Is it already possible to use Bazzite with Fedora 40 in testing on deck oled, or are there already known issues preventing its use? I seem to have read that the kernel is not ready yet

kinda funny how the LGO is, in a lot of ways, a more linux-compatible device than the Steam Deck itself

Aru

LGO basically had all important hardware usable from day 1 with no additional kernel patches

Lenovo is pretty good with their hardware not being completely linux-hostile

aru made this script:

not a GUI sadly

there was also this prototype image switcher way before bazzite/bluefin/aurora existed:
https://github.com/atimeofday/image-switcher
but it was only for switching between all of the 'main/base' images

Looking at the code, it looks pretty straight forward. Always worth giving it a second look. Something like this would be helpful to users I think.

Aru

Aru•4/22/24, 4:30 PM

i'd probably want to make the helper be able to determine the currently active bazzite image

Aru

A

Aru•4/22/24, 4:30 PM

right now it defaults to

bazzite-deck

bazzite-deck

Aru

A

Aru•4/22/24, 4:30 PM

so it's easy to accidentally rebase to the wrong image if you're not on bazzite-deck

Aru

AAru right now it defaults to `bazzite-deck`

Noel

N

Noel•4/22/24, 4:30 PM

oh yeah, that would definitely need to change.

Noel

Noel•4/22/24, 4:31 PM

You can grab the image information like we do in our just scripts.

Aru•4/22/24, 4:31 PM

e.g. bazzite-rollback-helper rebase 39-20240220bazzite-rollback-helper rebase 39-20240220 would default to bazzite-deck:39-20240220

Aru

I think deck is the more likely rollback candidate anyway, given the hardware requirements of that image

Kyle Gospo

K

Kyle Gospo•4/22/24, 4:31 PM

so if you want to simplify your load you could PR it just to the deck images

Kyle Gospo

basically curl it into /usr/bin/ when building -deck
