Having virtualization enabled can affect some games, it's why valve explicitly disables it in steamo

Having virtualization enabled can affect some games, it's why valve explicitly disables it in steamos so we do the same and we can't really support the usecase for the same reason. Plus VMs on a 4 core system isn't really great.

Oh I got it. I just need mssql instance so I am gonna try

yeah its a rare issue but valve tries to cover as much as possible to get games working on the deck so they leave it off and we do the same.
had 1 game where i had virtualization on the system, all the friendly AI in the game stopped working. had a bios update that turned virtualization off and it magically worked again until i fired up a vm and noticed virtualization was off and turned it back on

HikariKnightOP•3/10/24, 9:47 AM

happened only on 1 system with that game

HikariKnightOP•3/10/24, 9:47 AM

funny enough also an amd system

Artur S. (KoderFPV)•3/10/24, 9:53 AM

Ahh Its a cost of console like experience what I really love.
Luckly on this steamdeck I am not running single game only dockers containers.
Maybe someday I will create bazzite server version, bacouse SD a small homelab sever performe quite well.
It's quite, has UPS built in, and it extremely compact

HikariKnightOP•3/10/24, 10:21 AM

yeah we dont directly stop it, but if you try to enable iommu for example, bazzite-hardware-setup will detect it and turn it back off.
and you can just bypass ujust for the virt tool installs, but we will not support virtualization on the deck for the same reason valve does

HikariKnightOP•3/10/24, 10:22 AM

plus it would kill the battery, which also is why we do not support it

HikariKnightOP•3/10/24, 10:22 AM

as we are trying to keep the deck handheld first computer 2nd (but better than steamos)

I just now noticed the new website, great work

robbiered•3/10/24, 11:21 AM

My games wont run anymore and until I ran the uninstall which is half broken, swap was showing as zero

HikariKnightOP•3/10/24, 11:22 AM

swap is zero because we dont use swap we use zram (compressed ram)

robbiered•3/10/24, 11:24 AM

Right but previous htop showed the zram it was xxx/4GB

robbiered•3/10/24, 11:25 AM

I’ll just reinstall, obviously I screwed something up

robbiered•3/10/24, 11:25 AM

Was just wondering if there was a factory reset

HikariKnightOP•3/10/24, 11:26 AM

yeah dont use cryoutilities on bazzite as thats tailored for steamos and we are not steamos

HikariKnightOP•3/10/24, 11:26 AM

and no factory reset sadly, it is something we want to setup

robbiered•3/10/24, 11:26 AM

I got fooled as it said it should work on most Linux distros

HikariKnightOP•3/10/24, 11:27 AM

well yeah it works on most linux distros

HikariKnightOP•3/10/24, 11:27 AM

but cryoutilities expects swap which is usually on other distros, but we do not use swap so cryoutilities ends up breaking zram and swap in general

robbiered•3/10/24, 11:28 AM

Yup

robbiered•3/10/24, 11:28 AM

It’s ok

HikariKnightOP•3/10/24, 11:29 AM

the data management you can use, but that causes other issues when you uninstall and reinstall something and the data was stored on an external disks and you get games that crash because of broken symlinks

HikariKnightOP•3/10/24, 11:31 AM

so we just recommend people to not use cryoutilities as it will do nothing on bazzite
for the data management you need to know what it actually does so that you can manually fix it if the symlinks break (from you moving games or reinstalling to new disks and then the old disk is no longer available, etc)

HikariKnightOP•3/10/24, 11:35 AM

so its best to avoid using it alltogether on bazzite

I'm at a point now where the windows 11 vm is running with the virtio drivers, the looking-glass client is installed and running. I run the looking-glass-client from the fedora distrobox and it connects, but i'm not getting a screen

what controller are you using? sadly linux also doesn't play nice with a lot of my 3rd party controllers

Aantheas There's no boost setting per say

Anon9001•3/10/24, 12:49 PM

Could you consider adding ability to tweak the Frequency Limits in your plugin as just changing the governors isn't that flexible for me as the powersave governor is conservative for most modern games whereas the performance/schedutil governor is aggressive.

I would just like to set a 2.5 GHz Max Frequency Limit for modern games like I can in Powertools.

oh, no idea then. you'll need to use a Deck-specific plugin

AAnon9001 Nope I am using LCD Deck.

antheas•3/10/24, 12:56 PM

Use powertools

antheas•3/10/24, 12:56 PM

It's steam deck only

antheas•3/10/24, 12:57 PM

Also yes

antheas•3/10/24, 12:57 PM

Bazzite uses epp so it might not be possible

antheas•3/10/24, 12:57 PM

Unless you do that change

antheas•3/10/24, 12:57 PM

But the equivalent of boost is setting epp to powersave

antheas•3/10/24, 12:58 PM

But on the SD nobody knows sooo

Aantheas Use powertools

Anon9001•3/10/24, 12:59 PM

Yeah I am currently using Powertools but I don't like how buggy it is. One annoying issue I found is that the Frequency Limits for CPU and GPU don't persist if game is having Launcher required to start it up. I need to use "Reapply Settings" to get it to work.

Another issue is when using a per game profile the Powertools GPU Frequency Limit doesn't work automatically and I need to manually re-enable it.
