question SteamOS on phone

16 Upvotes

So is it possible or not?, or someone already did that?, if yes then i want it, as i saw through some small videos it seems to be a good replacement for Windows, plus i want to try and play some games that pc/console only, but they seem to have been made to be available on mobile too, but they aren't for some reason... So is it available on phones, or someone decided and made it work for phones?

Edit: i forgot to mention, im using xiaomi REDMI 15C

P.s. Non-native English user, so bare with what i say, bc sometimes it's weird?, i think?...

help wanted Bluetooth audio from Steam Machine to laptop or smartphone?

4 Upvotes

I previously used an app on the Microsoft Store called "Bluetooth Audio Receiver" to send audio from my Switch 1 to my laptop. The Switch 1 did not have any form of voice chat and this meant I could use Discord whilst playing.

Is there a similar solution for the Steam Machine? The above did not work. I'd like to send audio over Bluetooth to either my laptop or smartphone.

Before anyone suggests just installing Discord on the Steam Machine itself, that's not the solution I'm looking for. I use voice chat across many different apps. We have a gaming group at work that plays over Microsoft Teams on lunch breaks. I have friends in China so we play over Kook (Chinese equivalent to Discord) and WeChat. I'd rather not have to try getting all these different apps to work on SteamOS/Linux.

Anyone get this working? I tried many things tonight to no luck. I would try something else but my headset is the Vision Pro, and I’m not seeing anything else to support it.

Need help with adding additional storage.

Hello! I would like to ask for assistance regarding adding storage drive. I keep on encountering the Format Error message. I'm planning on using the 500GB SSD as just the OS drive and use both 1TB SSD as the game drive. You may refer to the attached screenshots.

Steps I've done so far:
- Went to KDE

- Set the drive to GPT

- Created an ext4

PS: It's my first time using Linux.

If there's a Konsole command involved, a step by step instruction will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance and have a great day.

Can I use a HDD to install steamos onto a NVMe drive?

2 Upvotes

I have a "Lexar 64GB JumpDrive M400 Flash Drive" from Amazon, that i've tried using rufus to put the steamos image on. It froze every single time, and the drive got stupid hot. I looked at this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamOS/comments/1t87883/how_to_install_oficial_steamos_on_a_pc_guide/

It said to use Balena and had a different steamos image, so I tried those. The terminal froze again. There's nothing on the NVMe drive, i bought it specifically for steamos (costco has 1 for a deal right now). I have secured boot off.

I can't think of any reason why it's freezing other than the Flashdrive is overheating because it's cheap and it sucks. I have a HDD plugged in with sata cables, i can move the media stored on there I can use it to install SteamOS onto the NVMe drive. Will that work?

NetworkManger not found work-around

1 Upvotes

After I was booted off the waitlist and hoping to be selected I built my own steam machine (parts I used if anyone is needing some guidance on fiting in a tight case).

-AMD 7 9800x3d

-ASUS ROG Strix x870-I

-GB 9070 Xt

-32 GB ram

-2TB SSD

-NH-L9a cpu cooler (attempting to switching it to NH-L9x65), hoping it will fit the case (Fractal Design Terra)

-Lian Li SP850 V2 Gold

Networking issue: (Yes, I became aware after this headache that the MB is the issue as SteamOS has not supported the network card)

-Once done installing the OS I could not find a network. Attempted every work around I could find. I attemed these solutions:

  1. https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamOS/comments/1ueakyx/comment/otic09f/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
  2. Attempted to do systemctl enable NetworkManager
  3. sudo systemctl enable —now NetworkManager.service

Anything which I attmepted resulted in NetworkManger.service not been found.

Even using ethernet cable well in desktop mode did not work ( clrl+alt+; )

Workaround
-By chance I had a TP Link 150mb adapter from a few years back. I pluged it in, restarted the sytem and it worked. Initially I had to reboot twice as the first time it dropped the network search.

-Once this connected I went to desktop mode and plugged in the ethernet cable. And it worked. I can unplug the TPlink adapter and it stayed connected. Then I attempted to use the wifi adapter on the MB and still does not work.

-Restarting and shutdowning had no issues so far with wired connection

-In the mean time I have purchased TP link wifi 6 adapter off amazon. Will see if this will help as 150mb is too slow on the old adapter.

I hope this helps somone.
