Kthat check is looking for amd_iommu specificly on purpose
Kinstead of deleting it, you can change it to enable it
Kand then the check will pass in the future without undoing what you did
Kwe didn't, fedora was already in that process. See OSTree, CoreOS, Silverblue, and Kinoite
KInstead, we're building off of that work by making them gaming-ready
Fwhats the additional features that bazzite introduces?
Kin the case of the deck, I believe ostree offers a much more compelling immutable experience than SteamOS can
FAre you a bazzite dev, btw?
Kyes
FNice, may I ask what your background is?
Kin our case, package layering. You can
rpm-ostree install anything that you'd normally sudo dnf installKand these are kept across updates
FI've always been incredibly amazed at the folks working on open source projects
FIm going into computer engineering, and was wondering what kind of skills you all have to work on projects like these at a high level
KMy original passion was game dev, then I moved to software and now web
Kand am hoping to move to something closer to this
Fwhat do you find yourself doing most in bazzite to contribute?
Foh game dev is a rabbit hole. twice weekly i read the godot docs...for pleasure, lol
KI started it, it's Jorge that brought me into Universal Blue and EyeCantCU that came in shortly after to help me build all this
Fso wait
Fyou learned how to build an OS by yourself?
Tyeah they were asking in #
general why head into this read-only root direction and if there are any downsides to that for purposes of developing

Hwell i think for the deck it should be kept off as i dont see any use for iommu on the deck as it does not even support eGPUs, if it did support eGPUs then i would see a point in keeping it enabled.
i just remembered my iommu kargs got removed once when i ran the deck image (before i rolled my own just to streamline testing)

Tbut i dont think you will really find any major problems especially if you want to develop on your steam deck
Tlike most developer tools can be obtainable on bazzite
Kthat should only happen on Jupiter/Galileo now
Kmight have not been that specific in the past
Hyeah it wasnt
Hhence why i checked the script again
KI was already using Silverblue as my main desktop, then saw what Jorge was doing with OCI images and had a brief "wow that's cool, you could make a better SteamOS with this"
Kand just started playing with it
KKthis serves as an archive of where the project was before it became part of universal blue
Khaven't looked at this in a minute lol, very archaic by comparison, not even alt desktops on offer.
K@EyeCantCU @j0rge FYI, we passed 300K pulls on Bazzite alone
Kjust found out earlier
Hnice
Fso, how do you even begin to tinker with something like this
Kstarting is super easy, ublue has a ton of guides and examples
FOne of my biggest questions is, how does bazzite manage to get the right firmware that runs the qualcomm chip
Kand then it just kind of grows
Foo, please link if possible
Kmost of the work is done by Fedora, when we need additional firmware it's surgical
Kand added as-needed
Fah ok. I failed miserably today. I installed Mantic MInotaru on my steamdeck, and audio doesn't work, nor does the wifi
KFLiterally nothing worked, I spent nearly 10 hours on it
KLCD or OLED deck?
FTHe OLED
