KThen it's got to be my logitech trackball and keyboard, cause that's the only battery-having things.
KAh okay. will updates working right after boot let me still get the update whenever it comes?
K(I shut down at night, so I get a fresh boot daily)
EUnfortunately I don't believe so. Will have to fix this by packaging psutil with the fix. In the meantime, ublue-update --force should do the trick
KOkay. Thanks
KI still haven't gotten an OS-image update since I installed (to my knowledge), but I've no idea how regular they are or aren't, and it'd only been a few days
KYep --force worked.
CWhat metadata refresh jank, exactly?
Jthat spinner that sits there or, when you're browsing the store it immediately goes into refresh mode
CAhh. Yeah, the fact that it refreshes every 20 seconds or so is extremely problematic
CIs there any way to prevent that?
Jit's why remove the backends, it's way worse upstream. Someone needs to fix it or someone needs to make a flatpak-native package manager, part of the problem with older tools is they're designed to be pluggable with backends for a bunch of package management systems, etc.
Jthere's no need for that any more
CAh, hm
KCan you link me to that fix? I'm happy to do that

GHey all, just have a quick question. Is it possible to enable the Steam gamescope session on the desktop build, or is it exclusive to the Deck builds? I would like to be able to have gamescope-session connect to my TV when I want to game on my desktop PC (for HDR, etc.), while also being able to use desktop mode the majority of the time. Also wondering if there's any caveats to running the deck build on a desktop setup (with AMD graphics).
I currently have this setup on Arch using gamescope-session-steam from the AUR, and it's working well for me.

NSomeone can correct me if I'm wrong, but the main difference between the Deck build and the Desktop build is the desktop doesn't ship game scope. I believe you can run the deck version on a desktop if you want to (I tested it in a VM previously and it seemed to work fine)
Kgamescope ships (now), just not the session. Deck builds have gamescope session, autologin, and default to gamescope just as SteamOS does
K@Geechan Deck build on desktop is fine/supported, we consider that our HTPC package as well. That being said if you'd rather have control you can also just re-enable the bazzite repos in /etc/yum.repos.d/ and layer gamescope-session-plus and gamescope-session-steam
Kthat way you don't get the autologin stuff
GGood to know, thanks! That was the one thing that was concerning me moving over to Bazzite
GI'll likely layer on the packages then
KSo this came up - do I just reboot to apply the update?
KHuh no, I rebooted, ublue-update still says update available. What do I need to do to get said update?
KRather than have you deal w/ --force to update
KI just patched the battery detection issue in the first place
Kmain is building now, when it's done (I can ping you)
Ksimply run
rpm-ostree updateKand you won't have to worry about it anymore
Kokay thank you!
KSounds great. I'll await your ping
CMan, didn't know Linux was on github (makes sense tho), watching the commits is wiiild, fixes for a specific laptop, backing down from a change because it broke compatibility with hardware so ancient it could legally drink in the USA, sheesh
DWell technically its only for backup purpose
Linux development is though mailing list

CEverytime I see somebody using GNOME and liking it because it's so pretty, I feel fuzzy inside, because is basically a MEXICO MENTIONED moment
C"Pfft, why does GNOME care so much about window decorations", well just look at it
CThe Apple philosophy, sexy, sleek and minimalist from the get go, but that's all you get, which as someone with a mac, iPhone and Watch, y'all can see that I agree with it
CI want a Legion Go specially to use at home. I'm a single monitor boi (a 43 inch 4K TV mind you) for work, so if I want to play something while working (which is most of the time), I need to play it full screen, and welp, you see the issue. I bought a gaming PC but windows is awful for multitasking and most things I use for work either half work, or are a PIA to configure (and I'm talking literally just Teams, Skype and Apple Music), I even had a gaming laptop, which I too sold because, well, I hate working in Windows and couldn't for the life of me make the different performance profiles to work on it (Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3 btw), and it just had the same issues.
So at the end, a gaming laptop is no use for me because it's a hassle to make it work in linux (unless is a kinda expensive one) and a gaming PC doesn't solve my single monitor issue, so, after watching my boyfriend play with his switch while at work, I had the epiphany that indeed, the best format for me, is a Handheld PC.

FWhile their philosophy is similar in that regard, Gnome's execution is much better. Apple is too minimalist while Gnome is in a sweet spot.
Gnome still has great customization options while retaining simplicity & looks.
Not to mention the workspace workflow which is the best out of all of them.

CDaaaaamn, that looks really neat
Jdid you try it?
CI see, that's what I remembered, still, really cool!
CIt always strikes me as odd when people claim that Gnome is not customizable. I tried KDE first, was disappointed, tried Gnome, immediately installed extensions, got what I needed, and continued customizing it far beyond what anything else on any operating system supports
CI'm a gnome 3 veteran, I remember installing it in a netbook and it ran extremely crappy lmao, once I got a better PC (FX 6100 and HD 6870 my beloved) I constantly chose Gnome above KDE and XFCE, it has always been a delight
CI did ran KDE for a time tho, was able to make it look neat and tidy
CI also remember Ubuntu pre-Gnome Shell, I used a widget software which I have completely forgot the name that made it look futuristic, at least in my head
Cnowadays it would just look cheesy and old, like the default enlightment look
