Heyyy, Im gonna get my first xax 20th edition soon, yayyyy. Anyway, for those you have installed steamos on the xax:

- is everything okay? Anything not working? Like sound, tdp setting, light… anything thats need a plugin from decky?
- is the sleep wake works fine?

-!!! Do you need window to update driver? Or do you need to update everything on window before install steamos?

I have been using dualboot for bazzite and window for some handhleds but because I dont want to crack up the xax just to upgrade the ssd, so I preffer wipe out the window completely, is it okay to do that?

Thanks a lott

I use my pc as a gaming machine and a plex server at the same time. I want to do the same if I move to steam os from windows

Anyone managed to run plex server on steam os?

Does the server still run even while you are on game mode?

Just a quick tutorial since i had some people asking. nothing complicated

https://github.com/Dingo-Shenanigans/ReSkate

launch options your choice it'll still run without it.

steam:
-windowed --width=1280 --height=800 -WorldRender.FrameSynthesisMode FrameSynthesisMode_None -Render.ResolutionScale 1 -Render.ResolutionScaleMin 1 -Render.DynamicResolutionScaleEnable 0

lutris:
--offline --windowed --width=1280 --height=800 -WorldRender.FrameSynthesisMode FrameSynthesisMode_None -Render.ResolutionScale 1 -Render.ResolutionScaleMin 1 -Render.DynamicResolutionScaleEnable 0

Cannot get speeds beyond 30mbs on a gigabit connect. Windows pc in the same room also on 6E is 500+. Driver issues perhaps? System is a steamos living room pc. A620 motherboard with wifi 6E on a Realtek chipset

Welcome back OGs https://github.com/Dingo-Shenanigans/ReSkate

running through lutris.

graphics at medium preset.

make your own "reskate." folder and then move the zip you just downloaded from the github inside there.

add the reskate launcher.exe to lutris.

point the start folder to your reskate folder.

make a "pfx" folder inside the reskate folder. point the lutris prefix to that pfx folder you made inside the reskate folder.

then launch it sign into your steam account and let it do the rest...point it towards your reskate folder and bam you now you have your own offline copy.

have fun.

Hello I want to install SteamOS on my PC but I am stucked while being almost finished.

I am connected on my PC with a Ethernet Kabel. But SteamOS does not find a network.

The internet worked before that when I was on the desktop. But not in the setup ans I can't continue with out it.

Since my Mainboard has no wifi and I dont have a stick do I need go buy one or is there a way to get a network with Ethernet

I have installed Steam OS on my PC. There is Android game that has Windows PC launcher, but the it's too much hassle to install the launcher. So i want to play it on Android emulator. Is there any way to do it? i check guide on waydroid, it's kinda dead for now.

update:

The issue has been fixed; just log out from the CDPR launcher and reject telemetry.

When I move my mouse my screen moves with this .

Any idea how to fix this ? Happened after my son played with the keyboard .

Motherboard is a MSI MAG B850 TOMAHAWK MAX WIFI II ATX AM5 Motherboard

Have installed the Wi-Fi antenna but I cannot find any network, let alone my own.

Anyone able to help???

Hi Im a newbie on playing steam machine/steamOs. Can anyone teach me like i’m a 12yr old? I want to play a lot of videogames but they’re all MS compatible TIA :)

Just got my gamesir and i had one prior with 1k polling the g7 se and worked fine but the 8k is recognized but Rocket league doesnt detect the input. I used both with disabling Steam input as that worked fine before with the se as its less input lag but now it doesnt work for my 8k. Anyone else with same issue or fix?

SteamOS : 3.8.28 build 202609221.1

Solved: for some reason the remote wasn't in Xinput and was being seen as generic controller and not an Xbox controller

Hello there, I recently built a computer with Steam OS, I am having a blast with it so far! I want to download Lego racer 2 to play with my kids now, it was my favourite childhood game. Where can I get it from, and what’s the safest and best way to get it on the steam computer? I don’t mind paying for it if it is available somehow! Thanks for you help.

Anyone tried official steam os on their LeGo 1 and the speakers not working? Mine isn't Ive tried 3 new installs with different steam os images, the alsamixer fix and checked windows to see if the speakers still worked (they do). When testing the speakers on desktop mode they work but wont reproduce any sound. Speakers show as "(unavailable)" but when selected and I turn up the volume they make feedback sounds. Im going crazy but I just dont like the windows experience on handheld.

I recently found a deal on an open box 16tb hdd and enclosure on fb marketplace, as my steam collection grows I thought of just having it supplement my steam library as well as other pirate hargh hargh things I won't talk about here, my question is, my main device with steam os is my legion go 2, can I safely run my games from the external hdd?? I mean I have an external hdd connected to my ps5 and I run my ps4 games from it.

I apologize if this has been asked but seeing how ludicrous the price is for an SSD, a 2tb micro sd is like 344 dollars and climbing and a mini ssd like 600 plus, and an internal ssd... Well I don't want to open my device up yet, and yes even more expensive stuff to think about, I landed this massive hdd at under 300 with enclosure and never used or set up, literally can house everything for me, I just wonder if I'm gonna have issues playing games while docked which is probably gonna be the big majority of my use, as I only undock it when I am going to travel and most times I grab my ayn odin 2 portal to go.

If there is a setting in steam that I need to do please also let me know

I wanted to use SteamOS more like a normal desktop system and found a pretty simple setup that works well for me.

First, I created a password for my SteamOS user in Desktop Mode.

Then I changed the default login mode from Gaming Mode to Desktop Mode:

steamosctl set-default-login-mode desktop

To switch back later:

steamosctl set-default-login-mode game

I also wanted Meta + L / Windows + L to behave like a normal desktop lock shortcut, so I assigned the following command to Meta + L in KDE's keyboard shortcuts:

loginctl lock-session

The only thing that still bothered me was that SteamOS would automatically log into the desktop after boot.

My workaround was simply adding this command to KDE Autostart as well:

loginctl lock-session

So now SteamOS:

• boots directly into Desktop Mode
• automatically shows the lock screen after startup (benefit: other applications like Steam still loading in background)
• can be locked anytime with Meta + L
• requires no major system modifications

One thing to keep in mind

While Desktop Mode is set as the default login mode, the Return to Gaming Mode desktop shortcut no longer works. If you click on it, it loops back to desktop-mode.

It starts working again once Gaming Mode is set as the default login mode:

steamosctl set-default-login-mode game

Everything is easy to revert, and for me this makes SteamOS feel much more like a regular desktop OS.
