it's great! I ditched my desktop pc for this one with no regrets
it's great! I ditched my desktop pc for this one with no regrets
MYes, I can imagine! I was thinking it could very well replace a desktop system from the specs
MI'll keep it on the radar for the future
IHello, 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.
IIt may coincide with me bringing up the steam menu. Oh and I'm using deck mode when gaming
Dquick question since i cant find it on the website: can i restore my steam deck to stock (with steam os) after installing bazzite?
IYou'll need to use the valve provided steamos ISO to reinstall it
DAh okay, thanks!
DI fcking love bluefin and want that similar experience on my decky deck
IIt's doable though I put a fresh ssd in my deck and had to reinstall the OS. Was fairly easy
DYeah I'm guessing it's straightforward
DWell, here I go!
IResearching my question I don't think that's called rebasing. I'll try running a system update and see if that helps maybe.
DYeah so Bazzite, bluefin, etc. use 'rebasing' as a way of essentially creating a whole new system, sparing your personal documents.
DThe 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)
DIn my experience if something starts breaking, a rebase with a newer image (if available ) does the trick.
DWay, way easier than the traditional GNU/Linux workflow of figuring out wtf you broke hah
DAlso the smart folks behind these systems wrote a bunch of utility scripts accessible through the
justjustSo,
just updateThe trouble is it's a fresh Bazzite install installed yesterday. I don't think there's anything to update. Games just keep hanging
IAnd on the same rig and games a few days ago before reinstalling I didn't have any games hanging.
Dhere's my wild shot in the dark: Have you done any configuration with Proton?
DLike, are you using a different version of Proton or Wine in the game's settings?
II haven't but I should probably drop some places-ge into there
IProton-ge*
DYeah, 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.
IIt's a completely stock Bazzite deck install on my htpc
DI am about to undergo that same installation msyelf
IIt's exactly the same as it was before my ssd failed yesterday
IWhich is why it's frustrating, it was just working. The ssd is even the same model
IThe replacement
DI wonder if there are diagnostic tools you could use to verify that your hardware is functioning properly
DIs this a PC you built yourself?
IOf course haha one of many
DI know my NVIDIA-based Intel NUC system hangs all the damn time. NVIDIA drivers are garbage.
IThis is all amd, I aimed for Linux compatability
DYou are way ahead of me there. I should never have laid down the eight-hu7ndred for an NVIDIA NUC hah
IMaybe I'll try rebasing to the same version. Reinstall everything and maybe it'll clear up
DPerhaps... remember that, according to what I know, your personal home directory will be retained between rebases unless you boot into the installation ISO and reformat everything
II was trying to do this with a gtx 1080 before and it was a headache with drivers. I just want a smooth console like experience on my TV haha
Doh heck yeah and I'm confident Bazzite/Bluefin and those variants are a great choice
IThat sounds about right. My home is empty currently anyway though
DThe folks behind these distros are my new heroes (I love you folks) ;)
IYup, once I get the cec working too it'll be super smooth
IPicked up a dongle for it last week
DWell I will boot into the installation ISO and see where it takes me. o7
IBest luck!
Rprobably a dumb question but im new to this whole container-everything approach. If I install some package inside of a fedora container for example, does the package get updated automatically through topgrade?
Rmaybe fedora is a bad example because thats what the host is made of, but pretend I used arch or ubuntu as an example instead
Fdistrobox updates are handled automatically, so you're good
Fonce a day, just like system updates
