Now that the prototype of the ZenDeck is up and running, I thought I should test to see if Linux really is a better option for a handheld gaming PC than windows is!

what the hell even is that

halva•7/6/24, 4:34 PM

these pc handhelds are getting goofier by the hour

j0rge•7/6/24, 4:35 PM

I think this is awesome!

j0rge•7/6/24, 4:35 PM

they built the thing!

What is that bazzite-arch? Bazzite under Arch Linux without OSTree? I use Arch Linux as my boot-into OS on my desktop PC for many years.

Kyle Gospo•7/6/24, 4:37 PM

It's in Arch Linux distro box that we made which has Steam and drivers built into it

Kasher_CS•7/6/24, 4:38 PM

Arch with steam preinstalled, if you boot into Arch you have no use for it

Kyle Gospo•7/6/24, 4:38 PM

Originally it was used to run Steam on the desktop builds, now it's unused by us but we maintain it for other distros

Kyle Gospo•7/6/24, 4:38 PM

Still very useful on a stock copy of silverblue for instance

KKasher_CS Arch with steam preinstalled, if you boot into Arch you have no use for it

Retro Gamaer•7/6/24, 4:38 PM

Booting into Game Mode Steam?

RRetro Gamaer Booting into Game Mode Steam?

Kyle Gospo•7/6/24, 4:38 PM

No, it's only useful for the desktop

Kyle Gospo•7/6/24, 4:38 PM

Game mode can't function in a distrobox

Lulufcm•7/6/24, 4:41 PM

Hello All, I need help please :
I have a GPD WIN 4 7840 and a dock with RTX Nvidia 4070
The HDMI from my TV is on the RTX
When I try to play on TV, I have both screens but when I try to launch a game (Like PES 2021) the system detect only the 780M (Internal GPU)
How to choose the EGPU on primary when the GDP is docked ?

Kamquat•7/6/24, 4:46 PM

I know with an AMD card you could use

DRI_PRIME=

DRI_PRIME=

but I've no idea if that works for Nvidia.

Kamquat•7/6/24, 4:47 PM

In terminal, type

 DRI_PRIME=1 glxinfo | grep renderer

 DRI_PRIME=1 glxinfo | grep renderer

and then do

DRI_PRIME=0 glxinfo | grep renderer

DRI_PRIME=0 glxinfo | grep renderer

Kamquat•7/6/24, 4:47 PM

See if they give different results or not

LLulufcm Hello All, I need help please : I have a GPD WIN 4 7840 and a dock with RTX Nvid...

Kyle Gospo•7/6/24, 4:48 PM

Are you using a -deck build?

Lulufcm•7/6/24, 4:49 PM

What did you mean with deck build ?

Kyle Gospo•7/6/24, 4:49 PM

We ship switcheroo which should use your dGPU automatically, no need for prime

LLulufcm What did you mean with deck build ?

Kyle Gospo•7/6/24, 4:49 PM

Do you have game mode?

Kamquat•7/6/24, 4:49 PM

I get to start dealing with new eGPU issues later today, my 7600m is showing up from Amazon.

Kyle Gospo•7/6/24, 4:49 PM

It boots to steam big picture?

KKyle Gospo It boots to steam big picture?

Lulufcm•7/6/24, 4:50 PM

yes on the GPD and when I switch to Desktop I see my TV with the RTX HDMI

LLulufcm yes on the GPD and when I switch to Desktop I see my TV with the RTX HDMI

Kyle Gospo•7/6/24, 4:51 PM

No deck build ships with Nvidia proprietary drivers at this time

Kyle Gospo•7/6/24, 4:51 PM

So you're using nouveau with nvk

Kamquat•7/6/24, 4:51 PM

So it's probably using Nouveau in desktop. You should just be able to rebase

Kyle Gospo•7/6/24, 4:51 PM

Which is very, very early Software

KKamquat So it's probably using Nouveau in desktop. You should just be able to rebase

Kyle Gospo•7/6/24, 4:51 PM

Then they lose game mode

Kyle Gospo•7/6/24, 4:51 PM

And HHD

KKyle Gospo Then they lose game mode

Kamquat•7/6/24, 4:51 PM

Ohhh snap yeah its a GPD

Kamquat•7/6/24, 4:51 PM

my bad

Kyle Gospo•7/6/24, 4:52 PM

The simple fact is: we do not support Nvidia dGPUs on handhelds

Kyle Gospo•7/6/24, 4:52 PM

Sorry

Lulufcm•7/6/24, 4:52 PM

yes GPD not Steamdeck

Kyle Gospo•7/6/24, 4:52 PM

Too much wrong with them

Lulufcm•7/6/24, 4:52 PM

so this is not possible to work ?

Kyle Gospo•7/6/24, 4:52 PM

Correct

Kyle Gospo•7/6/24, 4:52 PM

An AMD one would be fine

Kamquat•7/6/24, 4:53 PM

Not in any simple way at least (you could probably do insanity with VFIO, but...)

Kamquat•7/6/24, 4:53 PM

I wouldn't want to do it on a eGPU w/ handheld.

Lulufcm•7/6/24, 4:54 PM

On Windows it work very good

Lulufcm•7/6/24, 4:54 PM

but SteamOS is better for Gaming

Kyle Gospo•7/6/24, 4:54 PM

Nvidia's proprietary drivers do not support game mode, they've had years to fix this

Kyle Gospo•7/6/24, 4:54 PM

Unfortunately it's on them

Kyle Gospo•7/6/24, 4:54 PM

Nothing we can do

Kamquat•7/6/24, 4:54 PM

Nvidia often has issues on Linux, because only Nvidia can do anything to fix problems.

Kamquat•7/6/24, 4:54 PM

and they don't.

Lulufcm•7/6/24, 4:55 PM

ok so the problem is Nvidia not the oculink ;D

matt_schwartz•7/6/24, 4:55 PM

time to put steamos on my nvidia rig and make a clickbait YouTube video about steamos supporting nvidia now
