Hello there. I found out that Arch is currently experiencing a breakage to all Valve games due to pushing out LLVM 16. Bazzite runs Steam in an Arch container, right? Will this affect Bazzite?

I'd need to look into this, but the desktop version would be affected, the deck version would not

Kyle Gospo•8/30/23, 7:27 PM

I've had llvm16 for a while though and no issues, might be specific to older games like Tf2

VValerie You can install it right now if you DIY it, but I think there is a PR to add it ...

Does the deck version run Steam differently?

has it even been a year since that glibc incident with EAC games that affected rolling release distros?

tryhardsoccermomswag•8/30/23, 7:57 PM

loool

tryhardsoccermomswag•8/30/23, 7:58 PM

im going to install flatpak steam and set that up as a backup

AAlex&Indie pr?

Valerie•8/30/23, 8:02 PM

Pull request. Basically a "Can you add this? Here's the code.". I don't think it's ready yet though.

should this be added to the main just documentation? https://universal-blue.org/guide/just/

I was surprised when I tried this theme and it still worked lmao

dnkmmr•8/30/23, 8:33 PM

I've noticed that there is a game patch part of the justfile. What if we had this https://github.com/solsticegamestudios/GModCEFCodecFix for the gmod players (patches 64 bit version so it can run)

Kyle Gospo•8/30/23, 8:34 PM

great call, there's a 2nd part to this as well I'd like to do

Kyle Gospo•8/30/23, 8:34 PM

GMOD's engine is new enough that it can do dxvk native instead of OpenGL

Kyle Gospo•8/30/23, 8:34 PM

it just doesn't come with the needed files

dnkmmr•8/30/23, 8:43 PM

Just wondering, do you need a keyboard to select boot options in the grub menu on the steam deck?

Kyle Gospo•8/30/23, 8:43 PM

I believe dpad+a works there

Kyle Gospo•8/30/23, 8:43 PM

does during install

KKyle Gospo does during install

dnkmmr•8/30/23, 8:43 PM

oh did not know that. Is a keyboard required for the installer?

Kyle Gospo•8/30/23, 8:43 PM

yes, since you need to type a password and all that

Vosian•8/30/23, 8:51 PM

I've just done a "just install-nix" and now I have nix packaging set up on bazzite. What documentation is there for this use of this on bazzite? There's a lot of stuff out there and I'm unsure where to begin.

nix-env --install <package>nix-env --install <package> in a host terminal. package names can be found here - https://search.nixos.org/packages

tryhardsoccermomswag•8/30/23, 8:56 PM

although im going to be honest, im not sure about anything else in regards to nix packages

Vosian•8/30/23, 9:03 PM

Ok. Thank you. Unfortunately, nix-env --install bravenix-env --install brave only returns error: selector 'brave' matches no derivationserror: selector 'brave' matches no derivations However, if I do nix profile install nixpkgs#bravenix profile install nixpkgs#brave that installs brave. Then if I want to uninstall, I have to find what it's referred to by doing nix profile list |grep bravenix profile list |grep brave and on the basis of that do nix profile remove legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.bravenix profile remove legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.brave. So I guess that's the right way to do it???? If anyone else has any recommendations, I'd love to hear.

Vosian•8/30/23, 9:07 PM

Maybe I will try out fleek also. That looks interesting. I'm not quite sure what the differences are between using the aforementioned way to install nix and fleek is.

tryhardsoccermomswag•8/30/23, 9:08 PM

yeah im going to ping some of the nix people hold on. @crushbutimbanned @dnkmmr69420 how would one properly use Nix on Bazzite? I can edit the documentation to reflect this

Valerie•8/30/23, 9:15 PM

I'm not 1000% sure, that's why I've not documented it.

I typically install by running nix-env --install appnix-env --install app
I typically uninstall by running nix-env --uninstall appnix-env --uninstall app
I typically update by running nix-env --upgrade (optional: app)nix-env --upgrade (optional: app)
and delete old generations by running nix-collect-garbage -dnix-collect-garbage -d

Kyle Gospo•8/30/23, 9:15 PM

Bare in mind there's nothing crazy custom going on here

Kyle Gospo•8/30/23, 9:15 PM

We're just offering the determinate Nix installer

Kyle Gospo•8/30/23, 9:16 PM

Anything that applies there applies here

Kyle Gospo•8/30/23, 9:16 PM

Probably best to link to their documentation

All those examples seem very clear to me, but unfortunately doing something like nix-env --install bravenix-env --install brave just yields error: selector 'brave' matches no derivationserror: selector 'brave' matches no derivations Am I putting in the wrong package name? Based on https://search.nixos.org/packages?channel=23.05&show=brave&from=0&size=50&sort=relevance&type=packages&query=brave I'm not sure what else to specify.

Kyle Gospo•8/30/23, 9:24 PM

Any reason you're using nix over the flatpak?

Kyle Gospo•8/30/23, 9:24 PM

I can take a look at this as soon as I'm back

Kyle Gospo•8/30/23, 9:24 PM

Just curious

I'm just using brave as an example. To see if I understand how to use this.

Hmm?
