So theoretically could I disable that and make steam os boot in big picture mode and then whenever I want to go to windows desktop I can set a "non steam game" as explorer.exe?

MMalice in Doom So theoretically could I disable that and make steam os boot in big picture mode...

Kyle Gospo•7/28/24, 6:54 PM

big picture mode isn't gamemode

Malice in DoomOP•7/28/24, 6:55 PM

My main goal is just how simplistic the steam OS is. Like KDE desktop is just so so nice

Kyle Gospo•7/28/24, 6:55 PM

you will be missing most features that matter

Malice in DoomOP•7/28/24, 6:55 PM

I see

Kasher_CS•7/28/24, 6:56 PM

Yes. Note that you don't need to disable that, but you need to make it run steam

Malice in DoomOP•7/28/24, 6:56 PM

Ohh smart!!

Malice in DoomOP•7/28/24, 6:56 PM

Okay

BlazinByte•7/28/24, 6:59 PM

I share a computer with my spouse and we each have a seperate hard drive they use windows I have linux. Booting both works fine as is but is there anyway to get grub to default load the windows partition I would rather be the one to have to manually pick mine.

Kasher_CS•7/28/24, 7:02 PM

grub2-set-defaultgrub2-set-default, I think

KKasher_CS Yes. Note that you don't need to disable that, but you need to make it run steam

Malice in DoomOP•7/28/24, 7:07 PM

Created a system restore point just in case haha. I'm now booting up we shall see if it worked

Crono•7/28/24, 7:10 PM

You can run explorer.exe through Task Manager

Malice in DoomOP•7/28/24, 7:15 PM

Yeah I know it was just in case since I know when you don't run explorer.exe at launch it doesn't let you access desktop features or toolbar

KKyle Gospo you will be missing most features that matter

Malice in DoomOP•7/28/24, 7:16 PM

But yeah just did it and it brings me to this since you don't have access to volume/muting and a little bit of other things so I'm going to keep experimenting

Kyle Gospo•7/28/24, 7:17 PM

Also no frame rate limiter, no refresh rate changes, no TDP control

Kyle Gospo•7/28/24, 7:17 PM

It's just a fancy steam ui

Kyle Gospo•7/28/24, 7:17 PM

No global FSR either

Kyle Gospo•7/28/24, 7:17 PM

It's just not even worth it

Malice in DoomOP•7/28/24, 7:18 PM

Got any ideas?

Do the keyboard keys not work?

Malice in DoomOP•7/28/24, 7:21 PM

I can bring the touchscreen keyboard up but the volume buttons on the actual device do not

is it normal in Fedora based distros to have systemd files unwritable as sudo?

AASCI Blue God Emperor of RGB is it normal in Fedora based distros to have systemd files unwritable as sudo?

Kyle Gospo•7/28/24, 7:31 PM

what path are you looking in?

KKyle Gospo what path are you looking in?

ASCI Blue God Emperor of RGB•7/28/24, 7:31 PM

/lib/systemd/system/bluetooth.service' is unwritable ]

AASCI Blue God Emperor of RGB is it normal in Fedora based distros to have systemd files unwritable as sudo?

HikariKnight•7/28/24, 7:32 PM

in atomic yes everything in /usr/usr and /lib/lib are not writable

HikariKnight•7/28/24, 7:32 PM

/etc/etc is writable

HHikariKnight in atomic yes everything in `/usr` and `/lib` are not writable

ASCI Blue God Emperor of RGB•7/28/24, 7:32 PM

that.. is unpleasant.

HikariKnight•7/28/24, 7:32 PM

and /usr/local/usr/local is writable

Kyle Gospo•7/28/24, 7:32 PM

and /var, of course

AASCI Blue God Emperor of RGB that.. is unpleasant.

HikariKnight•7/28/24, 7:32 PM

not really, just put the service file in /etc and move on with your day

ASCI Blue God Emperor of RGB•7/28/24, 7:33 PM

and a simple cp/mv bluetooth.service to /etc will work?

Kyle Gospo•7/28/24, 7:33 PM

yep

Kyle Gospo•7/28/24, 7:33 PM

sudo cp, of course

ASCI Blue God Emperor of RGB•7/28/24, 7:33 PM

indeed.

Kyle Gospo•7/28/24, 7:34 PM

you can also use the classic

Kyle Gospo•7/28/24, 7:34 PM

systemctl edit service.servicesystemctl edit service.service

Kyle Gospo•7/28/24, 7:34 PM

and change only what you need

Kyle Gospo•7/28/24, 7:34 PM

that writes to /etc

Kyle Gospo•7/28/24, 7:34 PM

without copying the entire file

ASCI Blue God Emperor of RGB•7/28/24, 7:34 PM

I've never seen that before.

ASCI Blue God Emperor of RGB•7/28/24, 7:37 PM

systemctl edit service.service didn't work for my need.

HikariKnight•7/28/24, 7:38 PM

a lot of people complaining that they cant change anything in atomic (that i have seen) dont realise they either
1. do it wrong (like trying to edit systemd files in /lib)
2. dont accept that its just different (make your own image if you want to do some deep system changes in /usr)
3. does not want to put in the effort to learn how it actually works

HikariKnight•7/28/24, 7:39 PM

the latter 2 being the ones that shoot it down without trying it from what i have seen so far

ASCI Blue God Emperor of RGB•7/28/24, 7:40 PM

I need the bluetooth.service file edited, for whatever reason bluetooth volume doesn't adjust by volume control and is always extrememly loud. I found a link on Ubuntu's forums about how to fix it and was able to do the same in Garuda/Manjar/Xero/Endevor, and a few others.

HikariKnight•7/28/24, 7:40 PM

i didnt know about that systemd had stuff in /etc that they used to override what it had in /lib before i used ublue

ASCI Blue God Emperor of RGB•7/28/24, 7:42 PM

I did that, it didn't work. I manually moved it too. It still didn't work.

HikariKnight•7/28/24, 7:42 PM

did you do systemctl daemon-reloadsystemctl daemon-reload and restart the service?

ASCI Blue God Emperor of RGB•7/28/24, 7:43 PM
