I know that I didn't touch steam settings on my devices, yet now they use the bazzite animations
I know that I didn't touch steam settings on my devices, yet now they use the bazzite animations
Pright... but you can change them through the steam client yeah?
Pi thought that was like. a whole ass feature.
ZOut of the box?
AI installed bazzite on my devices a while back, so I can't say anything about recent installations. But I do know that I didn't have the custom bazzite suspend animation until more recently.
AAnd it started being automatically being used on my device after an OS update
AI don't mind the animations, so not a big deal to me
ABut I had naively assumed bazzite was now de-facto enabling their animations
Tman it feels great to be back to bazzite
Pi might not be making sense because i think i poisoned myself today but i think as long as you can just change some settings to get the old anims back, it's a non-issue?
ZI think there was a change to copy over the animations to the steam directory each time it started
ZCan you try changing the animation to steam one, restart and see if it is kept?
RThat’s right. Because of that, they become the de facto default, and Steam doesn’t honor the choice I make within the GUI
RIt’s not kept. That’s what I’m alluding to here.
Pto be fair you didn't really elaborate on that until now
Pgood to know though
ZAhhh I see
RYou are correct
ZProbably this then
Pi think this is definitely an issue if we can't change anims anymore
Pmaybe this is the only way to get it to default to bazzite anims?
Pat that point i don't think it's even worth having
RYeah, that script you pointed to is definitely the ‘culprit’, in this instance. Don’t get me wrong, the Bazzite one is nice and all, but not being able to change to another one any more is an issue.
ZYeah that's fair
Pyeah it honestly doesn't look good on bazzite the way it is
Pbazzite anims are nice but if they break everything else they might as well be a disease
Pperhaps this is something valve is blocking a little
ZNah, don't think so, probably is their client doing checksum checks and overriding files for update purposes
Pi mean not having a proper mechanism to set default anims
Pmaybe valve doesn't want people rebranding their software before users ever get to experience it
AI thought that valve enabled overriding the startup animation, but not the suspend animation?
Pjust a thought
AOr maybe my knowledge is outdated
Pright but it appears this is a hard override not just a default you can swap
ZPersonally, nah. They go for the least effort route. "If the file is there, use it" approach. No need to reinvent the wheel
Pi would agree except that this is focusing on the topic of removing valve's trademarks from their software in a third-party distribution
Peven if it's unlikely i can see how they might land on the conclusion that this is bad behaviour
ZAlso I retract what I said. If they were doing that, the animations would probably be overwritten with our workaround, since steam client is started after we move the animations in
Pi'm too sick to have even picked up on that thank you 
Pbut yeah i just lean towards the side of valve maybe not going out of their way to implement this properly because it opens the door for actual licence violating companies to debrand their stuff
Pi wouldn't say bazzite is doing anything wrong but other people would see fit to abuse this
AJust booted my device, as far as I can tell, overriding the suspend animation is not supported by steam.
There's no option in the steam client to set the suspend animation
There's no option in the steam client to set the suspend animation
ASo since bazzite is overriding the suspend animation, the user would need to manually alter the files to change it back
ZIn theory this could be done with a service that triggers only the first time Bazzite boots
ZOk now that's an issue
AThere options for the startup movie and a wake movie, but no suspend
RAnother weird observation in all of this is what happens if I replace the oled_startup.webm file from the steamui-folder to the deck_startup.webm one within uioverrides. Then the “correct” Steam startup plays, naturally, but it plays at 2x size for some reason. Making it appear pixelated and ‘blown up’
AI can also confirm that I can't seem to get the default boot animation
RThanks for confirming 
ZYeah, checked desktop and that doesn't happen, probably cuz this https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite/blob/main/system_files%2Fdesktop%2Fshared%2Fusr%2Fbin%2Fbazzite-steam#L8
RThat’d explain it, yeah
