I don't have a steamdeck; is it possible to run Bazzite on a desktop workstation?

Hyes if you have an amd gpu (if you mean to have gamescope-session)
Hif you mean to use as desktop only with the rest of the bazzite stuff then the desktop image is fine
SYes, thank you I found the desktop image
Huse the nvidia image if you have an nvidia gpu obviously
MI figured out a way to avoid using EasyEffects and Xvfb and instead just use pipewire’s convolver plugin via .config/pipewire/pipewire.conf.d/convolver.conf and an impulse file titled neutral.wav
This way, you can set convolver as your default sink and you’ll get boosted audio at a system level. The only issue I’m running into is trying to get it to work on Fedora (both Nobara and Bazzite).
When you change the volume with the hardware volume buttons in ChimeraOS while in Game Mode, the volume for the virtual sink gets adjusted accordingly. If you try it on Nobara (and I presume Bazzite as well), changing the volume with the hardware buttons or the UI both don’t work and instantly set the volume back to 100%. Any clues as to why this happens?

Myou avoid the performance drain you’d get using easyeffects/jamesdsp this way, plus it launches consistently rather than relying on an Xvfb server
Hsounds like the same method we do for virtual surround
Mit probably is based off the same .conf file template
Hprobably
Hjust different wav file
Mdoes volume control work in game mode while using that virtual sink on Bazzite? If so then it narrows it down to a Nobara issue exclusively.
Hno idea, my headset doesnt play super nicely with virtual surround sometimes and causes a loud ass boom so i disabled it after i wrote the just recipe
Hand not at home atm so i cant check
Mcheers, appreciate the extra info. this is what I’ve been using on my Go, you move the pipewire folder to .config and make sure the path to your .wav file is correct in the .conf file.
Mif the volume control issue gets sorted this could be huge. I never liked relying on easyeffects and Xvfb for a system wide solution
Hi wont be able to test anything until uh let me check my calendar when i will be back home and actually have some free time, i swear this year has been the worst for scheduling for me
Hthursday
Mno rush on it. been a long running project for me, I have a feeling the fix is going to be something very silly and minor.
Mmight figure it out anyway. I just hate how confusing Pipewire and Pulse Audio can be
Hi like pipewire more than pulse even though i have been using virtual sinks and dumb audio setup since 2009 with pulse 
Hbut i like how easy it is to replicate my setup now in pipewire compared to pulse
Hwhen i get around to test this it wont be on a handheld though, i will just have to use hardware buttons on my keyboard
Mchanging the volume doesn’t work via the UI either in Game Mode so that probably won’t matter
Mas soon as it registers the new volume level it resets itself to 100% in my own testing
MI tried rebinding the hardware volume buttons to pactl commands so that’s when I noticed how the volume was getting reset regardless
Mmy own testing has been on my legion go
Mchimera game mode seems to let you set the virtual sink volume directly via the buttons or UI so I want to replicate that
Mbut the pipewire chain looks identical to each other when using qpwgraph

I have tested various filter chain modules and they all work great, except when i switch to custom sink i automatically loose control over volume. For...

DAnyone know how I can tell if my system is being updated? I'm on
bazzite-deckublue-updateublue-updaterpm-ostree status
KYou can directly run
rpm-ostree updateMake sure you're on :latest
K:38 is EOL
Dyep I'm on :latest
Dokay, running
rpm-ostree update
Tdid you by chance use the offline ISO?
Toh probably not since
ublue-updatewell kind of lol
Dnah it wasn't an offline iso. but I just noticed that ublue-update doesn't mention anything about updating the system, it only talks about flatpak, distrobox, brew etc.

This is not my Steam Deck but I needed a nice picture. Intro I have been using Bazzite on my stock 64GB Steam Deck for the past month now, and tested it previously before Bazzite had ISOs. This post demonstrates the experience of using Bazzite on unsupported hardware. The issues encountered with Bazzite on a stock 64GB Steam Deck are not excl...
JNick this is so good!!!
J@nickname "Newest features of SteamOS on a stable base." I'd just say "stable Fedora base" because that's a huge benefit.
MIs this ready to use on Legion Go?
KUse the deck build, should work as well as any other distro which is to say almost perfect
KYou'll have issues with battery display and potentially frame rate changing
KAt least until that's patched
KAnd you may get some updates to help the TDP changing situation
Tthanks and fixed that. let me know if you want me to change or delete anything else
