UHey so I saw the new update is there for Ally.. I checked and mine is already on -deck as I have only installed the OS within the last week. So now I just run the update function within Steam system update menu? Or I need to do something in desktop mode?
Fbut i don't want to go back to windows
Lseems so, it now boots straight into steam gaming mode when i restart so things seem good
SI am an active Bazzite user on my laptop, do you recommend Bazzite for steam deck too? Also does the controller (joysticks and buttons) work the same way like on Steam OS when using the desktop mode?
PAre you on Nvidia? Try disabling GPU acceleration on the settings.
Fintel
Lright now it seems the install is borked so i don't recommend it at this moment, this is my first time trying the os at all sooooo i can give you a review later on 
Si had problems with the instal on my laptop too, so what i did was install Fedora Kionite and rebased the thing
Laah, fair. I just went into rescue to try and see if i can get it to boot into kde, but upon rebooting (and forgetting to go back into rescue) it kinda just ended up working with an external monitor plugged in.
And.. as with any os install on a steam deck, a dock you can plug a usb and a keyboard in at the same time is pretty much mandatory

PI'd try it anyway. Disable GPU acceleration and restart steam.
FAnother problem
FSyeah, i have something like a dock, it has one usb C, normal usb and hdmi
Sand i also have a classic usb hub
Sso it should be okay
Sand if it wont work, i can steal the origianl dock from valve from my sister
H- there's going to be a new steam deck when valve announce it, until then it's just pointless rumours
- you'll probably have to wait till valve upstream their stuff to the mainline kernel
RSo Steam Deck OLED had the same thing when it got first released right?
Hfrankly i dont remember
Hbut the original steam deck launcher was... wacky
RLike Valve not having upstream their stuff to mainline kernel, causing OLED model not being supported prior to Bazzite 3.5
Ai've always thought the Deck is a bad Linux machine, but a good SteamOS machine
Atrying to install generic distros have always had some sort of gotcha or quirk on the Deck, SteamOS was the only distro that actually worked for a very long time
RThat's true, hope they improve linux kernel upstream support when new models comes out
Athe Legion Go is a better Linux machine, it basically worked off a vanilla fedora kernel from day 1 lol
RTho it does not have FreeDOS/No OS variant and only have Windows version
Ayeah, if the LGO had a discounted version with no Windows, that would've been great
ABut yeah, even now, regular distros struggle to 100% work on the Deck
Jthats with most devices
Jinstalling linux on my laptop?
gotta make sure there are drivers for my wifi, audio, gpu, etc.

Ayes, but usually "most devices" ship with Windows, so no surprises there. But it not working well on a supposed Linux-only device is a bit more annoying
Athat being said, I don't necessarily think it's a problem or anything.
AI think the Deck is an awesome device, it's really helped linux gaming
A...it's just objectively had issues with running generic distros
TSafe to upgrade by either method
UThanks!
CBoth are wired into the same updater, no difference between updating through either one
TForce proton
Tgmod native port is a little funny
UHey some feedback - if I change audio to the Family option which seems to be the fixed one, every shutdown or restart changes it back to Rog Ally option. It won’t hold that setting for some reason.
KWhat's your issue with the ROG Alyl output?
UAudio seems distorted at high volumes.. system sounds for example seem to reverberate the shell.
UFamily option is more tinny for sure, but that reduced bass is what’s stopping it from reverberating. If Rog Ally option has the bass toned down just a little it would probably be ideal.
EAll of these TWENTY controllers are connected to my Bazzite HTPC and Steam cant handle it as you can see. Beyond 16 controllers it starts struggling
ESo yeah 16 is the limit
UBest example is bringing up side menu and then exiting from it.. that sound creates a lot of distortion at higher volumes.
Acould you turn down the volume of the regular family option? the max volume of that option affects the sound of the ROG Ally option
Pliterally how
