XXe @CharlieBros are there any docs on the weirdness of the ally on bazzite?

I'm not sure, I'm only the translator and a heavy lurker, as I don't have a device to test

CharlieBros•1/10/24, 9:38 PM

However, @indigo had some bugs

XeOP•1/10/24, 9:38 PM

fair! the documentation site is a little light on details so I'm -v asking

XeOP•1/10/24, 9:38 PM

need to figure out what the guide/quick access menu buttons are and i'm set otherwise though

CharlieBros•1/10/24, 9:38 PM

For example HHD wasn't working correctly, and he didn't like that because of HHD, he had the PS glyphs

sleep mode was one thing, and I haven't kept up on whether it was made functional yet

CharlieBros•1/10/24, 9:39 PM

Yes, and that the face buttons sometimes wouldn't work

CharlieBros•1/10/24, 9:39 PM

Buuuuut he also had a bazillion issues installing, so your mileage may vary @Xe

XeOP•1/10/24, 9:40 PM

install worked, rebooting into bazzite

it's always changing which is why i dont bother writing documentation on other handhelds

XeOP•1/10/24, 9:40 PM

is there a github issue to keep up with?

CharlieBros•1/10/24, 9:40 PM

@Xe I just remembered, @indigo claimed that indeed there are sleep issues, but there's also the same issues in windows. so...

"bad shim signature, you need to load the kernel first"

XeOP•1/10/24, 9:42 PM

ugh

XeOP•1/10/24, 9:42 PM

is this insecure boot

termdisc•1/10/24, 9:42 PM

I think Chimera is also still lacking sleep on the Ally

XeOP•1/10/24, 9:42 PM

disables secure boot

XeOP•1/10/24, 9:43 PM

updating initramfs

CharlieBros•1/10/24, 9:44 PM

I really really really hope I get a good deal for the legion go when the time comes

CharlieBros•1/10/24, 9:44 PM

because the legion has almost 1:1 feature parity with the steam deck

CharlieBros•1/10/24, 9:45 PM

Yet again, the Bazzite development is making so many giant steps that I wouldn't be surprised that when May arrives, both the legion and ally would work perfectly with the os

XXe is this insecure boot

CharlieBros•1/10/24, 9:45 PM

Yup, you can add the keys so you can keep secure boot

XeOP•1/10/24, 9:46 PM

ah, ally needs custom kmods?

CharlieBros•1/10/24, 9:46 PM

I believe so yeah, that's why the ally has it's own image while the legion uses the normal deck image

XeOP•1/10/24, 9:47 PM

makes sense

XXe ah, ally needs custom kmods?

tryhardsoccermomswag•1/10/24, 9:48 PM

so many firmware headaches with the ally
