CMy favorite boon to Linux gaming as opposed to Windows is running extremely old games without the display drivers shitting themselves
Ewhich is kinda craaaaaazy
CThey just scale gracefully
AAgreed, when very old games just work, I'm surprised almost every time
K16 Bit games run perfectally on Bazzite
KLegitimatly funny
Eoh retro emulation
Ethat's tempting
KWithout emulation
KThey just
Krun
ATbh I think the real secret sauce to the Deck is the OS.
Bazzite already gives you the SteamOS experience on other hardware.

CThere's
ujust install-boxtron
CSecret sauce is pretty much just gamescope I think
Etbh i kinda want it for the oled screen + the layout/ergonomics
AAgreed, game mode (gamescope-session) is the important part
KOn Windows, 16 bit apps don't run on 64 Bit OS, only on 32. But on Linux they run fine on 64
CUnfortunately other devices are very tentatively maintained within gamescope from what I hear
Eoooh im looking forward to testing suspend
Ewonder what the power draw per day will be
CThat's more so platform related
AThat depends on the hardware, yeah
CShouldn't be different unless Windows is being a bad boy
AI do wish AMD hadn't dropped S3 sleep on modern hardware
CI guess hibernate is different given Fedora explictly doesn't support it
ABut the ones that primarily suffer from no S3 now are Windows users lol
CAnd Windows does, but Windows suspend/hibernate is always plug 'n pray
AI don't get how Microsoft has screwed up modern standby so much
Ftbh, never had this issue on Windows
CAnything I've run from 15 to 20 years ago hijacks the whole compositor to hilarious effect
CIt's more due to how exclusive fullscreen works there
Econsidering how unfamiliar suspend is to me, does whatever is being run at the moment affect how much power is drawn during suspend?
ie. running something heavy like any AAA game vs small indie game at the time of suspension
ie. running something heavy like any AAA game vs small indie game at the time of suspension
CGood question, I don't believe it makes a difference since it's not running the game loop in suspend
CJust keeping the RAM powered
Ehmmm, theoretically it shouldnt have any effect then
AI use the pause games decky plugin as an extra precaution
AIt freezes the game process before suspend, unfreezes it on resume
CThere's no secret sauce in SteamOS suspend by the way, it's just normal Linux suspend
Ei'll check it out too
CAll the optimization they did is in the hardware itself
CSo it does it quick
Elinux is still black magic to me
Eso it's pretty much all secret sauce
AI think someone previously asked about how Bazzite has SteamOS suspend.
The answer was that Bazzite did nothing, it's just regular suspend lol

CHappens often
CI've seen it 4 or 5 times already
AThough technically there was a tiny bit of work to hook up the power button to the steamOS suspend
Edoes anyone have a rough estimate on how much battery is drained per.... 24h of suspend?
CHardware dependent, easier to test yourself
