What is the correct way to use zsh and ohmyzsh as the primary shell in Bazzite?
Should I be installing it in a fedora distrobox, or can I use fleek?

if it's not preloaded, you can consider layering it in

you can install it as a layer, then add it as the shell for a terminal profile you can set as default.
would not switch your shell to it as it will break things if you rebase

is it even possible to run steam on big picture mode but on specified resolution 720p then upscale it 1080p?

You can do it with game scope but I'm not sure why you'd want to

Al-Mumin•1/8/24, 8:57 PM

because its broken on nvidia only in full screen due to resolution so how can i do that gamescope to make steam resolution in 720p then upscale it to 1080p

ChaiQi•1/8/24, 8:58 PM

Why would you ever want to upscale a desktop app?

tryhardsoccermomswag•1/8/24, 8:58 PM

steam's bpm does not work well on nvidia's drivers

So I made the mistake already of installing it through Fleek and using 'just chsh' to set it as my default shell. I realized my mistake when none of my Flatpak apps were available.

I used 'just chsh' to revert back to /bin/bash and did a fresh 'fleek init'. Everything /seems/ fine now. Is there anything more I should do to fix it to avoid future problems?

cuz i dont want to change my whole display resolution 1080p to 720p just to make steam big picture run so smoothly in nvidia but blurly as hell

HikariKnight•1/8/24, 8:59 PM

the problem with changing your login shell is that if you rebase and the shell doesnt exist on the image you rebase to, well you got yourself a big problem

Kyle Gospo•1/8/24, 9:00 PM

It runs smoothly at 720p?

Kyle Gospo•1/8/24, 9:00 PM

That's news to me, should run like shit always

HikariKnight•1/8/24, 9:00 PM

im not familiar with fleek or nix so i cant speak for that, but just changing back to bash will stop any issues from arising

Kyle Gospo•1/8/24, 9:00 PM

Anyway the only method of doing that will also scale your games

Kyle Gospo•1/8/24, 9:00 PM

So I don't think that's what you want to do

Kyle Gospo•1/8/24, 9:01 PM

Try using X11, tends to help

Al-Mumin•1/8/24, 9:01 PM

u gotta make ur resolution is 1280x800 to make steam big picture work perfectly in nvidia but you will suffer due to blurly quality ig

Al-Mumin•1/8/24, 9:02 PM

thats why i want make steam think im on that resolution then upscale it to native resolution of my display

HHikariKnight the problem with changing your login shell is that if you rebase and the shell d...

WilfordGrimleyOP•1/8/24, 9:02 PM

That makes a lot of sense.

I had assumed that because nix and any program fleek installs live inside my home that I would survive any rebasing.

I will stick to bash for now until I get a better grasp of the OCI set up.

Kyle Gospo•1/8/24, 9:02 PM

Well, like I said you can use game scope but it will also scale your games the same amount

WWilfordGrimley That makes a lot of sense. 😅 I had assumed that because nix and any program f...

HikariKnight•1/8/24, 9:03 PM

just make a terminal profile where you set the shell to zsh in and set that profile as default

ChaiQi•1/8/24, 9:03 PM

Big picture mode running badly isn't because some magic resolution fixes it, as far as I know it's because it can't use the dedicated GPU at all and CPUs are bad at rendering
