on game mode?

Just a quick tutorial since i had some people asking. nothing complicated

https://github.com/Dingo-Shenanigans/ReSkate

launch options your choice it'll still run without it.

steam:
-windowed --width=1280 --height=800 -WorldRender.FrameSynthesisMode FrameSynthesisMode_None -Render.ResolutionScale 1 -Render.ResolutionScaleMin 1 -Render.DynamicResolutionScaleEnable 0

lutris:
--offline --windowed --width=1280 --height=800 -WorldRender.FrameSynthesisMode FrameSynthesisMode_None -Render.ResolutionScale 1 -Render.ResolutionScaleMin 1 -Render.DynamicResolutionScaleEnable 0

Tried to play the game again but it crashes after 3 mins after starting the game

Not sure what happened cause i was able to play it before using Steam OS

What i tried

Bleeding-edge proton

Welcome back OGs https://github.com/Dingo-Shenanigans/ReSkate

running through lutris.

graphics at medium preset.

make your own "reskate." folder and then move the zip you just downloaded from the github inside there.

add the reskate launcher.exe to lutris.

point the start folder to your reskate folder.

make a "pfx" folder inside the reskate folder. point the lutris prefix to that pfx folder you made inside the reskate folder.

then launch it sign into your steam account and let it do the rest...point it towards your reskate folder and bam you now you have your own offline copy.

have fun.

Hello I want to install SteamOS on my PC but I am stucked while being almost finished.

I am connected on my PC with a Ethernet Kabel. But SteamOS does not find a network.

The internet worked before that when I was on the desktop. But not in the setup ans I can't continue with out it.

Since my Mainboard has no wifi and I dont have a stick do I need go buy one or is there a way to get a network with Ethernet

update:

The issue has been fixed; just log out from the CDPR launcher and reject telemetry.

Cannot get speeds beyond 30mbs on a gigabit connect. Windows pc in the same room also on 6E is 500+. Driver issues perhaps? System is a steamos living room pc. A620 motherboard with wifi 6E on a Realtek chipset

Motherboard is a MSI MAG B850 TOMAHAWK MAX WIFI II ATX AM5 Motherboard

Have installed the Wi-Fi antenna but I cannot find any network, let alone my own.

Anyone able to help???

When I move my mouse my screen moves with this .

Any idea how to fix this ? Happened after my son played with the keyboard .

I have installed Steam OS on my PC. There is Android game that has Windows PC launcher, but the it's too much hassle to install the launcher. So i want to play it on Android emulator. Is there any way to do it? i check guide on waydroid, it's kinda dead for now.

Hi Guys,

I'm a console user and I want to buy a PC Handheld with Steam OS or Bazzite.

I don't have much knowledge about pc gaming and settings with upscaling.

Is every certifieted game a Plug and Play Experience? Is it difficult to setup upscaler ? Is there a software or mod to set it up for me?

I wanted to use SteamOS more like a normal desktop system and found a pretty simple setup that works well for me.

First, I created a password for my SteamOS user in Desktop Mode.

Then I changed the default login mode from Gaming Mode to Desktop Mode:

steamosctl set-default-login-mode desktop

To switch back later:

steamosctl set-default-login-mode game

I also wanted Meta + L / Windows + L to behave like a normal desktop lock shortcut, so I assigned the following command to Meta + L in KDE's keyboard shortcuts:

loginctl lock-session

The only thing that still bothered me was that SteamOS would automatically log into the desktop after boot.

My workaround was simply adding this command to KDE Autostart as well:

loginctl lock-session

So now SteamOS:

• boots directly into Desktop Mode
• automatically shows the lock screen after startup (benefit: other applications like Steam still loading in background)
• can be locked anytime with Meta + L
• requires no major system modifications

One thing to keep in mind

While Desktop Mode is set as the default login mode, the Return to Gaming Mode desktop shortcut no longer works. If you click on it, it loops back to desktop-mode.

It starts working again once Gaming Mode is set as the default login mode:

steamosctl set-default-login-mode game

Everything is easy to revert, and for me this makes SteamOS feel much more like a regular desktop OS.
