normally manufacturers just leave it to the OS to manage power
normally manufacturers just leave it to the OS to manage power
Athe os does a pretty bad job tbh, or at least on the steam deck
Ai mean, linux in generally has had a spotty track record of power management on laptops
Athere's a reason why tools like tlp exist on linux
Atlp?
AAohh looks nice, looks like it's not on the deck yet though
TI used to use Ubuntu on an old Dell laptop in 2006-10. Power management and sleep were always something I was worried about. I’m so glad things are much better now
Anobody has done tdp while gaming before handhelds came out
Aliterally 0 reason to game on a laptop without being plugged into the wall
Aso may as well juice it and get max fps
Aesp. since laptops with dedicated gpus use like 200w
Aafter 100wh a battery is considered a bomb by the tsa
Athis is changing as we speak but yeah...
Aso what, you get like half an hour while not plugged into the wall and you can stretch it to an hour?
DI am always wondering this. Has there ever been any games that the devs would only allow it to run on a few select systems like ubuntu and steamos but block everything else?
Ano, but I think we'll get it once games with anticheat start to come out
Asteam is only officially supported in ubuntu, fyi
DI wonder how we could trick the anticheat that the game is running on steamos?
AIm salivating if anyone wants me to do kernel level anticheat ill do it i dont care
Tthat would be a hilarious progression of anticheat management
A500k a year deal?
Athey're going to make a special signed kernel that you need to use, and combine it with measured boot.
Athen you're done, no memory hacks no anything
Ause whatever distro you want, game only starts on a kernel variant signed by that key or what
Awith secure boot and tmp attestation
Aif you do that you dont even need any ring 0 anticheat, its impossible to hack
Tdystopian
KOrr..... just don't play those games.
KI mean, that makes it easy to not have to deal with invasive anticheat.
Ti wish so many new multiplayer games didn't require drivers for their anti-cheat, but i guess it's been a thing since battleye released
Aif the kernel sources are public and they provide a way to verify that the binary is compiled from that its ok imo
Aand of course merge patches for gaming hardware quickly
Athe kernel does not need to be special either, the linux kernel can be locked down a lot more than windows since its used by enterprise applications :/

Want to get Linux on your Lenovo Legion Go? Bazzite Linux was recently updated and now should be feature complete for the Legion Go so you can get a more SteamOS-like experience for it just like the Steam Deck.
Gbazzite uses tuneD
Awell bazzite also doesn't have any sound on the steam deck oled
Vhas anyone tried using tpm on the steam deck for FDE?
KIt has sound
Auntil you use suspend mode
KI am able to suspend all I need to
Await waht
KThe bug is specifically a crash with switching between desktop and game mode
KIf you never enter desktop mode it's not a problem
AWell I guess I entered desktop mode a bunch of times cause gnome is cool
C"OS doesn't support XYZ at all" is not the correct way of saying "I encountered this bug which caused this issue after I did this, is it known and is there a known fix?"
Awell, it is listed on github
CSo both of those questions are already answered and the new questions are "why does this known issue with a known fix happen and is a permanent fix in the works or at least known to be possible?"
Aknown fix? Do you mean just not using desktop mode?
Gbetter term would be "workaround"
