@@tray84 How is Bazzite on a Steam Deck? I personally never used or ever touched a Steam Deck until yesterday ironically. My brother's buddy wanted to share some game keys he got from a humble bundle which was nice and I only could give a chromecast to them. Anywho, he had a Steam Deck and wanted me to use it cause my brother told him about how I was fully into the Linux's Gamescope Sessions that is the Steam Deck from Chimera OS I tested last year. Sorry for the long ramble. Just wanna know how Bazzite is on the deck. Not that I wanna switch from using a larger desktop. I am just interested what the difference would be from Steam OS.

[@Kashim_o]

​@@grizzlyindustries7593I have it installed on my deck. From a functionality standpoint it appears to be identical with some added benefits. I haven't noticed anything missing yet. The big differences are all in the background. Steamos is a custom immutable version of arch, while bazzite is based on an immutable branch of fedora, though the way it's set up bazzite technically takes the win here since with the stock steamos, if you unlock the root file system and make changes or install anything in that manner, it'll just get wiped the next time steamos updates, bazzite has a way to maintain immutability while also not wiping things that you install. Bazzite also gives you the option to quickly install a bunch of the things people tend to run on stock steamos, right on first boot. I didn't like it's stability a year ago and reverted back to steamos at the time, but I reinstalled it on my deck a couple weeks ago and have been liking it a lot.

0:53 Minecraft java is fully compatible with the steam deck. And in fact, it runs way better because of its linux kernel. Minecraft bedrock can be enjoyed using an unofficial launcher(using google play store version). Yes, Minecraft is not available through steam. But can be downloaded and installed whilst in desktop mode. And added as a non steam game. I understand if you’re bored of the single player vanilla gameplay. But there are so many mods for Minecraft, notable ones being: Create, Valkrian skyes, realistic physics mod, terralift, shaders. And not to mention multiplayer. Minecraft is not a kids game. It’s a game for people that have creativity. That mostly happens to be children. But there are plenty of older people that still have that.

It's just insane to me how affordable Steam Decks are. They have a touch-screen, battery, controllers... and they're still cheaper than your mid-range minipc selection. A refurbished Steam Deck at $279 is just an insane value. I really wish we could get the Steam Console that's the same thing as a Steam Deck 64... but without the touch-screen, battery, or controllers... and then hopefully a reduced price. That would be bonkers.

That's because Valve is selling them below cost, recouping the money through game sales, where other shops can't afford to do that.

@@gmitchell_tc It's stupid, but it's what most consoles have done for a long time now.

I flashed an old Toshiba Satellite laptop with Linux Mint 22 with Cinnamon, and it was able to handle PSX, and PSP so far from testing, and it is my Playstation Satellite.

Eventually, might go the route of external harddrive for the games, but haven't gotten around to that yet or bought an external HDD.

[@mattbtv]

I just installed bazzite on my SER5 MAX nvme, keeping Batocera on the sata ssd. So far so good. Added benefit of having both drives in is that, both being linux, I can access the ROMS from the batocera share partition should I want to run emulation / emu-deck-ish things on the bazzite side. I also made sure to up the VRAM in bios from default (16gb ram set to 4gb vram, 32gb set to 8gb vram). Amazing versatility in a tiny footprint.

[@swordofomens5202]

Thanks for the tutorial. It gave me the push I needed to set up my own. Loads of mini PCs available, with specs that surpass that of the steam deck. For quite a bit less. Now I've basically got a clone of my steam deck, that's permanently set up where I'd previously have to dock my steam deck. I've got both the steam deck and mini pc set up to clover dual boot; windows, steam os/bazzite (sharing 1tb each of a 2tb ssd), and batocera (swapping a loaded out 2tb micro sd, between the two computers). If you're not too concerned about high fps and maxed out settings, on a huge screen. It's a cost effective solution to get the steam deck experience, where you'd usually play console or pc.

[@gdenn7766]

Do you have any examples of mini pcs that are less expensive than but have better performance than the steam deck??? I got a Steam Deck but returned it for a PS5 because I wanted to catch up on all of the AAA Sony exclusives from the last couple years. Would love to have a Steam machine to hookup to the tv for indie titles, but couldn't justify the cost of the SD OLED

[@swordofomens5202]

@gdenn7766 any mini pc with =\>16gb ram, and an apu equivalent to a 4450U. Will match the steam decks performance, as a steam machine using bazzite. If you search for a mini pc with those specs, you'll find a few examples quite a bit cheaper than the steam deck. Which would be more than sufficient for a retro setup on a TV. But if it was me, I would step the specs up a bit. For example, a mini pc with a 7840u (such as the tiny minisforum em780) may cost a bit more than a standard steam deck. But will out perform it, as a bazzite steam machine. You could compromise a little, to get the cost down. But still out perform the steam deck. searching for a mini pc with a 7840HS (the gmktec k6, for example. Costs quite a bit less than a steam deck). Obviously. A super cheap sff pc, with dedicated amd gpu (as old/low as an rx 550), would outperform the steam deck, on bazzite. But looses the extremely small form factor of a mini pc. I'm guessing that you're after a tiny form factor. Or I'd be suggesting a cheap, older gen itx build. Or splashing out on a decent processor board such as the minisforum bd790i, to put in a cheap tiny itx case (as this would allow future upgrade with any amd gpu of your choosing, to become a very capable pc/bazzite steam machine. If you ever so wished). Since making this comment. I have actually come to another solution, that suited my requirements better. Wanting a more seamless transition between handheld and lounge TV gaming. I've made my steam deck dock, similar to a Nintendo switch. With gpu acceleration while docked. So I don't have to have multiple devices set up. The way I did it is quite convoluted, as I wanted to keep the usb port at the top of the deck free. So had to mess around with a m.2 to pcie adapter, into a pcie to dual m.2 adaptor. So that storage can go in one m.2 slot, and an m.2 to oculink port in the other. Which docks into a tiny case, housing a gpu (an rx 6600 I had available) and power supply. But a cheaper and easier option. Would be to simply replace the steam deck storage with a m.2 to oculink port (this requires cutting a small notch in the backplate of the Steam Deck, on the most central air intake vent, to allow the oculink port to be accessible). And use a USB m.2 dongle, with power passthrough, for your storage (such as the qwiizlab). Which sticks to the back of the deck with a magnet, while still allowing charging. Then you can use the steam deck as a normal handheld. Then plug it into any amd gpu and power supply setup, via oculink. Boot into windows steam big picture mode (steam os doesn't current support an external gpu). And play gpu accelerated gaming on a TV. Using clover to boot between the windows and steam os partitions on my 2tb m.2, simply worked, when switching it to the USB dongle (without any reinstall or boot partition shenanigans). And left the sd slot free to keep my batocera setup untouched (which works great docked also). Etaprime have a good video on setting this up. The only difference is using the m.2 to usb for storage, so I could just switch over my existing m.2 drive, and keep my sd free for batocera. It was a fun, and relatively cheap bit of tinkering. That has resulted in a very convenient setup, to have decent handheld and console like gaming, on a single device.

[@gdenn7766]

@swordofomens5202 bro. This is incredible. Thanks so much for the write up. Most of it is total gibberish to me, but I love the ideas! I don’t really care too much about form factor and size, I’ll have the device plugged into my tv so I wouldn’t even mind a tower sitting on the floor next to the tv console. But I just don’t have the time, energy, or knowledge to research and source parts, so buying a prebuilt mini pc seemed like the cheapest, easiest solution. If the rumored Steam Console releases with a price/power ratio better than the PS5 slim at $380, I’ll buy it in a heartbeat and sell the PS5. So I’m kind of just looking for something to keep me in the Steam ecosystem until then. The only things I wanted the PS5 for was to play Spider-Man, Helldivers, and Horizon in high quality. I put over 50 hours into Helldivers 2 on the Steam Deck, at the lowest quality, in 30fps before I just couldn’t take it anymore. But man I loved the Deck for older stuff and Steam-only games. Do you think the old itx build you mentioned could be done off Amazon and for cheaper than the OLED Steam Deck at $550? I’d be willing to get a few major parts off eBay if I knew exactly what part to look for and how much to pay for a “good deal”

How does Bazzite compare to rival distros like ChimeraOS? It looks pretty solid. If these gaming distros keep maturing, they might actually be better choices for power users because you can presumably make changes to the underlying OS (and install more software) in ways that SteamOS's immutable file system stops you doing.

Okay your mom joke made me fall off my exercise ball at the gym. 😂

[@fernandezaguilar3229]

Can it twitch stream and play? New games like Space Marines 2?

[@Logan-tw2jc]

What about ChimeraOs?

[@beverchakus4441]

So freaking cool!!!!

[@PercyPanleo]

with the audio thing on my Steam Machine (Not a mini PC, gonna be around XBONE sized once I finish the case) I went the nuclear route of disabling the audio jacks in the BIOS lol

[@EremittV]

The Steam Deck can run minecraft just fine. The java version has a mod that adds controller support and the Google Play Store version has controller support right out of the box! Doesn´t mean you HAVE to play it. Unless?

When are you going to make your own OS called the Zazzite?

[@TechDweeb]

Amazing idea! Now I just need to learn how to program and distribute a linux distro. How hard could it be?

[@paperoverflow]

@@TechDweeb All I know is type sudo in the Linux terminal... sudo zapp updazzle... ⌨️📺🤖

[@paperoverflow]

@TechDweeb Actually... I think you may want to postpone the OS project aaaaand do a Gameboy game with Gameboy Studio instead!!!! I've just started doing so myself (while doing other games with Godot, Pixel game maker MV, Rpg Maker XP, and trying Pico 8 game maker aaaaand tipping my toes in tic-80... [and honorable mention to rpg paper maker... {and there are others, but the list would be long}]) Anyways, you might get hooked a little bit. I thought, "Hey, maybe... just maybe you'd make your own Dweeb Corps game, a Zazz Bros or Legend of Dweezil Dazzle or something a like, OR make a video special about game makers..." 👾🟥🟧🟫⬛🟪 var pixilated greetings += true

@TechDweeb Hey, how about postponing the OS project, and do a Gameboy game with Gameboy studio instead? 👾🟪🟧🟥🟫

[@philjohnston1064]

Have you tried Emudeck on the desktop Bazzite?

[@DNAMobileGaming]

BUT Dweeb why can't we play with it at the park no internal battery? Paired with the DNA Duo this would be epic!

[@DanielOliveiraViolao]

Nice, man!

[@lilBugger35]

0:44 What game is that?

[@maxx00smit]

[@jackipiegg]

Does bluetooth controller wake up work on this?

[@neccros007]

Who makes the controller you use in this video?
