saturnotaku Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 A group has modified the Steam Deck recovery software to be compatible with desktop hardware. Right now only AMD and Intel GPUs are supported, and there are a couple features that don't work because they're closely tied to the Steam Deck hardware. However, this port is 95% of the way there and with a bit of tweaking could easily be used as a daily driver operating system. Once NVIDIA support is added, and a few more of the bugs are worked out, I'll be very tempted to switch my desktop over while keeping my laptop on Windows to play Xbox Game Pass titles. 2 Desktop: Ryzen 9 5950X | 32 GB RAM | Radeon RX 6500 XT | 2 TB SSD | Windows 11 MacBook Pro 14: M3 Pro 12-core CPU | 18 GB RAM | 18-core GPU | 1 TB SSD | macOS Lenovo IdeaPad 3 Gaming: Ryzen 7 6800H | 16 GB RAM | GeForce RTX 3050 | 512 GB SSD | Windows 11 Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro: Ryzen 5 5600U | 16 GB RAM | Radeon Graphics | 512 GB SSD | Windows 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoL, Brother @saturnotakuI watched this video today and came to start a thread relating to it. You beat me to the punch, bud. 🙂 Great minds think alike. Yes, Brother @jaybee83they were/are supposed to. Winduhz gets dumber and crappier by the day, so waiting for Steam to release an "official" replacement for Windoze probably isn't the best idea. Winduz needs to go away sooner rather than later. It is only suitable for losers and wimps at this point, but we all end up stuck tolerating its incredible suckiness due to not having an alternative. 2 Banshee // Z690 Dark K|NGP|N | 13900KS | Arc A770 Phantom Gaming OC | 48GB DDR5-8000 | RM1200x SHIFT | XT45 1080 Nova || Dark Base Pro 901 Wraith // Z790 Apex | 13900KS | 4090 Suprim X+Byksi Block | 48GB DDR5-8600 | Toughpower GF3 1650W | MO-RA3 360 | Hailea HC-500A || O11D XL EVO Half-Breed // Dell Precision 7720 | BGA CPU Filth+MXM Quadro P5000 | Sub-$500 Grade A Refurb | Nothing to Write Home About Mr. Fox YouTube Channel | Mr. Fox @ HWBOT The average response time for a 911 call is 10 minutes.

This is looking great. I'm not crazy about the .exe workaround and having to spoof through Steam, but at least it is total proof of concept that it is possible!

ratchetnclank Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 It would be great to have Valve creating a desktop OS alternative with a company wanting to provide a good financial backing to a true desktop linux. Canonical has Ubuntu but i feel the desktop version isn't great these days as they have shifted more focus to enterprise. Red hat has fedora which while good and stable i'd much prefer an arch based like valve are doing and hopefully with a "gaming" focused OS it will see more developers wanting to support linux or at least wanting support via proton for their games.

LoneSyndal Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 The rumormill on the Steam Deck modding scene I am in is that SteamOS 3.0 is the finished product once most of the major issues on SD is resolved. There are many issues relating to how the UI works with individual titles. Also needs full anticheat support 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wine-GE through Lutris is another solution and will feel less hacky. If it's a Steam game, Proton is perfect though.
