I really want a good monitor that properly supports VRR and HDR at some point
I really want a good monitor that properly supports VRR and HDR at some point
VCheap VAs are not good for either
Jdo you know if they're doing/planning it?
MIf you don't want to spend an arm and a leg a TV is probably the way to go for now. Monitor support for HDR is lacking
Kno clue
Ais the budgie upstream image stable?
YProblem with TVs is they often don't have DisplayPort, and HDMI on Linux is suboptimal for 4k VRR/HDR
KI just formated my PC and reinstalled Bazzite
Know that I'm restarting from scratch, and I'm facing the step where I install Steam on my device, I wonder, should I install Flatpak or native? on my Steam Deck it has native Steam (it has SteamOS, not Bazzite), forever I used Steam as a flatpak on my computer, and as a native on my Deck, but now I can simply use native instead, so I can make both devices as close as possible to eachother
now, my question, how does Bazzite installs Steam as a native app?
this is what I found out by opening the pre-installed shortcut:
now, my question, how does Bazzite installs Steam as a native app?
this is what I found out by opening the pre-installed shortcut:
Kbazzite installs the RPM
Kwhat exactly does it do?
Kit's a massive pain in the ass in normal SB/Kinoite
Kyou mean it is hard to intall it on other images other than Bazzite?
KI don't particularly like to layer packages, but I might do this for Steam
Kdoes it just layer the package like you normally would on other images?
Kyou are going to have an extremely hard time layering steam yourself
Kand it will break often
Kyes, but isn't this what the shortcut is doing?
Kno
Kso what do you mean by "installs the RPM"?
Krpm-ostree install steam
KI still don't get it, but I'm just gonna open the pre-installed shortcut and let it do it's thing
Kafaik that command will layer Steam
Knot sure I'm following
Kif you want to layer steam on silverblue/kinoite, you will run into dependency issues galore
Kand your updates will break often
Kit's a huge pain in the ass
KI'm on Bazzite
Kbazzite steam is pre-installed
Kjust launch it
Koh so this is part of the image
Kit's layered as an rpm
Kyes
Know I get it
Kok ok
Kno reason to use Flatpak Steam then
Kzero
Kit's an actively worse experience
Kit'll make so that both my devices are even closer to each other
KLutris is also pre-installed right?
KI'll still use flatpak for this one since it is also what I use on my Deck, this will keep things unified and organized
Kyes, lutris is pre-installed
Kdon't use the flatpak, you'll again have a worse experience
Klutris's config is in the same place whether local install or flatpak
NI'm on a GPD Win Mini 2024 with just Bazzite, no dual boot or anything, and I'm having some trouble with grub.
I've used "ujust configure-grub" to unhide grub, but it seems to only show it for a couple boot cycles after I set it, and then hide it again.
I think hitting escape during boot is also supposed to show it, but it seems like if I hit it too early it brings me to bios settings, and if I hit it too late it displays output of all the services and stuff starting during boot.
I'm wondering how I can reliably access grub.

MFlatpak steam is fine
Mit is functional
Mjust annoying
VExcept for the functions it lacks lmfao
KNo HDR support on desktop, no steam input on wayland, extremely poor VR support
Krecommended against by Valve
