This Tiny X86 RYZEN Powered SBC Runs Steam Deck OS Like A Pro!

[@jamesgordon1446]

Remember the days that cyberpunk would bring gaming pcs to their knees. Now we can run it on a credit card.

[@SweBeach2023]

Cyberpunk ran on Xbox One, so slow tech from 2013.

[@thatscardo313]

thats wild when you think about it i remember when cyberpunk wouldn't even run on the ps4

[@brokeandtired]

@@SweBeach2023 Ran badly on Xbox one and PS4...it got pulled for a reason. Though it did run great on the Xbox Series S.

The board deserves a 3D-printed case 😊

[@Crustenscharbap]

I really want a fanless case for this. Like an Akasa Touring or an Cirrus7 Incus. This can cool 50-60W. Perfect for this APU. Great graphics, still small and absolutely siltent!

[@TommyCrosby]

That would turn this "SBC" into your average MiniPC.

We are really in a new golden age of PC gaming, this time on Linux.

[@fredsas12]

Developers are making games for Linux now?

[@TutonicMonkey]

Not until the anti-cheat software is supported for multiplayer allowing the bigger titles to work. That will be the day...

[@SignalChange]

@@fredsas12 Bazzite is a linux distro, steam is built in, it runs proton which intercepts directx calls and converts it to vulkan, allowing you to run windows games. Sometimes a feature here or there is missing, sometimes the games have better performance than windows, there are thousands of compatible games - bazzite is very close to steamdeck os. (based on arch)

[@GamerNubi]

@@TutonicMonkey anti-cheat just a joke at this point, but still we need some kinda anti cheat for online games on linux

Literally the um790 pro!! But at least it's decent specs in a small form factor 😂

Nice work man, tyny pc running best games in linux, very smooth and alternative solutions pc/gaming. New era to toydesks 😂

[@denvera1g1]

5:00 Of note, just because the CPU can run DIMM/SODIMM at 8000, doesnt mean the SODIMM itself will run at that speed, the problem with these small form factors is cooling, to run DIMM or SODIMM at 8000 (which my 8700G can do in 1:1 with MCLK) you're looking at each stick using between 10 and 20w of power, the problem is that these small form factor layouts almost always stack the RAM on top of each other so that of the 4 sides with RAM chips on them, only one side of one stick is getting cooled, and generally not well because there isnt normally dedicated airflow for the RAM, the reason my DDR5 is at 8000 and not on fire is because it has a fan blowing down directly on them with plenty of space between them for air to flow over their heatsinks, which SODIMM generally does not have.

[@braindead2813]

Why do you never talk about how the latency feels on the frame gen?

[@maxmouse3]

Amazing! I wish Valve made SD OS public but this small computer is great!

[@lifelike8418]

Finally something we always have dreamed of

It is basically Mini PC without enclosure exept it has 3 ssd slots but non removable RAM. At least LattePanda has pins for programming same as raspberry pi and other SBC for diy.

Man, maybe it is time for a Steam Console.

[@sillyduck123]

There was and it failed

[@GardeDuCoeur]

In 2 generations, we will reach 1080P High with almost all games... 🤯🤤

[@Outright_Table]

The FSR3 framegen implementation in Cyberpunk patch 2.13 is bugged. The devs set the full screen vignette effect as a UI mask so the game is only generating new frame info in a very tiny circle in the center of the screen. It will show a high framerate number but is mostly just displaying the same frame twice. Not worth enabling FSR FG in that game until the devs fix it since you are just adding latency for no visual improvement.

[@jordansherwood7371]

someone is going to design a sweet r/cyberdeck style device with this

[@markgoda7342]

thats such a nice tiny thing i love it :) put an nvme to oculink adapter and connect a gpu to it :D i would like to see how it works :)

[@zavlqaDIprab3DrublsU]

I will absolutely buy this.

[@kanjyro]

the GEM10 AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS mini PC is the exact same thing, lay out and all, if you want something really crazy, there's a GEM12 mini PC. only difference is its in a case

[@MonsterCreations662]

Mobile egpu with this sleek beast?

[@AlwaysBolttheBird]

What laptop is on the desk in the beginning. That trackpad looks gorgeous

[@Fyshtako]

I've been putting off trying Bazzite on my ROG Ally, if I wanna do that I'm gonna have to buy at least a 1TB SSD for it. No way I'm splitting the already small 500GB of space between 2 OS, Windows itself takes up so much already. I might get one and do it once that official SteamOS support comes out for Ally.

[@jasonmataafa5983]

@etaprime do you think you could add an oculink adapter to one of those m.2 slots and add an EGPu, that would be cool if that would work.

[@RoyOlsen-uf3tp]

Great idea

[@aidenmcgeehan428]

That's what I was thinking too, I really hope he tries it. Or at least addresses it. I know it probably won't be great for high end GPUs but having any upgrade path is nice

@kevinlast3874 Depends on if you're a bird in the hand vs 2 in the bush kind of guy. The Steamdeck and the minisforum um690 are available now with similarish specs.

[@zezba9000]

I want to see a video of Bazzite running on non-Arc Intel iGPUs. Particularly 11th and 12th gen because of handhelds that used that. But also older ones too. Like does 4th-10th gen work?

[@iriefunkadelica]

You mentioned in your first video it has USB4. Can you try how far you can get with high and mid range eGPUs? Thanks!

[@jordan-mn6yy]

no, the m.2 slots that's x4 is better suited for egpu than the usb4

[@KVenturi]

Can you do a deep dive Bazzite review like using it as a daily driver not only for gaming?

[@Kalasklister1337]

You can look at any KDE Plasma version 6.x review to get an idea. It does not matter much whether you use ubuntu or arch or fedora as a base, KDE will work pretty much the same. Steam deck also uses KDE. It's also very easy to just try it out on your desktop without installation using Balena Etcher. No need to install, just follow instructions and have a test drive for yourself to see if its for you. Unlike windows any linux distro can be tried out before installing.

[@pootispiker2866]

[@rastamouse7861]

Hey ETA, remember your old school video where you cobbled together a no solder raspberry pi handheld for inexperienced tinkerers? I think it would be a fun video if you attempted something similar with this board if it is even feasible.

[@shadowhacker27]

That looks like an amazing 80 dollars to spend.

[@theburntcrumpet8371]

It’s cool but I swear some people simply forget they can dock their steam deck

[@jimverhulst6]

I really wonder if changing the thermal past to liquid metal or a more aggressive fan curve, or with a different cooler, if you could get more performance out of it in 54watt modeI, also wonder if there's a possibility to change the power budget percentage, as in, giving more power budget to the cpu or gpu.

[@pootispiker2866]

Liquid metal is stupid in a permanent installation. It also needs to be designed with that material in mind or any amount of excess or pumpout will kill the board

[@jimverhulst6]

Well i was more wondering what the maximum performance will be like, not keeping in mind the permanent fixture. Plus there's stuff that will keep the liquid metal from leaking out

[@sharma_harsh]

I suggest to use Thermal Grizzly Kryosheet. It's permanent and never needs changing!

[@NordicFrog]

Why won't Valve just make their own traditional couch console from this?

[@denvera1g1]

Do you ever try the real SteamOS on these? I like trying and am always surprised which hardware works, and what doesnt. Take my 6800HS based mini PC. Sleep just does not work, but on my 7840HS it does, but Wifi and BT dont and i am 99% sure the GPU is in limp mode though i had a need for this PC so i didnt leave SteamOS on for long.

[@zerotacg]

Ventoy and you'll never need to create a bootable usb stick again :)

[@Chris-cf1hs]

How does it compare to the steam deck?

[@Emdey]

is there a reason why the gpu is not at 99% load? bottleneck somewhere?

[@TwisQ]

Do you know a case thats large enough to fit 201 mm gpus?

[@Space_Reptile]

if only it came w/ a case, or an STL file for one

[@raygunz333]

Just wondering if that's dual channel memory

[@dhahb]

and where can I buy it anyway?

[@MrRorosao]

Calling an Linux PC with steam installed in it an steam OS is one Hella of a stretch!

[@Dockotis]

I agree. SteamOS has some of the security that requires the commands: sudo steamos-readonly disable To install other packages from repos, and mod the system files, on command line... Then you have: sudo steamos-readonly enable ... To lock it back down. Not to mention all the other points of SteamOS... It isn't just Steam and Proton that make SteamOS what it is

[@sadravin1]

price?

I don't know the name of this mini PC, i don't know ehre to get it, how much it cost.... But seems nice, i keep looking for something that is real, has a name and a company where i can buy it

[@JBot8888]

I have a trigkey s5 mini PC and I think I'm just going to give up trying to get bazzite running on it. Tried a bunch of times with HDD through extra SATA port and no matter what after installing it just goes to black screen and does nothing. Finally Got it running off of a Samsung usbc drive and the next time I booted it up, wifi wouldn't work no matter what I do

[@oswaldjh]

I have a spare AMD PC that would suit this OS. Some have claimed that anti cheat software in some games doesn't play well with Linux. Have you run into any games that wouldn't play for this or any other reason?
