So, yesterday I spent hours using my Steam Deck as a computer and the whole time I was thinking that a mobile UI would make more sense on such a small screen.

Have you guys considered adding mobile variants, e.g. gnome-mobile-deck?

Since these are capable of being used as full PCs, it probably won't happen.

Kyle Gospo•4/7/24, 11:47 AM

But a fork that does that wouldn't be difficult

bazzite-phosh would be awesome

Actually, does anyone know if GNOME and KDE plan to unify their mobile and desktop codebases? E.g use a mobile UI on small screens, and a desktop UI on big screens?

Hey guys, is there a way to install Bazzite OS without a keyboard on Rog Ally?

There is not

MatiX412•4/7/24, 12:20 PM

Sad

MatiX412•4/7/24, 12:20 PM

Installer should have a virtual keyboard

Eventually

Kyle Gospo•4/7/24, 12:21 PM

Requires us to make a live CD and for the ISOs to be a few gigabytes bigger

Kyle Gospo•4/7/24, 12:21 PM

For now, any cheap keyboard will work fine

antheas•4/7/24, 12:23 PM

full bazzusy live cd?

antheas•4/7/24, 12:23 PM

not light live cd

Aantheas full bazzusy live cd?

Kyle Gospo•4/7/24, 12:23 PM

Nah, just a normal fedora live CD that installs bazzite

antheas•4/7/24, 12:23 PM

you think you can reuse the installation image?

Kyle Gospo•4/7/24, 12:23 PM

Nope

antheas•4/7/24, 12:23 PM

that'd be cool

antheas•4/7/24, 12:23 PM

i dont see why not

antheas•4/7/24, 12:24 PM

other than "fedora is ready"

antheas•4/7/24, 12:25 PM

but i do know that the current installation method does not preserve the layers so its a bit different

antheas•4/7/24, 12:26 PM

oh no silverblue live cd, bummer

Welld1s•4/7/24, 1:26 PM

@antheas, sorry for pinging you like this, but I have a question about the latest HHD and Lenovo Legion Go. I'm trying different combinations of touchpad emulation, when using "Disabled" or "Disabled in Desktop mode" moving the cursor is working, but left and right mouse actions aren't. Is this some kind of planned behavior? Can we somehow change it to behave like original Lenovo's one in Desktop mode and like an emulated Dualsense Edge panel in Game mode?

WWelld1s @antheas, sorry for pinging you like this, but I have a question about the lates...

antheas•4/7/24, 1:27 PM

That's what the feature does

antheas•4/7/24, 1:27 PM

Should be the original touchpad unless I made a mistake

antheas•4/7/24, 1:27 PM

Yes left and right mouse actions will not work

antheas•4/7/24, 1:28 PM

Unless you turn on tap to click on your desktop environment

antheas•4/7/24, 1:28 PM

It says so in the hint

Aantheas Unless you turn on tap to click on your desktop environment

Welld1s•4/7/24, 1:28 PM

I think I tried this with no effect

antheas•4/7/24, 1:28 PM

It needs to be this way for it to work properly

WWelld1s I think I tried this with no effect

antheas•4/7/24, 1:29 PM

antheas•4/7/24, 1:29 PM

The actions are overlayed on the virtual touchpad

antheas•4/7/24, 1:30 PM

However they break dragging filds

Aantheas oh no silverblue live cd, bummer

Kyle Gospo•4/7/24, 1:35 PM

Yeah that's why the ISO would balloon so bad

Kyle Gospo•4/7/24, 1:35 PM

Have to have a semi functional workstation install on the image to boot

Kyle Gospo•4/7/24, 1:36 PM

Plus extras for the keyboard

Kyle Gospo•4/7/24, 1:36 PM

On top of what's already there

Kyle Gospo•4/7/24, 1:36 PM

Obviously those images would be -deck only

Kyle Gospo•4/7/24, 1:36 PM

And desktop stays as-is

antheas•4/7/24, 1:36 PM

Bazzite live CD would be great

Kyle Gospo•4/7/24, 1:36 PM

Likely keep offering the current ones too for people who are size limited

antheas•4/7/24, 1:37 PM

Imo I looked at the layer code and tbh

antheas•4/7/24, 1:38 PM

It's not that crazy

antheas•4/7/24, 1:38 PM

Fixing the loading bar, chunked layers, and live CD would be a big moat for bazzite

antheas•4/7/24, 1:38 PM

And they're not that crazy of a project, ISO maybe

Kyle Gospo•4/7/24, 1:38 PM

Agreed

Welld1s•4/7/24, 1:39 PM

Sorry, I think I'm just tarded. Now I tried again and everything works as it must.

Welld1s•4/7/24, 1:39 PM

Thanks again for your excellent software!

antheas•4/7/24, 1:40 PM

The iso would need to be a layer backed bazzite deployment

antheas•4/7/24, 1:40 PM

And use a custom script to deploy the layers on the install

antheas•4/7/24, 1:40 PM

Not trivial
