Well thanks for all these infos.

I guess I’d need to improve my knowledge for such things.

Well I’ve just learned that you already had FSR 1-2 in Steam OS without adding any plugin. So I guess what I was talking about is already there but I’m just not using it😅

I’m tempted by all these frane gen mods, but I don’t want to install decky loader for now as Steam Os already feels a bit too beta for me compared to want I’m used to on Gnome or Playstation.

I hope it’ll be officialy brought to Steam Os at one point.

Not at all. I used to be a Playstation gamer so I guess I’m not used to mods😅

My only modification is to lock it at 30fps and 5 TDP for better battery life.

Mass Effect 1 as the Deck is perfect for enjoying these moderatly old games 👍

On my wifés 2012 MacBook Pro, I had the same broadcom related problem and installing Rpm fusion solved it https://ostechnix.com/how-to-enable-rpm-fusion-repository-in-fedora-rhel/

I guess on the Steam Deck that would mean having to leave game mode to launch desktop mode except if you could launch dosbox as a non steam game.

I’m also struggling to get Earthworm Jim from GOG working on my Steam Deck through heroic, so I’m following your journey with attention.

What’s really annoying in my case is that it worked without installing anything except Heroic at the beginning and now it doesn’t anymore and I don’t know what change is responsibles for the situation…

I’m trying to avoid buying from companies on the palestinian boycott list, but I already know a Gears of War remake playable on Steam Deck is gonna be one exception.

It’s Signal and Threema leadership as they were saying it would compromise their security level and would allow Meta to gather information about their users.

That’s a risk I’d be willing to take as long as it’s opt in. For now I still kind of have Whatsapp Business as kind of read only application for some groups I can’t convince to move to another app…

My cloud provider (kDrive by Infomaniak) is « green » but I have to admit I wouldn’t know how to self host on it even if I could.

Thanks, I know about it but it’s above my technical level and self hosting means having a computer running 24/7 which I don’t want.

I think Signal they (Signal and Threema) missed an opportunity to gain users by allowing an opt-in compatibility with Whatsapp.

Agreed as I’m using a Surface Go 1 with typecover (keyboard) as a daily driver with Fedora.

I’d get a used one to avoid giving money to Microsoft.

Yeah I’m using Whatsapp Business for groups I can’t convince to move (it allows me to have an automated message to say I won’t answer on Whatsapp), Signal for people who could move but won’t pay anything and Threema for almost everyone else including my family.

I wish Signal or Threema would allow a selected opt in interoperability with Whatsapp so that I could really ditch it.

I’ve read 70% of your guide and it seems great. I just hope people (not on Lemmy) will easily find it on the web when looking for help.

Good work for our community 👍

I guess it’s consumerism and people always wanting more.

I’d be happy if the Steam Deck 2 wasn’t released until 2028 as I’ve just got my used LCD in 2025.

Other manufacturers adopting Steam OS is a great sign, but it’d be nice to still get a really polished, maybe less powerful, device from Valve.

Well good because the Steam Deck ain’t old yet.

I think in 2028, getting a Steam Deck 2 would be nice for the people who want something more powerful and fresh.

2026 would be too early for my taste.

Depending on how powerful the Steam Deck 2 is and its ease of use when docking it, it might become my only gaming system (Steam Deck and Playstation 5 for now).

Let’s hope it’s gonna find a manufacturer to build a TV with it, or at least to open its bootloader.

Interesting.

Does every smart TV has a hotel mode?

I have a Philips 55PUS7394 and I couldn’t find one by quickly searching on the web.
