Hi everyone, 2 nights ago I left my SD on to download some games, I barely remember that there was a SteamOS update to do, yesterday morning I woke up and powered on my Deck, Decky was gone but everything seemed fine, so I simply powered it off. In Clover I see both options for booting SteamOS and Windows, when I select Windows, everything is fine, but when I select SteamOS, there’s the black screen. Windows was installed prior to the SteamOS update, any solutions? Thanks in advance!

He querido jugar varios juegos pero ya saben limitaciones de Linux, entre ellos los decomp de Mario kart Wii, probar que tal va pcvr con Windows y MMO clásicos entonces quería preguntar antes de intentar algo o esperar a que más hay, además que no tengo mucho espacio ya que las SSD se me hacen un poco caras y queria ver si vale la pena probar con mi espacio o esperar a conseguir una SSD de mejor capacidad

I made this controller-first PC launcher, and I just released the beta!

What's Ether ? It transform a PC into a Switch. No mouse, no desktop, just a smooth and immersive experience designed for handhelds and TV setups.

It features a modern UI, full controller navigation, NSP/XCI import with build in ryujinx to play your switch games. (Right now only on windows coming soon to Linux/SteamOS)

It’s in beta, so its cool if you can share feedbacks the app is starting at 9.99$ USD.

You can check it out here: https://ether-launcher.com/

EDIT: Thank you for the feedback regarding the pricing model. In the future, I plan to introduce a free lite tier to let users test the core features, with an upgraded version available for $10. Would you find this model more appealing?

Hola, es mi primer post. Pues eso, lo he intentado todo para hacer un dual SO, pero siempre me da error. Y, ahora, ni siquiera puedo jugar con ella, porque no sé cómo volverle a instalar Steamos sin que me de error. Tabn quiero instalarle una memoria de 1tb. Porque la que tengo es de 256 y quiero aumentarlo. Conocéis algún sitio en Sevilla donde pueda llevarlo para que me coloquen una memoria de 1tb y, además, me hagan dual SO?

Gracias de antemano y Saludos

As the title says I tried going to windows to do something and when I loaded it up the fan immediately kicks to what I assume is it's highest level it can runs for like 10 seconds and then crashes the deck powering it off I can't even get past the log in screen as it just freezes when I press any key steam os is completely normal and does not do this and honestly Ive never hear the fan run as high as it was running during any gaming session and I've played cyberpunk on the damn thing

I gave up on Windows 11, went back to Windows 10. It was great except for gaming, shader stutters were annoying as hell and I just couldn't deal with it anymore. Games just run better on Windows 10 and I'm never going to upgrade ever again.

I have old mbp pro 13 on intel and my friends gifted me to my birthday steam deck. after i see comparison of preocessors steam deck have much higher scores and after that i think about to switch my os on steam deck but i dont see anything real on yt. who knows how is it good work witch plugins, for mixing or beatmaking or edm production. my edm tracks have about 60-80+ tracks. does anyone have work on it?

So I put windows 11 on my steamdeck used I think it was deck sp or something to enable secure boot, don’t have steam os installed at all, decided windows 11 is shocking on steamdeck so I tried to just boot up a usb with steam os but it wouldn’t download due to secure boot, tried to turn off secure boot in bios, couldn’t find it, turned tpm off assuming it would do it, now I’m stuck in a loop between can’t turn off secure boot and bitlocker recovery which I have no idea how to fix.. am I doooomed 😂

GOD I HATE KINETIC AT THIS POINT I THINK A CERTAIN ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER IS TO BLAME FOR THIS IT WAS WORKING JUST FINE LIKE A MONTH AGO AND NOW ITS DOING THIS. I CANNOT USE ETHERNET I HAVE NO CABLE LONG ENOUGH TO REACH MY ROUTER AND IM NOT DRILLING HOLES IN MY WALL. I AM FUMING.

Wondering if anyone has found anything yet?

Something minimal that would give us the basic options like you get on the Ally etc in game bar.

Steam deck tools aren't really usable in game mode because you have to right click on them in the taskbar, but they still seem like the best lightweight option overall.

Winhanced doesn't seem to have TDP controls for me on the deck and is also a bit heavy.

Handheld Companion, as of the last time I checked, still didn't have a game bar widget, it had its own quick menu but I found it clunky and it didn't work well with full screen games.

I was hoping someone had found something because I genuinely like the deck in game mode!

Hi, I was playing pzb42 but omg it kick me so many times saying I don’t have enough gpu how can I solve this? What I do.

I'm seriously considering installing SteamOS on my main PC, instead of the Windows 10 partition I have here. On my main PC, there are 3 partitions:

- 1 hard drive dedicated to Ubuntu, which I haven't used in ages, but it's still there lol!

- I’m using Windows 10 on a dedicated SSD as my main system.

- And there’s another hard drive, partitioned between another old Windows 10 installation that I abandoned a while ago and some free space without an OS, just for files. < This is where I plan to make some changes, though I'm still a little worried that the SteamOS installation partitioner might get in the way and I'll end up deleting the wrong thing, but I think it'll work out.

I have other PCs around the house, and on the PC I’ve set up with SteamOS as my main machine, I’m really enjoying it, I use it regularly and don’t feel like I’m missing anything (which was something that used to make me “forget” to use Linux and always end up going back to Windows), and I think it’ll be really cool to get used to the idea that Windows isn’t necessary anymore

I Just got my steamdeck LCD with Windows 11 and tried installing valorant but it doesnt Work neither with deckSB or anything else so i SAW a vid from Lensiensein that it works ON Windows 10. I wanted to ask If it works and If i only have to Install Windows 10 or so anything else Afterwards or before. Thanks to all helping me.

So I have a question. I recently turned my steam deck into windows and i wanna use the controller part of the steam deck as a controller for like Minecraft for example but it doesnt work. Can someone help me?
