valve's official linux steam version is for ubuntu

tryhardsoccermomswag•3/29/24, 5:55 PM

yeah thats normal

T

tryhardsoccermomswag•3/29/24, 5:56 PM

are you literally transferring the steam directory from one install to another?

T

tryhardsoccermomswag•3/29/24, 5:56 PM

that could be causing issues

C

ClawbOP•3/29/24, 5:56 PM

no, it's a clean wipe using Bazzite's preinstalled Steam

Those are normal parts of a steam install

Output of validating files on Elden Ring says "1 files failed to validate and will be reacquired." but that's it

I'm going to delete the steam folder right now.

Still a no go unfortunately.

@Kyle Gospo I have a question for you, it's been a while but I still have some issues with Totk on Bazzite on my deck, it gets ram bottlenecked, although on SteamOs isn't like that, could it be zram? Do you think increasing swap could help?

Kyle Gospo•3/29/24, 6:03 PM

We don't use a swap file at all, ZRAM maxes at 4GB

K

Kyle Gospo•3/29/24, 6:03 PM

Next release of SteamOS will match that

A

Alex&Indie•3/29/24, 6:03 PM

Yeah but what can I do to match performance?

K

Kyle Gospo•3/29/24, 6:04 PM

You can try manually creating a swap file

C

ClawbOP•3/29/24, 6:04 PM

I think I'm closer to a solution. If i fully close steam, unmount the drive, then remount it and open steam, games will work. However, if I restart my PC, the issue persists.

Yup, fps and ram usage are totally different

Do you have an existing steam library on that drive?

A

Alex&Indie•3/29/24, 6:14 PM

While on Bazzite ram is maxed out and the fps can't get past 22 fps, on SteamOs the ram usage is around 12/13 gb and at 30 fps

(VRAM included)

KKyle Gospo Do you have an existing steam library on that drive?

C

ClawbOP•3/29/24, 6:19 PM

Yes. Though in the past I've wiped the drive and installed from scratch, and that still didn't work. Now that I know it's fixed with a remount, I might be able to create a startup script that does it for me on boot. It doesn't fix the problem, but it will at least alleviate it.

Alex&Indie•3/29/24, 6:29 PM

The new SteamOs update does/will use zram, so it's not that either

DevilFish303•3/29/24, 7:05 PM

fido2 yubikey has been working out great on my steam deck, but cant help but wonder, how can i be even lazier about it without compromising security. Anybody try out tpm2 with pcr measurements? am wondering how these would work out on bazzite

D

DevilFish303•3/29/24, 7:07 PM

someone was asking earlier what the point of secure boot was, i guess using tpm2 with pcr 7 is a another good example of what it might be useful for if anything. Set secure boot to on, set luks encryption to decrypt with tpm, include pcr7 so it will prompt for a passphrase instead on unlock if secure boot is ever disabled

D

DevilFish303•3/29/24, 7:08 PM

im just not sure if combining pcr 7 with 8 or 11 would work out due to the way how rpm-ostree works
