Seems like the installer doesn't respect the resolution coming from grub? The OLED display is vertically oriented, apparently, so I changed the resolution from 1280x800 to 1200x1920 (just to see if it would show the whole installer) and it didn't change anything.

I had to install in basic graphics mode on my OLED

matt_schwartz•12/12/23, 4:37 PM

it’ll still be vertical but the sizing is usable

matt_schwartz•12/12/23, 4:38 PM

Otherwise the installer window was massive and I could only see a tiny part of it

FrozenOP•12/12/23, 4:39 PM

Yeah, same problem. Alright, I'll give that a shot.

HHikariKnight yeah atm DRD causes a lot of weird issues in bazzite like docks not working

Zelaf•12/12/23, 4:43 PM

Yea, my keyboard and mouse refused to until I changed it

Zelaf•12/12/23, 4:44 PM

It was curiously changed back when installing Bazzite from Nobara

Zelaf•12/12/23, 4:45 PM

So is there supposed to be that many boot options in grub for Bazzite? Got 4, two for an older version and one of each has either ostree:1 or ostree:0

HikariKnight•12/12/23, 4:47 PM

its a bug i believe that causes grub to duplicate the 2 ostree entries, just ignore it

Zelaf•12/12/23, 4:47 PM

Acuma•12/12/23, 5:02 PM

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but is there any point in converting "home" from ext3 to BTRFS on Bazzite?

Kyle Gospo•12/12/23, 5:03 PM

You'd gain zstd compression from doing that, which helps with performance too

Awesome!

I was also wondering, minus Kyber, how much of this is really useful or already covered in Bazzite - https://medium.com/@a.b.t./here-are-some-possibly-useful-tweaks-for-steamos-on-the-steam-deck-fcb6b571b577

Unfortunately using Phillipp Richter's BTRFS doesn't seem to work on 39-testing. It can't see any directories.

FrozenOP•12/12/23, 5:14 PM

Did you install testing outright, or did you rebase after install?

install iso -> latest -> testing. This was a few days ago though. But I don’t think testing has the finalized patched OLED kernel quite yet.

Steam Deck images are now using some of the peformance tweaks from this Medium article.

    - Kyber I/O scheduling from BFQ
    - Disable watchdog
    - Raise memlock limit
        - Fedora already includes the 1000hz tick for the kernel & MGLRU.
        Once Valve solves their issue with CPPC in the Steam deck’s firmware the Bazzite can also utilize amd-pstate to save on battery.

FrozenOP•12/12/23, 5:16 PM

Gotcha. I asked because I installed testing outright by changing the tag in grub, but it wasn't booting. Eventually did, though, looks like it's fine.

Yeah, I guess I forgot from when I installed it on my old Deck, lol, my bad.

matt_schwartz•12/12/23, 5:20 PM

I’ve been on Nobara myself but try to help troubleshoot stuff that applies to Bazzite too in the process of OLED support being added

FrozenOP•12/12/23, 5:21 PM

Oh, I didn't know Nobara had Deck support, that's awesome.

matt_schwartz•12/12/23, 5:23 PM

lotta teamwork between the two went into getting support set up as fast as they could. very impressive stuff.

Acuma•12/12/23, 5:27 PM

@KyleGospo Thanks! I'm still doing a lot of reading and updating about everything. Some stuff I couldn't find info on. Also trying to fight against ADHD and remember things I've read is a nightmare sometimes

I mean, no homo but I'd be gay for the community Devs. They're literally what's making my Deck experience 20 times better

Zelaf•12/12/23, 5:57 PM

Welp, seems like no matter what I do the Deck defaults to the Windows Boot Manager every time

Acuma•12/12/23, 6:18 PM

Kyle Gospo•12/12/23, 6:19 PM

That doesn't touch your home directory, Fedora defaults to btrfs on home. That patch's only responsibility is the MicroSD card (Making steam format them as BTRFS and mount BTRFS partitions)

Kyle Gospo•12/12/23, 6:19 PM

What issue are you having exactly? Home folder should be BTRFS by default unless you manually partitioned, which isn't recommended

Kyle Gospo•12/12/23, 6:23 PM

1: Performance Governor - We use powersave w/ amd-pstate which is more efficient.
2: MGLRU is enabled by Fedora, got that.
3 :Watchdog is disabled
4: Memory lock is tweaked for RPCS3
5: Kyber I/O scheduler is used
6: File access times disabled
7: THP is not used, additionally we don't use a swapfile and rely on zram with zstd
8: Kernel is using 1000hz tick

Jesus Christ! I literally changed the efibootmgr option to boot grub on next launch after changing all the EFI options to be correct. Turn off the Deck, start it and it loads Windows

set your refresh rate to 90hz

that'll stop
