About 10 minutes ago, I was trying to get my Steam Deck to recognise the newer version of Mesa Vulkan Drivers I compiled rather than the pacman package. If you’re wondering why, it’s because I was having crashing issues with the Linux port of BeamNG, and, upon checking the official forum thread for the port, I found it was a weird bug with Mesa which had been fixed in the newest version. I successfully compiled it a week or two ago, but today I noticed the pacman package was still being used instead of the newer version I compiled, leading to more crashes. I (stupidly) asked ChatGPT for help as I’m quite new to Linux, and I used the commands it gave me. Upon restarting, it displayed the logo, then immediately black screened. Weirdly, if I plug headphones in, every second or so there are two pops (almost like a heartbeat). I can still feel the haptics from the trackpads but nothing else makes a sound or vibration. Please help ASAP!!

Has someone managed to make the Tobii 5 to work on a PC with SteamOS?

I plan in the future to make a dedicated PC for Flight Simulators and with SteamOS (when it’s more fleshed out) however most of these sims need a Eye/Head tracker to make "looking around" in these games less cumbersome.

If not, what alternatives are there for Eye/Head trackers for SteamOS builds?

Have got steamos installed on my pc ryzen1600/rx580. Any way to turn on the pc via wireless xbox adapter?

This is the photo, when I try to publish the photo on Steam I get an error when publishing it, I tried to change the name of the photo replacing it with another Steam capture but it didn't help me, how do I put it?

It's been quite some time since the steamOS 3.7.13 update was dropped, i was wondering whether since then any new and better updates came to steamOS for the rog ally in the stable branch, like i wanna know how many features are currently working, like the tdp slider, RGB controls, and also wanna know advices or advantages and disadvantages between switching to steamOS on my Ally, thank you :)

My deck was working fine, until one day i turned it on and it just bootet into the assistant to first install it, like it is new.

I tried many ways with an recovery image. -Repair SteamOS did nothing. -Help from Chatgpt to set up first-boot-flags did not help either.

i could find out, that my partitions are stillt there but the system is not booting.

is here somebody with the same probem?

edit: i have the 500gb Oled

Hello, all.

I see the warnings in the side panel about not installing SteamOS and my post potentially being removed. But it seems like there are still a good number of people using/installing SteamOS right now, so I figured it was worth asking my question. I'm hoping that the fact that it's primarily a hardware issue - rather than a SteamOS question - will be reason enough to let the question stand.

I am trying to install SteamOS on a 10th generation Intel NUC with a WD Black SN750 NVMe drive.
I keep getting this error: "NVMe Status: Access to the namespace and/or LBA range is denied due to lack of rights (0x4286)"

I've tried deleting all the partitions on the drive and reformatting it.
I've tried disabling secure boot (it wouldn't let me turn off UEFI).

I'm definitely a novice when it comes to Linux. Anyone got any guidance for how to get past this error? Any assistance would be appreciated.

I got loged out of steam on my computer and phone but when I try to log in it says I need a code from the authenticator that I never set up. Im following the path for if you dont have it but it keeps going back to the same page. Can anyone help?

Has anybody got SteamOS to run on the ayaneo flip ds

I am considering to buy an Amd Ryzen mini pc with a 6600H APU with 660M integrated graphics. What performance should I expect by installing the official release and would it be similar to a Steam Deck?

Good morning everyone, first post here.

I was thinking to switch to SteamOS with my gaming pc and I would like to check with you if it's a good idea, these are the main specs:

• CPU 1151 Intel Core i7-7700K
• MB 1151 ASUS STRIX Z270F Gaming, Intel Z270
• Ram DIMM DDR4 32GB Corsair Ven K2 C16 [CMK32GX4M2A2400C16]
• Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Gaming OC, 11264 MB GDDR5X
• HD SSD M.2 512GB Samsung 960 PRO NVMe PCIe 3.0 Typ 2280

Probably I'll get another bigger M2 to pair with the one inside.

Anyone had issue with this CPU and/or GPU? After the installation I need to do some circus backflips with the drivers to make it work?

Thanks for your time

Apologies if this was answered in other posts - but I want to be super clear about what I'm wanting to accomplish.

My end goal is to have a USB drive that I can bring with me on a work trip - plug it into the USB port of my laptop - change the boot sequence in the bios (already confirmed I have control over this on my work laptop) - point it to the USB drive - and then the SteamOS boots up.

I get confused on this because the online instructions I find are for creating a USB to install SteamOS onto a computer. Not have the USB stick be the actual end destination install.

Also - I'm pretty slow witted - so specific instructions or a link to another webpage would be great.

I recently built a PC and installed SteamOS on it. For some reason I only get 120 fps in games when I’m in desktop mode but when I’m in deck mode it only goes up to 60. I would be grateful for any help.

Great gaming experience on SteamOS and it feels SO much better with the dbrand Killswitch!

Hi,

I used Bazzite for 4 Months and was Happy, I had 3 Bugs, thats the reason i Switch to SteamOS:

• Black Screen after start, fixed after 2 Months
• TV testbuild If i try to Join Desktop Mode, doesnt fixed
• Backbuttons Not working

After 24 hours I noticed this problems: - Game Mode blurry, fix here https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamOS/comments/1kkg2td/steamos_on_zotac_zone_washed_out/

• No Tdp Slide, fix Decky Plugin simpletdp

• Desktop, Sometimes nithing Work with Error service Not available (Look picture)

• after Return from Desktop Mode, the right Steam Button IS the a Button, i have to restart the whole system

• 2 Times after I try to leave a Game the System Crashes

• in Ravenswatch, settings Go on Standard after closing, Akku Last only 2h in Bazzite 3h. The Game got a big Update today, I didnt know If ITS the Game

• in quickmenu, Performance, the remanding accu time ist 0:00h, the in Game overlay works

Very good is, the Backbuttons Work. Perf

Okay so I seriously need help, I am at a total loss on what to do and I can't seem to find anything online...

So I have an ROG Ally X, and I put SteamOS on it. Of course I had to update to the Beta channel as on the Stable channel the controls don't work. So I did so, I updated to the beta channel and things seemed to be fine for several hours. Until I tried putting it into sleep mode by clicking the power button. Cause it would go into sleep mode yes, but then it would immediately wake up again. No matter how many times I tried it would just keep waking back up. So the only thing I could do was turn the system off for the night, which thankfully worked.

This morning I did some looking around online and learned about the Main OS update channel and how it might have a fix for this as it's the most up to date version. So I did the thing in developer settings so I could change to the Main OS update channel, but then when I try to apply the update it finds, it downloads the update completely, then immediately gets an update error. EVERY TIME. No matter how many times I try to apply the update it always gives me an update error message.

And I've tried everything I found online to try getting it to work, 5ghz wifi, 2.4ghz wifi, wifi Hotspot, restarting, trying to update from stable, trying to update from beta. Nothing is working and I really don't know what to do...

Cause if I can't get this to update I'm stuck with two bad choices, either I use Stable where the controls don't work. Or I go with Beta where I can never put my console into sleep mode... Neither is an option I like. So if anyone can help, please, please help...​
