I have noticed that trying to return to gaming mode after a long period in desktop mode triggered a reboot more often than not. My impression was that Steam updates that occur in desktop mode would trigger a restart, when attempting to return to gaming mode. That made the SD feel janky, with long restart times.
Don’t get me wrong, I found the SD to be a very versatile device, priced very competitively (compared to low-end gaming laptops for example). I will likely buy its successor if and when it comes out. As a portable gaming device, it’s the best deal around. As a daily driver PC, it’s okay but not great.
I’d say there is nothing too wild about my peripherals: 1080p60 display, USB mouse and keyboard and the occasional PS4 controller. Everything is indeed pretty much plug n play. However in my experience things go south after a while (sometimes days, sometimes weeks) and get fixed after a full restart cycle. Hard to say where it comes from exactly but the dock is a prime suspect.
Bought these to make the most out of those shipping costs. I do not tinker all that much, but having adequate tools like those certainly is a big help.
I also used them to replace the sticks of a Nintendo Switch joy cons with hall effects ones. I saw that similar components are available for the SD, but I currently have no drift problem, so …
I am not aware of better options than the Huaying fan for an OG Steam Deck LCD. Did you have something specific in mind ?
It was OK but not great. I used the official dock and had frequent peripherals issues which could were only solved by rebooting both the SD and the dock. Turning it off and on again is more a Windows that a Linux thing usually, so that was disappointing.
On the software side, the “flatpak” way of applications delivery usually works well, except when the Discover “store” randomly chooses to offer downgrades instead of upgrades. I used software such as Firefox, GIMP, LibreOffice, OpenShot, OpenRGB, LosslessCut, LocalSend with no hassle.
As expected, gaming performance on a 1080p screen was not as smooth as the native SD screen resolution. I would not recommend it for games needing a bit of oomph unless you are fine with sub 30fps.
Not sure what you mean. I got this one: https://www.ifixit.com/products/steam-deck-original-model-fan?variant=39723201658983
Dès fois que les plus jeunes n’aient pas la référence, étant donné que ça date un peu : https://youtu.be/jQ7JMeVqT9Q?t=31
It was setup as a desktop PC for my kid, (official dock, 1080p display, kb+m) for the last year and a half. Bit of an experiment on my part here, because I was curious to know if it was really viable.
The short answer is: yeah, kinda, but with big caveats.
The long answer is:
Je ne connais pas de communautés correspondant à ce que tu décris. Tu pourrais reposer ta question dans !forumlibre@jlai.lu par exemple et commencer à interagir en français et/ou anglais (le serveur francophone https://jlai.lu/ accepte les participations en anglais).
Just in case there is any misconception: this particular post does not emanate from anyone at Roblox. This is the Vinegar team closing shop and giving context. Vinegar was an open source project which made it easy to run Roblox on Linux.
Roblox Corporation is the one telling a (likely very small) portion of their paying userbase to fuck off.
I do not know, but the Vinegar people give it straight:
Also last time around Wine support was broken for like 6 months and no one found a workaround. It was Roblox devs who re-enabled it later.
Welcome, you’re in for a treat !
I mean, it would be a bad look if one of the 8 most played games on SD in 2023 was gimped in 2024…
Complete written instructions are in fact in the video description, too. Here they are, for first timers 😉
- While the Steam Deck is powered off, hold the 3dots (QAM) and turn on the Steam Deck.
- The recovery menu will appear. On your keyboard highlight the 3rd option - CURRENT (OS Boot Menu) then press enter.
- The GRUB menu will appear. Highlight the 1st option - SteamOS then on your keyboard press “e” to edit the boot options.
- Press down cursor on the keyboard until steamenv_boot is highlighted. Press “end” to go to the end of the line.
- Enter the command -
systemd.debug_shell
- Press CTRL-X to boot!
- Once SteamOS loads, press CTL-ALT-F9 on the keyboard to access the root debug shell.
- Enter the command -
passwd deck
- Enter new password and retype the new password.
- Once done, press CTL-ALT-F1 on the keyboard to go back to game mode.
Yes, it would have worked. It’s basically the nuclear option however, so definitely not my first choice. Generally speaking, you can reset credentials of any computer you have physical access to. The question is, how much data do you lose in the process.
I’ve been using Keepass for years for this ! And yet in the fever of tinkering with the hot new toy back then, forgot to save the password. But yes, this time around I did save it 😅 .
Comme quoi, on n’est jamais à l’abri d’une bonne surprise.
