i dont own an oled myself but from what i remember the oleds main issue is the installer experience being shit
Kyle has an oled and uses bazzite with it though, he would be better at answering it for you since he has the actual device

newer gpu drivers and mesa stack, newer kernel, better desktop experience and better application support (you can layer fedora packages with rpm-ostree without disabling immutability)

HikariKnight•8/1/24, 11:53 AM

i do not run bazzite on my deck myself as i need it for AB testing
but kyle runs bazzite on all his decks

JohnnySoulja•8/1/24, 11:54 AM

lol i only had Bazzite on my ally x for 20mins and its already better then windows

HikariKnight•8/1/24, 11:54 AM

use layering as a last resort though for things that need tight intergration with the system

JohnnySoulja•8/1/24, 11:55 AM

i have a gaming pc for any game that dont work on steam os

HikariKnight•8/1/24, 11:55 AM

since layering will slow down updates since it has to re-install the rpm/package after each update (it does this automatically, it just takes extra time)

Not quite sure what they expected to happen when they clicked the "return to gaming mode" with a virtual gpu (which automatically is unsupported)

Especially since we have a virtual machine option on the downloader

EsauFtgz•8/1/24, 12:11 PM

I blinked too fast and thought I saw 'disable touch grass' when I first saw that setting

EsauFtgz•8/1/24, 12:11 PM

JohnnySoulja•8/1/24, 12:24 PM

JJohnnySoulja hmm i went to steam os beta now handheld damon wont open

HikariKnight•8/1/24, 12:28 PM

soudns like you might be in for some testing in steam beta

antheas•8/1/24, 12:39 PM

turns out the rustlets that made oci-rs-spec decided to invent their own json standard

Aantheas soudns like you might be in for some testing in steam beta

HikariKnight•8/1/24, 12:39 PM

oh boy

antheas•8/1/24, 12:39 PM

and skopeo cant read their own json standard

antheas•8/1/24, 12:39 PM

i hate rust developers even more than rust

antheas•8/1/24, 12:40 PM

they invented their own json standard their own tools cant even read

antheas•8/1/24, 12:40 PM

and on the main doc header of the crate they write as much

antheas•8/1/24, 12:40 PM

so im patching that and then ill look into it

JohnnySoulja•8/1/24, 12:46 PM
