another one

I know this is the second time I open up a Deck but AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

ok steam deck time

mind you, this is the 256GB model

and I don’t know if it would make sense to install Windows on it

there’s probably more RDNA2 and Linux in my home now that pretty much anywhere else in the world, that’s kinda funny

so I got asked to upgrade the other Deck and now there’s 2 Decks on my table

weird sight

an eternity later

it comes dusty out of the box, weird

Update: I used up all my time last night to backup the A partitions on the Steam Deck as they (more or less I think? I booted up into SteamOS twice by accident) came out of the box – archival is goodgood

maybe I should have backed up the B ones but shhhhhhhhhh

gorggorg 💗

updated firmware from F7A0101 to F7A0105, that’s out of the way now

I have now booted up Windows 11 from my Deck

yes

Windows thinks there’s a keyboard attached lol

overall, 11 is a bit of a mess on – things scaling up like a mess, the UI overall pretends there’s no touch screen because it sees a “””keyboard”””, you have to install display drivers separately… not really worth it so far

if only there were drivers for 8.1

so this exists apparently https://gitlab.com/popsulfr/steamos-btrfs/

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

in other news, I don’t like how Plasma is X11 only by default

and the reason that seems to be the case is because the Steam Input integration completely breaks up on Wayland, making the touchpad no longer work (and I imagine it will also struggle with stuff like virtual keyboard positioning)

help there’s a cat sleeping on my Deck’s case

The Deck’s battery has stood up an entire day of active non-gaming usage, not bad!

this looks like a neat guide for Deck newcomers! it even has dev resources https://github.com/mikeroyal/Steam-Deck-Guide

(the screenshots tho lmao)

it’s missing the part I wanted to see the most tho https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2022/04/steam-deck-developer-mode-does-not-turn-off-the-read-only-filesystem/

ah, sweet 256GB SSD with repartitioned SteamOS + Btrfs + Zstd

Oh hey, this will come in very handy https://steamcommunity.com/app/1675200/discussions/0/3269060419612777126/

We are about to see the first iteration of SteamOS that doesn’t feel like a beta and I’m ready

Back to Deck stuff… seems like the Deck really is optimized for AAA games – and AAA games only.

Look at what happens when toggling SMT https://reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/ubsqq9/super_mario_sunshine_with_widescreen_and_60fps/

@xerz what happens? It is ok, no?

@debgerme you shouldn’t expect emulation to require disabling hyperthreading to work lol

@xerz WTF
it uses dolphin to emulate gamecube?
