on it, edit the kargs to remove the disabling of the nouveau driver, then rebase to bazzite-deck. I'm hoping to use that to get a working bootable installation for my Steam Deck.

that should work

JilongOP•12/11/23, 2:09 AM

Cool! I'll report back one way or the other.

Strange, last time I saw this then it was a btrfs issue

Kyle Gospo•12/11/23, 2:13 AM

Try switching to ext4 in bazzite-portal

Kyle Gospo•12/11/23, 2:13 AM

You'll have to reformat your SD card one more time for that to take effect

Kyle Gospo•12/11/23, 2:13 AM

Sorry in advance

Kyle Gospo•12/11/23, 2:13 AM

You can however copy all of your files off of it and put them directly back afterwards, steam will discover the existing files

Kyle Gospo•12/11/23, 2:13 AM

If that makes it any easier on you

cpuccino•12/11/23, 2:16 AM

nah allg ill prob just nuke it, just wanted to make sure there's nothing else that can be done lol

is there a reason why we use btrfs instead of ext4 by default? anything i can do to help fix this issue, logs etc

Kyle Gospo•12/11/23, 2:16 AM

BTRFS is generally better thanks to compression

Kyle Gospo•12/11/23, 2:17 AM

If this does fix it for you, you're the 2nd person we've seen here with this issue in the history of this project

Kyle Gospo•12/11/23, 2:17 AM

Fedora also defaults to BTRFS for the root drives, so using it on the SD too makes sense

cpuccino•12/11/23, 2:20 AM

fair enough, it's 640 gb of files so prob wont copy it haha, but will update you guys if ext4 does fix it

JilongOP•12/11/23, 2:26 AM

You have 640GB of data on an SD card? Wow!

JilongOP•12/11/23, 2:29 AM

I guess I'm just not used to the size of modern SD cards nowadays.

matt_schwartz•12/11/23, 2:30 AM

i've got 940gb on mine

matt_schwartz•12/11/23, 2:30 AM

you can go as high as 1.5tb but the 1.5tb ones are either super slow or like $400 lmao

So took me far too long to realize why games were defaulting to the steam deck presets.... But for certain games you can turn it off by changing steam launch command to have SteamDeck=0 %command%

BG3 turns off local co-op without it.

the super low ones are likely scams

sandisk ultra which is slow as shit

matt_schwartz•12/11/23, 3:07 AM

and some other brand I never heard of that seemed slightly faster at like 2.5x the cost

Hello! Linux noob here, planning on checking it out again after bouncing off my last Linux advent a couple months back.

val ⬝•12/11/23, 3:20 AM

Fixing to jump in with kinoite-nvidiakinoite-nvidia here pretty soon, but I've been looking into Bazzite and I'm curious. Until just recently I assumed it was purely a SteamOS type thing, so what's the difference between regular UBlue Kinoite and Bazzite Desktop? Are they fairly similar, but Bazzite has more gaming-focused drivers and stuff, or does it also have UI/DE overhauls bundled with it?

val ⬝•12/11/23, 3:21 AM

Apologies if what I'm asking is entirely incomprehensible haha, I'll be quite honest I know next to nothing about all this. I'm just wondering if Bazzite Desktop is also trying to be a play-on-your-couch, big-picture mode type thing or if it's literally just UBlue with more gaming stuff bundled in. I'm looking for just a normal desktop experience so I don't really want the former.

j0rge•12/11/23, 3:28 AM

both

j0rge•12/11/23, 3:29 AM

there's different images for each, on my htpc I use bazzite-deck, which is the big picture ui basically

j0rge•12/11/23, 3:29 AM

but on your desktop you can just run normal bazzite

FIREBAT•12/11/23, 3:37 AM

does bazzite run KDE or GNOME?

tryhardsoccermomswag•12/11/23, 3:37 AM

since you have a nvidia GPU, you actually only have the choice of the normal desktop version since the version with "Game Mode" doesn't run with the nvidia drivers

FFIREBAT does bazzite run KDE or GNOME?

tryhardsoccermomswag•12/11/23, 3:37 AM

your choice

tryhardsoccermomswag•12/11/23, 3:37 AM

there are KDE and GNOME images

tryhardsoccermomswag•12/11/23, 3:37 AM

default Bazzite image is KDE but there's -gnome-gnome variants

FIREBAT•12/11/23, 3:38 AM

would you mind linking the GNOME ISO? I just installed the UBUNTU OS on my system and was going to just do the patching myself

Ttryhardsoccermomswag your choice

FIREBAT•12/11/23, 3:39 AM

Is that recommended or advised against

tryhardsoccermomswag•12/11/23, 3:39 AM

all of the images are in the regular ISO, you just choose before installing. latest ISO is here - https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite/releases/tag/v2.0.2

FFIREBAT Is that recommended or advised against

tryhardsoccermomswag•12/11/23, 3:39 AM

both are supported

tryhardsoccermomswag•12/11/23, 3:39 AM

it's really just if you like one or the other more

tryhardsoccermomswag•12/11/23, 3:40 AM

if you like GNOME, use the GNOME images. if you like KDE, then use the images without GNOME attached

Is the featurelist on https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite#desktop everything that's different from regular uBlue? I'm wondering if there's any UI / KDE changes over the default uBlue. It seems like there is based on what's listed here. I mentioned earlier that I'm looking for a normal Desktop environment, and not a big-picture esque UI, so that's the make or break for me personally.

tryhardsoccermomswag•12/11/23, 3:55 AM

that link is just for the specific difference with the desktop images. the full feature is part of the desktop image too.

tryhardsoccermomswag•12/11/23, 3:55 AM

but the only difference with KDE is that it uses Valve's SteamOS theme

tryhardsoccermomswag•12/11/23, 3:55 AM

which you might not even notice

tryhardsoccermomswag•12/11/23, 3:55 AM

because it looks just like Breeze
