>so I can play simracing games on it with my moza wheel because I never want to close out of my projects on my laptop.

Isn't this what multiple workspace is for? Or is that only KDE

Try Bazzite

Right... I guess I'm just a little surprised that there isn't a solution akin to Fedora Atomics' rpm-ostree.

Rpm-ostree isn't really a traditional package manager (that would be pacman, which SteamOS *does* apparently have even though it presumably doesn't work correctly).

Ah, so it is. Quick Google search tells me that layering packages isn't even supported on SteamOS, which seems weird to me.

So I'm guessing pacman doesn't work properly since it's immutable... What are your options besides flatpak and distrobox?

Huh.

I am speaking from Bazzite experience so it might be slightly different, but I wouldn't do #2. What I would do is install distrobox (pre installed on Bazzite, with boxbuddy for gui), create an Arch distrobox, and use that to access AUR.

If you want to install a package, you layer it using rpm-ostree. Don't fuck with the immutability imo

>And at reboot? It wouldn’t mount my _internal_ drives!

This seems unrelated to your controller?

Oh shit, I'm glad I saw this and checked my tracking since it was delivered yesterday and sat on my porch overnight 😬

Everything is playable with controller with Steam Input

SteamInput basically allows you to map anythning to anything. You can also create all sorts of custom shit like radial menus, button toggles, macros, etc.

It's really impressive actually.

It's not a "work around" though, it's how it's supposed to be used

>not sure if this works with the controller or not

It will, because of SteamInput

I don't see it as a workaround as it's my preferred way of playing non-Steam games anyway.

I'm pretty sure Steam doesn't need to be connected to the internet to launch non Steam games. So your weird point about sharing game data with them is moot

Steam Input is awesome, and rarely gets the love it deserves.

I remember what it was like back when it was a toss up as to whether or not a game was going to recognize my controller without some additional program that maps keyboard keys to controller bottoms.

I'm not sure. However, I can say that I got a PS Portal when it went on sale s few months back, and the quality on that thing blows chiaki out of the water. It's also nice having all the Dual Sense features built in. Haven't used my deck to stream PS5 since.

That was before this update though so maybe now it's on par

Worst comes to worst, Valve support is great in my experience. I sent my Deck in for repair after I broke it (def my fault), and they sent me a completely new unit at no cost.

You can reinstall SteamOS very easily

Awesome game... I gotta go back and continue playing
