Hopefully, now that Valve are in a partnership with Arch, they'll be able to push out a general release of SteamOS at some point in the future. Valve are basically paying the Arch developers so they can develop Arch faster and more reliably. In turn, SteamOS and all the other Arch based distros benefit from the updates and continued maintenance of the OS. It's pretty smart.

I decided to download Bazzide on my OG Alley because Windows was extremely frustrating and annoying to use. I installed it immediately and preferred it over Windows. On Windows, I used Steam’s Big Picture Mode as my primary way to interact with my games, but it had some issues. For instance, if you set the resolution of a game lower than your desktop, it would start to glitch. Bazzide addresses these issues and makes it easier to use. In fact, I use my Alley as a handheld, PC, and console-like experience by plugging it into a big TV. It’s definitely the best decision I’ve made for my Alley.

VIVA LA BAZZITE! I LOVE IT! I'm use it 99% of the time on my ROG Ally; dual boot Windows but BARELY use it. Some quirks but I keeps getting better. It just works!

[@PomuLeafEveryday]

What people don't understand is that SteamOS is more of a program sitting on top of Arch Linux (Steam front end + Arch Linux bundled together is SteamOS) rather than a whole OS itself. What Bazzite or ChimeraOS have done is reverse engineer that front end and slap on other Linux distros (fedora for bazzite, arch linux again for ChimeraOS), and make them work with the hardware of other devices by including the right drivers. This is why the same plugins such as Decky Loader and CSS Loader work for SteamOS, Bazzite, etc. They're all the same Steam front end.

[@WyvernDotRed]

True, but SteamOS is Valve's own redistribution of Arch Linux, with their slightly customised kernel and duel BTRFS image based install. In which some tweaks are made to make it integrate with the hardware better, though this is replicable on other distro's. Additionally, their gamescope window manager is custom, though other distros can use this too. Those plugins mostly hook into the Steam client frontend though, which's code is included on the Linux package too and can be enabled with a flag.

[@PomuLeafEveryday]

@@WyvernDotRed When people talk about wanting SteamOS though, they're mainly talking about wanting the console like front end, easy control customization, proper sleep function, etc. The Steam front end does all that on both Bazzite and ChimeraOS too. People are not talking about the tweaking or optimization for Steam Deck hardware behind the scenes, though fantastic as they are. People talk about Bazzite or ChimeraOS like they're copies or remakes of SteamOS, but it's literally the same Steam front end that provides all the same features, or at least all the ones that actually matter for the user experience. And then they're put off and say they'll wait for the official Valve version of SteamOS for other devices, like it'll be "better". The experience will be exactly the same. And Bazzite/ChimeraOS will have had a head start on optimizing for those other devices such as the ROG Ally.

For everyone wondering. Linux proton does support battle eye and easy anticheat, it's just a good amount developers go out of their way to not activate or do the bare minimum to allow Linux.😅

A good amount of games with anti cheat works on Linux. And for some of them that have their own launcher like genshin impact, the community has made custom launchers for those games and they work fine. People even got wow working on Linux.

[@m4ko288]

This is false information. The anti-cheat engines delivered with windows-games are NOT designed to do kernel-level inspection on Linux! When they "not activate for linux" like you wrote - its actually the other way around. They DE-ACTIVATE a part of their anti-cheat engine! The anti-cheat is actually doing what it is supposed to do: They see that something is wrong. And the thing that is wrong is that indeed the whole operating system is different and the anti-cheat cant be sure that no cheating is going on. When developers do this they pretty much say "ah f*** it - most cheats are available only on windows - linux users probably are ok for now - lets deactivate deep inspection". And it is VERY REASONABLE that some companies are NOT okay with "losening" their cheat engine. Especially not for the TINY amount of 0,1% of player who use linux.

[@bugs181]

@@m4ko288 You sir are misinformed. BattlEye has been working under Proton for years now. Furthermore, it came out in 2004 and as far as I can see, hasn't had any public updates. This is Valve's statement from 2021. I highly doubt BatlEye has been rebuilt since 2021. "As we mentioned previously, BattlEye on Proton integration has reached a point where all a developer needs to do is reach out BattlEye to enable it for their title. No additional work is required by the developer besides that communication." P.S. Since this release, it literally is just a "checkbox" now. No need to reach out to BattlEye at all.

I've been using bazzite on my ryzen 7700 + 7900xt living room gaming PC for a while now. One huge annoyance is that if I sleep the machine without quitting the game, when it wakes up it'll run at ~ 5 frames per second. I had to quit the game and restart to get it to run at the normal frame rate. This kind of defeats the purpose of having a console like OS where you can sleep and resume easily because I can't do it.

I experienced this too so I turned off sleep in the settings and I can still have it turn off my display. I haven’t left my PC on for long enough mid game yet to see if that worked though.

The video engine on these things supports up to 4k h265, so it should be fine for 4k remote play.

Have a 3090 in that same NUC now but have had to go back to windows big picture mode. Using Rufus you can install windows 11 local and boot straight into windows and big picture mode but Bazzite is still miles better. A S300 or fractal ridge with a better AMD GPU would be amazing on Bazzite.

I'm using it on a regular AMD Ryzen powered notebook, and so far the experience has been great.

@3:24 "NVidia has some bugs so it doesn't work". I believe you're doing Bazzite a disservice here. I'm running a Nvidia Geforce GTX 3080 mobile and it's working flawlessly. I'm glad you bring awareness to the issues of using Nvidia graphics cards with Linux but if I had watched this video BEFORE using Bazzite for the last 3 months, I would have looked for a completely different solution - and dang, would that have been super unfortunate. I LOVE BAZZITE. I have been using Big Picture Mode on a 4K TV almost exclusively. In fact, it led me to other Fedora atomic setups.

It doesn’t run lossless scaling. It also isn’t gonna run AMD fluid motion. AMD’s frame generation technology can be difficult to get running in its most updated form on handheld windows pcs, but it’s certainly gonna do its thing if you choose to go there. However, lossless scaling is “plug & play” & works instantly upon a simple download & install & it blows away anything Linux is capable of. Lossless Scaling will legitimately quadruple your frame rate, causing games that are running at 30fps natively to run at 120fps with the simple press of one button. Installing Linux on a windows pc for the sake of “gaming” doesn’t make one single solitary ounce of sense, I’m afraid.

lossless scaling is not the make or break though for linux or windows. i understand it gives you more frame rate but that won’t stop the other issues that plague windows on handhelds. Sleep mode not working being one of them.

@@sedasauce5030 put it this way if you have 32 gigs of RAM & lossless scaling you can run Returnal with ray tracing on medium and get 100 fps+. You can run basically any game that uses ray tracing at medium ray tracing settings with a little boost from frame gen, but w/o frame gen you likely won’t get there. It’s more then frames, it’s the whole performance-the graphical settings you can use, the resolution you can use, etc,. If you want to dedicate that extra performance beyond simple additional frames you can. I don’t even use sleep mode & it would not equate to such things to me. Sleep mode does not equal or surpass high level performance gains in my book. But to each their own.

"running at 30fps natively to run at 120fps " --> and giving you tons of input delay

Playing triple A titles on a handheld is a meme. Why would I do that if I own an actual gaming rig? I want a console like experience on the go with maximum battery life. That's what Nintendo understands and why everything outsells windows handhelds.

[@edwardlashley3572]

@@DrakonR b/c being tethered to that rig is a relic of the past. I don’t own a “gaming rig” I never wanted a rig that was tethered to cords & bolted in place. I spent 40 years dreaming that you could untether from that stationary rig, from the cords & wall sockets & cumbersome tvs w/ unwieldy connections & do so w/o sacrificing the quality of the games that rig produces. for 40 years anything that was untethered provided versatility but only at the expense of downgraded results. & this is coming from someone who can remember Atari games on store shelves selling for 60 a piece. I’m never going back. There ain’t no chance in hell I would ever buy a PlayStation or Xbox again & I purchased the first 4 PlayStations + the PlayStation 4 pro. Even the typical laptop is too tethered for me. The key is that these handheld devices can all use external battery packs. Try that with most windows pc laptops & see what happens. Those batter packs are mostly designed for iMacs b/c it’s useless when it comes to 99% of laptops.

Steam OS was out before the Steam Deck on Steam Machines it's just that Valve decided to focus on updating the distro for Steam Deck. :/

[@7MBoosted]

Yes and no, I think. There were old versions of SteamOS that came with steam machines, but SteamOS 3 that comes on the deck is completely different from the original SteamOS.

Don't tell me steam os . it cannot even play GTA online
