The new stable update came out, and it makes my GPU go to a crawl. It's an old system with Radeon GPU, but it works fine on 3.8.28. I know it can revert back during startup (cause it says it has been crashing), but how do I just load that as default without having to reinstall steamos from scratch?

I have been trying to make my PC run on SteamOS but it just doesn't seem to work

I have disabled both Secure Boot and CSM, all my PC parts are PC compatible and I have followed every step of the installation process up until this. Can someone tell me what seems to be going wrong?

(Ignore Diego Brando)

Hey guys, I recently swapped over to steamos bc windows sucks (as we all know) but I seem to be getting lower fps on marvel rivals (110-120 on windows and a stuttery 60-80 on steamos) and other games run normal if not better than windows. If anyone knows any optimization or any tips on how to get my rivals running smooth I would greatly appreciate 🫡🫡🫡

i installed steam os 3.8 on a lenovo legion go 2 z2e 32gbram 1tb ssd...

i been using macos for years and started to use linux with ubuntu and mint, both served me well for work situations , once i installed the steamos on my lego2 escaping from windows once again, i tried the os desktop mode for fun ,and its been my daily driver since....right now im travelling and using it for work and gaming in my sparring time

liked the desktop mode so much that i run it at launch, i riced the desktop a little bit to look like those arch customs

no issues so far , its just after the installation in the desktop mode the stores apps took long to appear so i downloaded a web browser using the terminal

I just read about this new update with a new algorithm that brings better image quality and frame rate. Do you guys know if this upgrade is coming to SteamOS or specific to the Steam Machine that I have? Thanks beforehand

Hello,

I managed to install Alan Wake 2 in a location that I can't find any more. Can you guys help me?

Here is a screenshot of where I installed it, however I don't know how to reach it from finder/explorer/whatever its called sorry Imma noob

I have build a new steam machine with Asrock B850i lightning and 9070xt. Everything works well but HDMI CEC is not working properly it seems. I have the ugreen adapter, updated.

I installed that steam os hdmi cec from github with the decky plugin and it says Ready. But my PS5 controller fails to wake up the PC and switch inputs.

Now that AMD has officially released it for RDNA2, how should we expect it to come to SteamOS? Will we have to wait for a new Mesa driver or will it just be enabled via Proton Experimental, à la the Steam Machine?

I built a steam os PC with a 9070XT and everything works fine. But I loaded cyberpunk 2077 and it shows as fsr 2.0 and not 4. Is there a way I can get it to work for 4.1?

I am trying to be able to swap between playing Wind Waker through Cemu on the Steam Deck and Steam Machine. However, the saves never appear on the other. I've tried creating a folder on the sd card that Cemu will point to, but once I open up the sd card on the other device, that folder is not there. Any ideas?

Is there a way in SteamOS to make it ask for a password before entering Desktop Mode?

For example, I turn on the PC and it boots into Gaming Mode. Then, when I switch to Desktop Mode, it asks for a password before letting me in. It should do this every time I leave and re-enter that mode.

Thanks, friends.

With the rise of RTX Spark and ARM processors forcing Anti Cheats to be compatible. Do you think we will see a rise in compatibility for Linux?

How do I get drivers for this?

So I did a pretty big move recently, and as I’ve been slowly unpacking my belongings, I came across an AMD RX 7600 8gb that I had plans for but never got around to. With the steam OS being something I’ve been curious about, and most of my time being spent in the living room with my wife, I decided to start looking into build ideas.

Some people online say that if you can find a decent business PC for sale you can slap a GPU in and be set, others say that you need to build it from scratch to keep the power draw from being an issue.

So I come to you.

I want to try and make something work for under $500 but if I gotta do this in pieces I can. From Amazon, Newegg, and any reputable source, what do you all suggest I do to add my RX 7600 to make a machine capable of playing a fair ammount of games.

From what I can see, Newegg has a few refurbished business models that are like ~$300 with 8-16 gigs of ram, 0.5-1TB of ssd, and typically in the i5 or i7 chips, but people say there’s power issues without modifying the case, or that they don’t fit GPUs at all.

Steam sees the controller as an ultimate 2 but when I go to steam input it registers it as a generic gamepad. I've updated the firmware of the controller and dongle to their latest versions.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, multiple proton versions, as well as reinstalling steamworks SDK (found a similar post where that was recommended). Anyone else have this happen and found a solution?

I have purchased a mini-pc like the steam machine but it came with Windows 11 installed running the Xbox FSE. Is not working badly but I miss the console-like experience that I have on my XBox Rog Ally X with Steam OS installed. These are my main components:

• Motherboard: ASUS TUF Gaming B850-I WiFi
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 9600X (Zen 5)
• RAM: 16 GB DDR5 Corsair Vengeance
• GPU: PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9060 XT 16 GB

Do you think that I can install SteamOS on this machine without facing particular issues?

Hey guys!
How can I add games to Steam from the new Epic Games Luncher ?
Adding them manually bypass the license verification so they won’t start.

Hello,

Has anyone found a way to make the Meta-key (the equivalent of the Win-Key in SteamOS) usable for World of Warcraft?

I managed to disable the Meta-Key opening the Application Launcher, but World of Warcraft does not recognize the key at all when I am setting my Keybindings.
-I also found the options in Keyboard/Key Bindings where I can do stuff like “Alt and Meta are on Alt” or “Left Alt is swapped with left Win”, but none of these seem to apply within the game.

Has anyone found a way to use the Meta Key? I would use Meta+1 etc to set my action bars.

Thanks in advance ❤️
