I wonder why they didn’t go with the Valve one. Maybe they wanted to make changes that Valve didn’t want to permit? I’m assuming that Valve would have permitted or even assisted them in using stock Steam OS, of course… Sitting in a hospital waiting room, wishing I’d brought my Deck..

I considered trying HoloISO out but didn’t because I assumed it would have a ton of jank to it. Seeing even a small company slap it on a handheld makes me think either the OS is better than I thought or they are out of their goddamn minds and I’m curious which it is I believe the concenious is to use Chimera OS if you want to consolise a computer.

Like I said Anbernic already shipped an official version of SteamOS on their Win600 handheld so it's not like Valve is unwilling to do it. Metric Skeleton posted:Has anybody messed with HoloISO?

HoloISO was good around the Deck's launch but it hasn't been maintained and lacks a lot of features now. If you want a solid TV box thing then your 2 best options are ChimeraOS, a version of Debian that tries to replicate it as close as possible or Emudeck for Windows which has an option that'll boot directly into Steam Big Picture without loading the full Windows desktop but I haven't tried that for myself.

I mean, I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with using HoloISO in the sense of promoting open platform use but it's also a hobbyist project that Ayaneo doesn't actually seem interested in contributing to.

Has anyone heard of game compatibility differences between the Steam Deck and the Steam Deck OLED? I bought the Steam Deck OLED LE at launch, but I only just opened and set it up this week. When I started playing LogiArt Grimoire, I realized that it has sound on my Steam Deck, but not on my Steam Deck OLED LE.  Other games play sound correctly on my OLED LE, and although it uses the same Proton as the original Steam Deck, I tried a couple different versions just in case, but no change. The game is still early access, but I don't want to send such an odd bug report if there's something else I'm maybe overlooking on a fresh unit?

This, in every sense. It's fundamentally good to have SteamOS variants so for example every handheld isn't hostage to Valve's release schedule like they are to Windows. But the vendor then needs to own and maintain the variant. HoloISO seems to be using Valve's public releases of the core, so they shouldn't have much work to do on most packages - where Valve's major releases are themselves infrequent. But I haven't tried any of them. If you're on a Linux desktop, there are options to login to Steam Big Picture with gamescope as your manager on some of them. I played with one on Arch a year and a half ago.

One of these days I really need to get off my rear end and roll a dual-boot on my desktop to try out gaming and living in Linux for a while. I would really, really like to just say goodbye to windows in general, and the deck has given me a tantalizing view of what that might look like from an entertainment perspective.

Check out the Linux gaming thread: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=4004994 It was the Deck that made me go back to Linux as primary after decades of OS X + Windows. It's great for gaming today.

It didn't really work on my OLED Deck until I increased the VRAM in BIOS. I increased swap file size at the same time but I don't think that was the issue. I didn't make either of those changes to the LCD Deck.

All items delivered. As much as I want to just buy the drat deck now, I can't until end of day at the earliest. Just incase there's an issue with the items to whoever I sold them to. Patience, Rad... Just breathe nothing will be wrong. But be a little patient, you can wait a few more hours to order the Deck...

Snackmar posted:Has anyone heard of game compatibility differences between the Steam Deck and the Steam Deck OLED? Sorry goon, can't help you with your problem but I actually came to post about Logiart Grimoire myself, because it's pretty good (on my LCD Deck) Though now after ~32 hours played I'm running into 30x30 and even 40x30 boards and those... those are too much, too many numbers to keep track of in a line and strains the eyes. 20x20 is the sweet spot, IMO. And the fusing mechanic is just unnecessary - but not a huge deal. Basically for anyone that wants a good Picross game, check it out - it's by the same folks that make the Picross S series on the Switch, best-in-class stuff basically.

I'll pass it on to Jupiter if Valve says it's not a hardware problem. Meanwhile, If someone else loves picross and has an OLED or OLED LE model with audio, please let me know!

When’s the end of your day? Are you planning on using PayPal, or just your credit card directly? What shipping option will you use? e: My deck came by UPS. How is UPS where you are? What time of the day do they generally deliver? TIA

Steam Deck had some issue where games would get muted in the system volume mixer and you needed to boot to desktop mode to fix it somehow? Dunno the specifics, but doesn't seem to be a general OLED issue.
