Steam Client Beta somehow is the problem. Changing back to stable works, but using the Beta breaks it.

well i made a fix, just need to wait for people to wake up and approve it, so will be fixed in next image build, sorry for the issue

Huh. Is no longer Steam logo when logging in but is Bazzite logo now. Neat.

Question: did read something about powerwash that is planned for bazzite. Is that planned like a factory reset?

Yeah. Not just for Bazzite, but for all other Universal Blue images too.

Currently, it doesn't support resetting

/etc

/etc

files & resetting

/home

/home

directory (

/var/home

/var/home

, to be more precise).

Everything else is pretty much covered I think.

Yeah, KDE also doesn't support resetting its settings to defaults like Gnome does

Brunvik•1/20/24, 1:57 PM

But is a cool thing! Only distros I know who offer this are Pop and SteamOS. Gives alot of safety to someone not very versed in how to operate grub.

I think Ublue Overall is something you could put a more casual user in front of in comparison to regular Fedora

and ChromeOS

Brunvik•1/20/24, 2:09 PM

Did forget about ChromeOS since it feels so much more capsulated from what it really is. If only google would add Flatpak Support to flex, that would make this whole os much more interesting for the user that uses more than a browser

It kind of does. Removing the config files is sufficient

fiftydinar•1/20/24, 3:01 PM

I stand corrected.
However, you don't have something like dconf reset /dconf reset / simple one-liner?
You would need to assume the file location of all those KDE configs?

Nope

EyeCantCU•1/20/24, 3:13 PM

It's so unclean I don't think I'd bother. And things move around. 6 will also be out soon and change the structure once more

termdisc•1/20/24, 3:15 PM

of course not. it was just a joke

termdisc•1/20/24, 3:15 PM

it's too aggressive to script anything with rm -rfrm -rf in it, imo

EyeCantCU•1/20/24, 3:16 PM

There's also nothing like gsettings so when I was configuring things for my own image, providing custom configs often broke other things

I also saw this on reddit last night which makes it all that much more important https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzZLvw2AdvM

How A Steam Bug Deleted Someone’s Entire PC

A deeper look into a steam-for-linux GitHub issue (https://github.com/valvesoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/3671) investigating how a steam script was able to delete the entire contents of someone's root directory. While the direct cause of the rm -rf is fairly obvious, how it was triggered in the original bug report is not, and may forever remai...

EyeCantCU•1/20/24, 3:20 PM

That's funny. The other day, I installed a 2tb SSD in my Steam Deck. Almost instantly filled it up. Steam didn't recognize it was installed so it asked to reinstall even though it was clearly installed. Removed a game and it started right up
