Hey 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.

Someone 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)

Kyle Gospo•1/4/24, 6:14 PM

gamescope ships (now), just not the session. Deck builds have gamescope session, autologin, and default to gamescope just as SteamOS does

Kyle Gospo•1/4/24, 6:15 PM

@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

Kyle Gospo•1/4/24, 6:15 PM

that way you don't get the autologin stuff

GeechanOP•1/4/24, 6:16 PM

Good to know, thanks! That was the one thing that was concerning me moving over to Bazzite

GeechanOP•1/4/24, 6:17 PM

I'll likely layer on the packages then

So this came up - do I just reboot to apply the update?

CharlieBros•1/4/24, 9:07 PM

I 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.

fiftydinar•1/4/24, 9:17 PM

While 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.

ChaiQi•1/4/24, 9:37 PM

It 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

CharlieBros•1/4/24, 9:38 PM

I'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

CharlieBros•1/4/24, 9:39 PM

I did ran KDE for a time tho, was able to make it look neat and tidy

CharlieBros•1/4/24, 9:40 PM

I 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

CharlieBros•1/4/24, 9:40 PM

nowadays it would just look cheesy and old, like the default enlightment look

This is a demonstration of the Git version of Compiz Fusion (formerly known as compcomm), which is the remerge of beryl and compiz, and some of its interesting features.

Unfortunately the only machine I have is my macbook air, I sold my laptop and my desktop (as seen above) so I don't have any way to play around

j0rge•1/4/24, 9:42 PM

oh ok, I'm asking because it's way more bonkers than it looks

Kyle Gospo•1/4/24, 9:42 PM

I might ship hot edge as a default feature

Kyle Gospo•1/4/24, 9:42 PM

debating it

Kyle Gospo•1/4/24, 9:43 PM

it's just...so much better than the hot corner as a default behavior

Kyle Gospo•1/4/24, 9:43 PM

and the app menu replaces the hot corner anyway

CharlieBros•1/4/24, 9:43 PM

I just like to lurk here while I wait what seems ages to buy my Legion, y'all fill my toying-around-with-linux needs

what I want is for when the machine is in -dx mode for there to be a split in the top panel at 45 degree angle, a little gap opens up and you see the "inside" of the panel and there's turbos and stuff in there

like when the wing pops up on a porsche
