Dcould it happen on steamos as well?
RSince all their firmware shenanigans, better ready than not XD
RThey are usually delayed, so not too much likely.
RBut if it shut down during it, you will need one.
R(During a BIOS update, I mean)
Dwhy is it not delayed for bazzite?
RThey usually pull directly from the main repos.
RThere is no branches in the sources provided by Valve.
Dso are they only delayed for steamos?
RTo be clear, it's not something that happens often.
ROr ever for me.
RBut a lot of my issues all stems from firmware crap.
RIt works, but it could do far better than the standard.
RIf you stay on stable, yes.
RBut since SteamOS stable is unusable since 3.5, probably not anymore XD
Dwhy don't we have them delayed for bazzite?
RTo be clear, I'm not sure on this.
RAnd by default this distro will NOT update it.
ROnly if you enable it manually.
RSoo.. it shouldn't be a problem.
DSo bazzite gives no bios updates???
Rby default no.
RSince people have mods.
RAnd different bioses are required.
RIf you have a stock deck, you are free to enable it.
DI am confused. you said it is not delayed then you say there are no updates
RThe files are always the latest.
RHowever by default they are not applied.
RThey are just resident on your SSD.
RThis is the fault of Valve, since they do not declare if the bioses dropped are stable/beta/main/whatever.
Dso my bios is very out of date
RIt might.
RGo in system settings and check the number after F7A
RThat's the number mentioned above.
R120 dropped two days ago.
R(Or F7G if you have an OLED)
DI typed
ujust update-firmware and there are no updatesRCheck the version number of the bios in game mode.
RYou might already have them enabled otherwise.
Dmine is f7a0119 or something like that, ends with 119
Toh i didnt know this... i guess i should change that documentation when i get home later
RSo it's enabled
RIt's the shipping one in bazzite.
RAsk @KyleGospo for be sure tho.
RBut it should be the default IIRC now.
RIt might be able to distinguish between people with DeckHD/32 GB RAM mod/etc.
Ti think it does
Tbut yeah ill wait for kyle's response on that
Ti wont be able to edit it anyways until later because i have to go, but i think it can distinguish during a hardware check at first boot or something like that
RI'm having to use steamos stable bc beta is having some issues with the interface for me
