Is it safe to replace the gnome-deck-gnome image with the gnome-deck when it's already installed?

Is it safe to replace the gnome-deck-gnome image with the gnome-deck when it's already installed?

Also, the current bazzite deck image, whatever gnome or kde, already has HDR support in game mode right?

reinstall if you are switching DEs
there will be problems when you go from gnome to kde or kde to gnome so even upstream recommends reinstalling or remaking the users homefolder
if you do not know how to do the latter then reinstall

is it possible to rebase silverblue to bazzite-gnome

leader021•3/7/24, 2:01 PM

Yes, but you can also use the brand new fresh ISOs

unrelated, but this gif is great

So I change version then recreate the home folder with mkhomedir_helper, right?

same DE so yes

HikariKnight•3/7/24, 2:51 PM

yes but you move and re-create it before you login on desktop
on deck i am unsure how you would accomplish this due to autologin so reinstall is the easiest

madbananas•3/7/24, 4:19 PM

Yes, I can imagine! I was thinking it could very well replace a desktop system from the specs

madbananas•3/7/24, 4:19 PM

I'll keep it on the radar for the future

ImBrock•3/7/24, 4:59 PM

Hello, running a fresh Bazzite install (all AMD), it's a reinstall really as my ssd failed the other day. With this new install I keep having games hang, so far has happened three times with death stranding and once with dark souls. I have to reboot when it happens. Wondering what the terminal command to verify or repair the os is? Is it called rebasing with the atomic OS? Anyway wasn't having this issue on the install with the ssd that failed, playing the same games, so I'm wondering what I can do about it.

ImBrock•3/7/24, 5:00 PM

It may coincide with me bringing up the steam menu. Oh and I'm using deck mode when gaming

doctor_shim•3/7/24, 5:21 PM

quick question since i cant find it on the website: can i restore my steam deck to stock (with steam os) after installing bazzite?

ImBrock•3/7/24, 5:22 PM

You'll need to use the valve provided steamos ISO to reinstall it

doctor_shim•3/7/24, 5:22 PM

Ah okay, thanks!

doctor_shim•3/7/24, 5:22 PM

I fcking love bluefin and want that similar experience on my decky deck

ImBrock•3/7/24, 5:22 PM

It's doable though I put a fresh ssd in my deck and had to reinstall the OS. Was fairly easy

doctor_shim•3/7/24, 5:23 PM

Yeah I'm guessing it's straightforward

doctor_shim•3/7/24, 5:23 PM

Well, here I go!

ImBrock•3/7/24, 5:26 PM

Researching my question I don't think that's called rebasing. I'll try running a system update and see if that helps maybe.

doctor_shim•3/7/24, 5:27 PM

Yeah so Bazzite, bluefin, etc. use 'rebasing' as a way of essentially creating a whole new system, sparing your personal documents.

doctor_shim•3/7/24, 5:27 PM

The idea is that the system itself is static and immutable (cannot be altered), and that configuration happens within the confines of your home directory (typically somewhere in /var/home/$USER)

doctor_shim•3/7/24, 5:28 PM

In my experience if something starts breaking, a rebase with a newer image (if available ) does the trick.

doctor_shim•3/7/24, 5:28 PM

Way, way easier than the traditional GNU/Linux workflow of figuring out wtf you broke hah

doctor_shim•3/7/24, 5:30 PM

Also the smart folks behind these systems wrote a bunch of utility scripts accessible through the justjust command, so type justjust in the terminal and you get a litany of useful tools

doctor_shim•3/7/24, 5:31 PM

So, just updatejust update and a reboot would update your system, including installed applications

ImBrock•3/7/24, 5:31 PM

The trouble is it's a fresh Bazzite install installed yesterday. I don't think there's anything to update. Games just keep hanging

ImBrock•3/7/24, 5:32 PM

And on the same rig and games a few days ago before reinstalling I didn't have any games hanging.

doctor_shim•3/7/24, 5:34 PM

here's my wild shot in the dark: Have you done any configuration with Proton?

doctor_shim•3/7/24, 5:34 PM

Like, are you using a different version of Proton or Wine in the game's settings?

ImBrock•3/7/24, 5:34 PM

I haven't but I should probably drop some places-ge into there

ImBrock•3/7/24, 5:35 PM

Proton-ge*

doctor_shim•3/7/24, 5:35 PM

Yeah, troubleshooting is made easier with the knowledge that the underlying system cannot be modified. So either it works across the b oard, or you misconfigured something within Steam.

ImBrock•3/7/24, 5:36 PM

It's a completely stock Bazzite deck install on my htpc

doctor_shim•3/7/24, 5:36 PM

I am about to undergo that same installation msyelf

ImBrock•3/7/24, 5:36 PM

It's exactly the same as it was before my ssd failed yesterday

ImBrock•3/7/24, 5:36 PM

Which is why it's frustrating, it was just working. The ssd is even the same model

ImBrock•3/7/24, 5:36 PM

The replacement

doctor_shim•3/7/24, 5:36 PM

I wonder if there are diagnostic tools you could use to verify that your hardware is functioning properly

doctor_shim•3/7/24, 5:37 PM

Is this a PC you built yourself?

ImBrock•3/7/24, 5:37 PM

Of course haha one of many

doctor_shim•3/7/24, 5:37 PM

I know my NVIDIA-based Intel NUC system hangs all the damn time. NVIDIA drivers are garbage.

ImBrock•3/7/24, 5:37 PM

This is all amd, I aimed for Linux compatability

Is it safe to replace the gnome-deck-gnome image with the gnome-deck when it's already installed?
