TI never trusted the slider workaround so I must’ve missed that haha
TAlways used the one in SDTDP
ALol, I never used the steam slider either
Teveryday antheas speaks on here i don't have a clue what he is talking about
Ti nod and hope everything is ok
LAs long as you make sure to mount the game ssd and tell steam to look at it, then yeah it would be much easier to manage if you didnt feel like reinstalling a game multiple times per os (if you are limited on physical drives you can always put the games on a seperate partition to achieve a similar affect but this will introduce complexity)
AHHD is a much bigger piece to the handheld puzzle than SDTDP
ALinux on Handhelds would be in a much sadder state without it
Vyeah this sounds like a sick idea
Vand i could even store Timeshift backups on the big drive too
Vi'm hype
SDoes bazzite come with ROCm SDK 5.4.2 or 5.4.3? Need it for a llm
SNot entirely sure how to check if I have it or not
VI created a shortcut using bash shorcut on decky plugin, now I can change the tdp on gamemode and the gpu is working great
V
VI will test more tomorrow but now i think bazzite will be my only os on the GPD win 4
L@HikariKnight I have created a distrobox container for fedora 37 and installed davinci resolve but when launching it, it says chdir: no such file or directory
VIf you guys want to test something on the egpu I can test here
VGitHub
Container for DaVinci Resolve installation and runtime dependencies on Linux - zelikos/davincibox
L@VagrantWinds wait I am checking it out
BSteamOS has the exact same audio problems with the oled
Bon the preview 6.5 branch
KThey finally caught up!
B
TWhich eGPU do you have
Balso the theming is fixed (it actually detects dark mode and picks adwaita dark), and doesn't flashbang you
Band the new arch base will have libadwaita zenity
BI GOT PUSHED INTO DESKTOP STEAM BY GAMESCOPE LMFAO
Bafter a decky update

V@Kyle Gospo i think i figured out what has been causing the "sd card full" issue when they're clearly not full and only 50-70% full after it happened to me again in a reinstall and i played around trying to find the reason. what's happening is the btrfs filesystem not being balanced correctly and the metadata filling up so nothing more can be written. and to do anything with the drive when it fills up, the only way to "fix" it is to attach another btrfs temporary usb drive, add it to the btrfs poll, rebalance, and remove that temporary drive. but then that didn't fully fix it and the problem still happened again later. you can see the unbalanced data with "btrfs fi show" and "btrfs filesystem usage /path/to/drive"
VHOWEVER, when removing "ssd_spread" from the format/mount options said unbalancing problem doesn't happen
KInteresting, I've never been able to reproduce this problem on any hardware, even back in the steamos days
KBut I will play with that
Vi've ran into it multiple times on bazzite
Vand i'm pretty sure that's what it is now. before i thought it was something with the compression level
KThere were users that ran into it on SteamOS too, with the SteamOS BTRFS script
Vtrial and error beating my head against the wall
KBut I have not once ever been able to reproduce it
KIt's definitely Hardware specific
KHardware being the actual SD card
KI'll see if removing it can be done without harming performance for others
KOtherwise we just have a new step for a minority of users to play with
Vwell, i know for a fact that the problem happens with these
Vhave had it happen on 3 different ones
Vbut yeah, since removing that mount/format option the btrfs partition is near perfectly balanced and the sd card is filling up with no issue
Vdigging into the btrfs docs, they don't recommend that option
VSince 4.14, the block layout optimizations have been dropped. This used to help with first generations of SSD devices. Their FTL (flash translation layer) was not effective and the optimization was supposed to improve the wear by better aligning blocks. This is no longer true with modern SSD devices and the optimization had no real benefit. Furthermore it caused increased fragmentation. The layout tuning has been kept intact for the option ssd_spread.
Vthe 'increased fragmentation' seems to be what's happening that's leading to the exess metadata writing
Vbut i'm not an expert, just a dumbass trying to beat their head against an issue
