KThere is no stable Nvidia driver that supports Wayland, that's completely expected
Dx11 scaling is awful though
KThey are going to have to wait for the next driver release
KMight be a few weeks
KAt that point Wayland will function
Dsounds good thanks ill let him know
Tdesktop mode steam settings
Tah okay that's why I couldn't find it
Kis this hardware-cetric? there is a folk from another sever trying to install this on Nobara, but on his destop, he does't have any Deck-like handheld and wanted to try out this neat feature, he understands that using Steam Big Picture mode is not the same thing haha
KCoincidentally steam big picture is hugely fucked on Nvidia
KIt's a driver problem, there's nothing that can be done to fix it by us
KIf they want to try it I would recommend they buy an AMD GPU or a modern Intel one
Kthanks for the info, gonna pass on to him
Mthe funniest part is that the only way big picture mode isn’t broken on nvidia 555 is if you use the steam deck client
MOtherwise it’s fully broken instead of like… 50% broken
KSteam Deck client?
Khonestly don't now why he wants to try this out, one of the main reasons for you to use this is for battery life, and he is using a desktop...
Mlaunching Steam like
steam -steamdeck opts you into the steam deck client instead of the desktop Linux client, but there’s other quirks that come with it…MIt’s very annoying
Keverything else that this does can be easily achieved using regular gamescope, the scaling features, quality enhancements and whatnot
MI do get the appeal of wanting to do it which is why I sunk a lot of time into testing it on 555
KBetter game performance
KGamescope is a compositor dedicated to gaming and nothing is running in the background
Thow so?
Kbut can't you use regular gamescope for this? passing on the necessary parameters via CLI (Steam Launch Options), afaik what Valve did with their side panels is just passing on new parameters to the gamesope session client
Ofc the GUI helps with the ease of use, I know
TI have big picture mode boot on startup
Tnvidia
Myes you can but the way to do it is busted in Gamescope right now on Wayland
Mit doesn’t fullscreen properly
Mhttps://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope/issues/1356 not specific to nvidia either

Your system information Steam client version (build number or date): 1716584667 Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Fedora, Arch Opted into Steam client beta?: Yes Have you checked for system updates?: Yes...
Kthat makes more sense now, yeah
KNo, since there's be a DE in the background
KNowhere near the same thing
KIt's also a nested compositor in that scenario, so you're not getting the full benefit
Gon install can i load the os on 2 drives?. i have 2 512nvme and a1tb ssd. one nvme is windows (have to for school). i want to split the tb in half 1 half windows, the other linux. the other 512 will be linux.
KI guess also that, yeah
KI would install Linux to the 512 and then use the other half of the Windows drive as a shared BTRFS partition
Gok
KFlipping the operating systems would also work
KJust keep them on separate drives
GOk.
GWhat about the 1 TB?
NI recently lost the unique bazzite startup (completely disappeared from the settings) and also lost my ability to adjust the screen resolution/refresh rate on my install, currently on bazzite-ally-gnome-20240603, any clue on what might be wrong?
KLike I said, feel free to flip it
GIs there a shared partition that both can read?
KBTRFS with WinBTRFS
GGpart right?
KDoesn't matter
KWhatever you like
GAs long as I can format it to that both can use the drive
