Bazzite is an alternative operating system for the Steam Deck and for Desktop PCs that closely emulates SteamOS, with numerous additional features and improvements on top. We use immutable Fedora as a base, and allow packages to be layered and kept through updates unlike stock SteamOS. You can even print and change the language from English if you want.
That’s interesting, I am thinking of a console-like use for a pc in the home theater
I know someone who uses bazzite-deck for such a purpose, it works well.
Seems interesting. Would like some screenshots though. Does this suppose Game Mode on the deck? What is the input like? I have many questions.
Screenshots are on the GitHub, https://bazzite.gg/
There’s a KDE and GNOME version, the deck release has gamemode and Valve’s KDE themes/similar themes for GNOME. It’s functionally identical.
The installer will even offer to set up EmuDeck and Decky Loader for you.
Thanks. I looked on the repo but I guess not closely enough. This seems like a really interesting project. It’s too new for me to be comfortable installing on my deck but I’m definitely going to keep and eye on this.
Looks very cool, might have to check this out. Can it be booted from a microSD card on the Steam Deck?
It can, but I wouldn’t recommend doing it for long
Best to just create a copy of your internal storage with clonezilla and install bazzite in the internal storage
I tried installing this but both signing the install and the arch sandbox as well as several other setup steps in the bazzite setup would fail looking for a justfile.
Late reply but all of this has been fixed, sorry for the headache.
Oh cool, is there anyway mount a secondary drive? Whenever I try to mount a secondary drive, steam doesn’t seem to see it when using the steam arch install.
Just make sure it’s mounted in fstab, same as any other distro. If it’s a permanent drive I would mount it to
/var/mnt/ChangeMeInteresting, okay I’ll try it again when I have a chance.
Does this support older Ryzen APUs? What about rx 6000?
Both PCs were having issues with holoiso and chimeraos
Should support both, but there’s an upstream kernel bug at the moment that can cause certain RDNA GPUs to lock at the lowest clock speed at certain resolutions and refresh rates. Just something to look out for
Thanks for the response. I’ll check it out!
