KIs SteamOS really just arch with the valve patches Bazzite also has
KCan you elaborate
RI'm still running SteamOS on my Deck and will continue to do so
KWe ship all of those patches and more, Steam OS is a immutable variant of arch that is built from snapshots that can be fairly old
VTo be fair SteamOS uses the exact same drivers as any other distro. It's performance is smack dab average, if not lesser than because of it's update cycle.
RTrue
KHuh, fair enough
KWe used to get asked all the time what patches were adding to get the quick sleep feature the deck has
Tdid that and nothing happened
KAnd the answer is there aren't any
KIt's just sleep
Hthen go into tty and try restart sddm
CTRL+ALT+F4 then login and run
other than that i guess the next step is a reboot
CTRL+ALT+F4 then login and run
sudo systemctl restart sddmother than that i guess the next step is a reboot
Twhen tryna select on the desktop this is all the space it reaches down to even tho my mouse is in the black
KSteamOS doing absolutly nothing is the greatest news ever made
Tits fixed
CPushed the Brazilian translation PR, kept all the spelling mistakes and typos in service of faithfulness
CIt's my first ever pull request, hope it may be of use
WThe best Windows.
VNo you don't get it, Valve optimized it in ways you'll never understand
CThe Valve guys did say in interviews it took some work, I guess that was more so on the hardware platform end
MYes
H>There's a reason we've seen constant improvements in deck performance
Mesa engineers:

MHere @Kyle Gospo
Hholy shit that image got crunchy lmao
Hdiscord moment
V"But now you don't even have to wait for shaders to compile! You can just skip it and it's fine! Praise Valve!"
Htbf there are like a few games where shader compilation makes me want to commit a crime against mankind xd
H(warframe being the most notable example)
VIt's frustrating arguing with people who's source for Linux knowledge are handheld reviewers who parrot marketing material
CIsn't Valve pumping money into Mesa though?
VI mean probably, but that work benefits every distro.
Hyeah it's not something specific to steamos
VHell it benefits SteamOS quite a bit after, as I previously said, because of the update cycle.
CThat is to Valve's credit though
Hif anything steamos is usually late to the party
Hxd
CSame with Wine
KSteamos being immutable also helps us
VI mean it's great they're doing it, but saying "Well Valve pays mesa" doesn't suddenly make SteamOS's implementation of it better.
CThat is true as well
VI mean, yeah kinda does. I'd imagine mostly in more attention being placed on Flatpaks.
Hhonestly it's pretty surprising to me i havent seen any complaints about flatpaks being sandboxed
KI've got no idea there, I've never experienced anything like it
KWhat kind of drive is that?
KYeah, their firmware is extremely optimized as far as suspend and resume times are concerned
KAll of the work went there, there's no patches in their kernel for sleep
KIs there a consistant reasoning for fullscreen being broken?
KI know now
gamescopeSo we benefit from that as well (On deck), I see
JIf only there was a way to inspect their changes and apply them to other projects.
