so, how do you even begin to tinker with something like this
so, 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
Fthe one with the new 6E qualcomm wifi chip
KOLED needs firmware blobs & kernel patches
Fapparently it has proipriety drivers
Kwe actually don't have that working yet either, working on a kernel update w/ the patches
Kfirmware is present though
Fand I wasn't able to get ANYTHING to work, even downloadin the .bin files
A@KyleGospo @EyeCantCU @j0rge Thank you guys for making bazzite for us! I know I thanked you guys a few months ago but now it’s starting to gain some attention
Fso wait, wifi doesn't work on bazzite?
KNot on the OLED, works fine on LCD
For audio?
Honly on oled
Ksame
Fohh
Fjesus, so it's a widespread problem then
FWhy is that?
KThe changes to the kernel aren't upstream yet
Fhas Qualcomm's greedy asses not released their firmware or something?
AOh yeah what’s the difference with chimera and Bazzite by the way?
KChimera is arch based, we're Fedora based and that's really about it
KDifferent conclusions to the same question
AOhh
Fis there any OS where the wifi is working besides the generic (and god awful) steam OS?
Fi really cannot live without GNOME
KI think we're all in the same boat, but it won't be much longer
Fi tried KDE and it reawakened past trauma
Ti would say there's more to it than that 
but Bazzite does utilize Chimera's
but Bazzite does utilize Chimera's gamescope-sessionso there's some similarities 
Fso i probably shouldn't return my steamdeck, then, lol
Fi really wanted to support valave, linux, in general
FEven bought that LE oled
Calso uhhh
where does Qualcomm come into this? I've seen you mention it several times today @after.burn

Khere's the firmware for the OLED deck's wifi
FQualcomm made a specific chip that supports Wifi 6E
Kand here's the kernel patches
Fhowever, their driver is propriety. Somehow, it works on steam os
Kit's open source, just not upstreamed yet
