z: which include the unsupported character. this is the core reason why people say to not use NTFS drives for linux gaming. if you offload the prefix to a compatible file system (and symlink it if needed), you can play off of NTFS without issues.

NTFS also has a 255 or so character limit per filename component

what is everyone's opinion of snap? it seems like most of the software in snapd is also available as a flatpak, should I just avoid snap entirely?

_cryptagion•12/13/23, 2:25 PM

idk if it's the switching that fixed it, mine stopped working but after a restart it was working again

_cryptagion•12/13/23, 2:26 PM

I didn't change anything at all in the meantime

_cryptagion•12/13/23, 2:27 PM

might have been just a temp glitch

Ryan•12/13/23, 2:27 PM

I restarted several times and even reinstalled decky loader using bazzite portal but didn't work

Ryan•12/13/23, 2:27 PM

I'll switch to beta again later and see if it stops working again

I think that there is a fix for 255 limit on Windows via regedit
Not sure on Linux

has anyone here successfully patched nvidia drivers with the keylase patches without building a custom image? Or has there been consideration in including these patches in the base image? Ive tried looking for any insight on if itd even be possible to patch the driver without a custom image but my searches havent been successful

JuggyMcNutty•12/13/23, 3:24 PM

couple days into bazzite and I'm quite impressed, normally I find glaring design issues I disagree with in these types of projects, but so far I'm quite happy I don't have to manually craft a arch image (was my original plan)

JuggyMcNutty•12/13/23, 3:24 PM

good job team

That's what most of us do

JuggyMcNutty•12/13/23, 5:09 PM

I wish appimages where more adopted generally speaking, but the Dev is a bit back and forth with his goals

JuggyMcNutty•12/13/23, 5:10 PM

not a big fan of flatpaks depending containers

Kyle Gospo•12/13/23, 5:10 PM

Super wasteful compared to flatpak imo, rather just back that until it wins out over snap

JuggyMcNutty•12/13/23, 5:10 PM

ya they are a bit bloated

JuggyMcNutty•12/13/23, 5:11 PM

fuck snap

I see bazzite is using OCI IMAGES and I see the term layers going on. is this way of distributing kinda like a docker image in terms of layers. and where can I look more into this.

Kyle Gospo•12/13/23, 5:14 PM

You got it, it's made with a Containerfile

Kyle Gospo•12/13/23, 5:14 PM

Layers is talking about post setup, ostree lets you install rpms by layering them on top of the image

Is there a way to make steam use ge proton instead of automatically installing their proton 7/8/experimental when I download a new game?

matt_schwartz•12/13/23, 5:35 PM

Enable developer settings within game mode and go to the new dev menu, you’ll see an option to change default proton compatibility version

matt_schwartz•12/13/23, 5:36 PM

this only applies to non-steam games or games marked non-playable on the Steam store afaik

matt_schwartz•12/13/23, 5:37 PM

I’m not sure if there’s a way to force override even playable/verified steam deck games

_cryptagion•12/13/23, 5:41 PM

you can override everything you run through steam

matt_schwartz•12/13/23, 5:41 PM

Oh really?? That’s great to know.

_cryptagion•12/13/23, 5:42 PM

note that this is also true on SteamOS or Bazzite on the Deck

_cryptagion•12/13/23, 5:47 PM

Oh! I should also note this won't change the proton version each game uses if it's a supported title, it will default to whatever version is latest, I believe. use the game list view in ProtonUp to pick the proton version for all of your games

Kyle Gospo•12/13/23, 5:48 PM

you can still override that per-game

Kyle Gospo•12/13/23, 5:48 PM

the global one there is just setting the default

Kyle Gospo•12/13/23, 5:48 PM

(which I generally always put as proton experimental)
