Eu sou completamente novo no steam os porém não no mundo Linux, eu comprei um kit novo para meu Pc que suporta bem o steam os (Ryzen 75700x + RX 9060xt) e pretendo usar o modo gaming mode do cachy os invez do bazzite pois gosto do Arch

Minhas dúvidas são as seguintes, eu ficarei muito grato a quem me responder 😁

- eu gostaria de compartilhar tela com meus amigos sem precisar deixar o gaming mode, é possível ? Vi na internet que o Discord não funciona muito bem nesse modo (gostaria de evitar o bing picture comum se possível)

- a função de zoom funciona apenas no gaming mode ou no bing picture também ? (Eu jogo na TV a distância e alguns textos me dão dificuldade para ler, eu gostaria de ter a função de zoom idêntica ao steam deck

-esse modo de zoom só está disponível em steamos correto?

- posso controlar se quero modo performance ou economia direto do gaming mode ? (Controlar minha CPU que as vezes é bem esquentadinho 🥲)

Desde já agradeço a atenção, estou muito ansioso para minhas peças chegarem e finalmente me livrar da NVidia 😁

Obs: vi algumas pessoas comentando que o Steam OS oferece mais desempenho que o próprio cachy no gaming mode, isso é verdade ?

when i select and set up my screen/window captures in OBS it works perfectly and really well but when I am finished using OBS and close it, OBS forgets and unpears all previous selected windows and loads multiple screen capture windows to repeat setting it up and do it all over again. Does anyone have a fix?

And for whatever reason witcher 3 remastered wont launch. I keep getting this error message when i try and launch it any ideas? I just want to play while im on the road since im not home much due to work...

I have been using the SteamRT3 beta on my laptop, but on SteamOS, I've not enabled it, as it breaks opening AppImages, with the latest beta update, it seems like RT3 is no longer optional.

The option has gone from my SteamOS machine, and my Laptop, and I can no longer open AppImages.

Anyone know if theres a way around this, or if there's a soon to come update to fix this?

FIXED: You have to go into desktop mode then change the compatibility tool to "Legacy Steam Runtime"
This cannot currently be chosen in the default console mode.

Not sure the best way to ask this, but with new launchers for Recomps, and Stores like Epic games and soon GOG Galaxy, I've noticed that some launchers don't realize that they're full screened, and SteamOS seems to zoom in automatically.

I've had something similar with Discord or Vesktop, when added to gamescope, seeming way to big, but then pressing F11 seemed to fix that.

Is there a gamescope command to tell the window that you're opening, that it's expected to take up the entire screen, or whatever ideal you'd need, given if you're a bit far back from the screen you might benefit from the blown up UI.

Hi all, I have a custom built SFF with SteamOS on it. Been struggling to find a solid USB dongle for Bluetooth - specifically for game controllers. The one I’m using now from my main tower works if I unplug it and plug it back in a few times. Once it’s working there are no issues with gamepad functionality. But I’d rather not have to keep removing and inserting - especially because I’d like to have it plugged into the I/O panel on the back.

Some initial research suggested the Edimax BT-8500, but I’ve not gotten it to work successfully at this point. Thank you in advance. I’ve searched some other threads on this sub and couldn’t quite find what I was looking for. So if someone has a link to a thread with the answer and I missed it - please send it my way.

Following the SteamOS October 13th update, I've made a video showcasing it's main new features. Nice update, I like it!

Has anyone like me had any issues or experienced issues with SteamOS? For example, games not booting or crashing before it even boots up, proton driver issues, etc., because before I installed Windows, I used SteamOS first, and I thought everything would be alright, so I tested the OS by installing and playing L4D2. It booted up, but I couldn't load into any map; it would just crash. Then I changed the proton drivers, and everything was fixed, and then I downloaded Wuthering Waves and played it. It would just crash even though I fixed it by changing the proton drivers. I couldn't play it in gaming mode; I would just go to desktop mode and play it there, and then I went to try and play my game library from Epic Games using Heroic. I played Jedi Survivor; it did launch, but my controller wasn’t responding to the game, but the OS itself recognized a mouse and keyboard connection even though i dont have either connected i may want to come back to SteamOS someday, but for now I'm just going to stick to Windows.

Has anyone else noticed VRR becoming noticeably less smooth after the recent SteamOS update?

I’m experiencing the same issue on two handhelds:

• Lenovo Legion Go 2
• ROG Xbox Ally X

Both were working smoothly about a week ago. Since updating, games fluctuating between roughly 50 and 70 FPS show obvious stuttering, where those same fluctuations previously felt smooth with VRR enabled. This also happens around 80–90 FPS.

I initially tested with MAKO frame generation set to 0, then completely removed the MAKO launch command from the game’s Steam properties and relaunched. The problem remains.

Interestingly, VRR still works properly on my Steam Machine connected to a VRR TV. That makes me suspect an issue affecting the handhelds’ built-in displays, rather than VRR being broken everywhere. This is only a hypothesis based on my three devices.

The issue appeared on SteamOS 3.8.28. I’ve also tried the 3.9 beta, without resolving it.

Anyone else experiencing this on a built-in VRR display? Please share your device, SteamOS version, and whether an older version or any workaround restores the previous smoothness.

Hey all! I’m trying to get fsr4.1 to run on stream os, it’s my first time trying optiscaler or anything like that but I’m not able to get monster hunter wilds to run. Any ideas why?

I’m running the newest experimental proton build, and I just updated steam os.

I downloaded all the fsr4 optiscaler files and placed them in the correct game files, not sure why I’m dealing with this.

I recently build a mini ITX system and installed SteamOS on it for our living room. I tested it after logging into Steam and installed Half-Life 2, worked great with my Steam Controller. I then didn't use it for a bit, and when I came back to it I decided to install Cyberpunk 2077 because I haven't played it yet. The game got stuck on the RedLauncher, but after putting in a command to bypass that, that game started fine too. However, no controller I've tried works. They all work fine in the OS itself, including using the Steam Controller in desktop mode.

This issue has extended to all games I've tried at this point from retro games and metroidvanias to Doom Eternal. As I understand it, there's a known issue with a version of dev/uinput that could be the cause, but I've tried every command that was recommended and the issue persists. Any assistance with this would be deeply appreciated, as I wanted to get this set up ultimately so that my wife could play on it while I use my SteamDeck for co-op gaming.

I'm a bit of a noob in the Linux space, but otherwise experienced in home IT. If there's something complicated you recommend I try, I'm sure I can handle it. Thanks in advance!

I take no credit for this, for the record. I just found it and thought it seemed like great work from the community on making SteamOS even better for different hardware.

I prefer to use my SM in desktop mode but when I wake from sleep audio thru HDMI does not work. Bluetooth works. Game mode audio works. When I switch back to desktop from game mode audio works but I'm sure this isn't how it's supposed to be.

The problem started since I last updated the OS to the latest version. Has anyone else had this problem? I've not been able to find a solution and I was wondering if I should revert to an older OS or use a beta version?

I'm not sure what to do but I find myself less and less interested in using the SM.

I don't plan on switching from windows but people don't like windows because of bloatware and junk. Some people want to switch to linux, but it has other problems. I never thought of it until today, why don't people use SteamOS?? Its got everything you can ask for.

Edit:

I was wrong, I thought linux was its own thing compared to steamOS.

I'm running the SteamOS 3.9.2 Beta and noticed that all of my games launch to full screen at 4k, but my monitors native resolution is 1440p. What's strange is that in those that I can change it in-game to 1440p, the resulting image actually looks blurry.

Open the Steam client's system report shows the following line from Steam about my desktop configuration:
steam[2844]: Desktop state changed: desktop: { pos: 0, 0 size: 6144,3440 } primary: { pos: 1158, 0 size: 3840,2160 }

That line suggests the Steam client believes my monitor is running at 4k, but I don't know where it gets that info from. When I open my display settings in SteamOS, it shows my monitor is running 1440p. When I open the OS drop down to choose a resolution, 4k isn't even an option there.

Is anyone aware of a way I can fix the Steam client's monitor configuration data?
