the funniest part is that the only way big picture mode isn’t broken on nvidia 555 is if you use the steam deck client

Otherwise it’s fully broken instead of like… 50% broken

Steam Deck client?

Krauzer•6/9/24, 2:07 AM

honestly 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...

matt_schwartzOP•6/9/24, 2:07 AM

launching Steam like

steam -steamdeck

steam -steamdeck

opts you into the steam deck client instead of the desktop Linux client, but there’s other quirks that come with it…

matt_schwartzOP•6/9/24, 2:07 AM

It’s very annoying

Krauzer•6/9/24, 2:08 AM

everything else that this does can be easily achieved using regular gamescope, the scaling features, quality enhancements and whatnot

matt_schwartzOP•6/9/24, 2:08 AM

I do get the appeal of wanting to do it which is why I sunk a lot of time into testing it on 555

KKrauzer honestly don't now why he wants to try this out, one of the main reasons for you...

Better game performance

Kyle Gospo•6/9/24, 2:08 AM

Gamescope is a compositor dedicated to gaming and nothing is running in the background

KKyle Gospo Coincidentally steam big picture is hugely fucked on Nvidia

Tray•6/9/24, 2:09 AM

how so?

KKyle Gospo Better game performance

Krauzer•6/9/24, 2:09 AM

but 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

Tray•6/9/24, 2:09 AM

I have big picture mode boot on startup

matt_schwartzOP•6/9/24, 2:09 AM

yes you can but the way to do it is busted in Gamescope right now on Wayland

matt_schwartzOP•6/9/24, 2:10 AM

it doesn’t fullscreen properly

Krauzer•6/9/24, 2:10 AM

that makes more sense now, yeah

Kyle Gospo•6/9/24, 2:11 AM

No, since there's be a DE in the background

Kyle Gospo•6/9/24, 2:14 AM

Nowhere near the same thing

Kyle Gospo•6/9/24, 2:14 AM

It's also a nested compositor in that scenario, so you're not getting the full benefit

on 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.

Krauzer•6/9/24, 2:15 AM

I guess also that, yeah

Kyle Gospo•6/9/24, 2:16 AM

I would install Linux to the 512 and then use the other half of the Windows drive as a shared BTRFS partition

GrimRaptor•6/9/24, 2:16 AM

Kyle Gospo•6/9/24, 2:17 AM

Flipping the operating systems would also work

Kyle Gospo•6/9/24, 2:17 AM

Just keep them on separate drives

GrimRaptor•6/9/24, 2:20 AM

Ok.

GrimRaptor•6/9/24, 2:21 AM

What about the 1 TB?

Natalie•6/9/24, 2:22 AM

I 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?
