What's up everybody. I'm new here and I'm hearing great things about this OS. Is it really better than the original SteamOS. And is it available for The Oled version?

CCrono Automatic server switching

smallinternet•7/7/24, 4:22 PM

Mullvad does automatic server switching? I have to use Proton for port forwarding but I want this so bad.

Crono•7/7/24, 4:22 PM

Well, it auto-reconnects and after failed attempts will try to connect to another server

asen23•7/7/24, 4:24 PM

also lcd is better supported, oled still have some quirks

Robotta•7/7/24, 4:24 PM

not seeing Proton GE on my dropdown in steam

Robotta•7/7/24, 4:24 PM

and yes i have ge 9.9 installed

BigMigzGaming#9566OP•7/7/24, 4:24 PM

I see only the steam deck 256+ version. Will that work on the Oled version? I'm very curious on this now lol

Aasen23 also lcd is better supported, oled still have some quirks

Ohhhhhhhh

Valerie•7/7/24, 4:24 PM

Yes, it works on the OLED

smallinternet•7/7/24, 4:24 PM

Ahh. I know it'd probably cause interruptions but I was thinking like "every hour check and connect to fastest server" in case of congestion. To spread the load a little.

Valerie•7/7/24, 4:25 PM

The reason it says 256+ is because it doesn't work on the 64GB SSD. So long as your Steam Deck is anything other than that, it will work.

BigMigzGaming#9566OP•7/7/24, 4:26 PM

Do I need a keyboard and mouse or can I use the on screen keyboard on my steam deck

Valerie•7/7/24, 4:26 PM

You do need a keyboard at minimum

smallinternet•7/7/24, 4:28 PM

They got rid of port forwarding a while back on purpose, unfortunately.

tryhardsoccermomswag•7/7/24, 4:29 PM

Robotta•7/7/24, 4:29 PM

tryhardsoccermomswag•7/7/24, 4:29 PM

i would try reinstalling it or using a different GE proton

Robotta•7/7/24, 4:29 PM

hmm okay, will try

Valerie•7/7/24, 4:29 PM

Is proton plus any good?

tryhardsoccermomswag•7/7/24, 4:29 PM

Robotta•7/7/24, 4:29 PM

As opposed to SteamOS, It allows you to layer packages which will be kept on system upgrades(like the VPN software we were talking about now); allows you to use GNOME for a desktop environment which is more touch-friendly; uses a newer overall kernel version with some gaming-focused patches like the BORE CPU scheduler; allows you to easily rollback to and pin any amount of known good OS versions; upgrades everything at once with one button(including Flatpaks and Distrobox containers); comes with Distrobox preinstalled(which gives you access to AUR packages if you want to); includes many useful

commands like

ujust install-resolve

ujust install-resolve

that's being worked on to install DaVinci Resolve with one command

Valerie•7/7/24, 4:30 PM

I tried it once and it didn't work

VValerie Is proton plus any good?

tryhardsoccermomswag•7/7/24, 4:30 PM

does nearly the same as protonup-qt but its GTK so its preinstalled on GNOME images

VValerie I tried it once and it didn't work

Robotta•7/7/24, 4:30 PM

well im not alone then

Robotta•7/7/24, 4:30 PM

Crono•7/7/24, 4:33 PM

As for the downsides, updates are currently a large download because of a limitation with ostree(which manages updates) that's being worked on. They shouldn't take more disk space though because you only keep two system deployments by default.

Aasen23 also better support than steamos 😄

Crono•7/7/24, 4:33 PM

Yeah, also forgot about consistent package updates from upstream Fedora

asen23•7/7/24, 4:34 PM

from kyle too

Crono•7/7/24, 4:34 PM

Plus it's pre-configured with a ZRAM setup
