On linux you can install gamescope and run the deck ui with this, gamescope -f -e -- steam -gamepadui to start up in fullscreen and as far as opening games and suck it will function just like the Deck without games opening over the ui but within it
Here to say I really hope more pi hosted episodes are coming. Love following along and find your explanations clear and precise. Thanks to you and your series I now have a Pi 4B running a few self hosted applications and services, I add at least 1 more every weekend and continuously have been researching and looking for what else I can add and do. The next big step for me is my NAS storage that will be running on a rock pi in there Sata drive case they offer, most likely linked with nextcloud on my server. Just waiting on a package with some stuff that seems like it’s gotten lost at this point 😂
I'm not sure if this has been mentioned or if there's another way to access this, but if you call a friend (or yourself on an alt account) on steam, and click the microphone/headphone icon on the top right (it's green iirc) you can open the gpu and other deck hardware settings. Though I don't believe you can toggle some or most of them. They dont have to pick up the call for this to work.
Still find it buggy with this current approach. My controller is navigating the UI and controlling the game at the same time (I hear Steam Deck UI sounds while I'm playing the game)
@@hueypautonoman It was lagging for me too at first, but when I closed the Epic launcher and Discord it wasn't that laggy anymore, it could be because I restarted steam aswell, but try to close a few background apps, that could help.
Yes, you can set up your display manager to automatically start a session in a basic window manager like dwm or awesome when you login. If you turn off the top bar it will be a seamless experience. Then add the Steam UI to the autostart function and disable all ways of exiting out of Steam (or set up a daemon that automatically logs you out if Steam is not running). For updating the entire system if you use this approach you do have to go into a TTY and update from there. You could also install the Steam OS on the hardware itself. Very exciting :)
Intresting. I couldn't get it to work unless i run steam from terminal with the flag. I must be doing something wrong. Anyone got this working on linux mint? 🙂 Or maybe it just doesn't like my ancient hardware 😃 edit:i tried to run it on manjaro from konsole and it said something about vulkan and I don't think my hardware supports vulkan so that's probably why it didn't work. 🙂

i gotta try this out
@@NovaspiritTech Let me know what works for you on Linux, I have only tried this on Windows.
That worked!! Fsr and the overlay worked!
Your mic sounds like something i got from the side selves in check out.
how to you make this change stick. I done it but soon as I exit or reset it goes back to desktop mode
Still find it buggy with this current approach. My controller is navigating the UI and controlling the game at the same time (I hear Steam Deck UI sounds while I'm playing the game)
Now how do i get it to start booting directly into the SteamDeck UI?
Someone else commented and mentioned something about installing Gamescope
Can I get steam deck ui to open as soon as my w11 pc has started from boot?
Because would be helpful as I have it connected to my TV.
i’m positive in the settings your able to. but i’m not sure
This would be easier to do on Linux, because you can pick a very basic window manager to login to that autostarts the Steam UI.
That is very cool. You can make a console from a spare PC using this.
What keyboard command is it after you type nano to back out of the edit menu?
on gnome u can edit the .desktop file for steam
can you show how to do steamOS in a docker container? thanks
Just install steam then load the command mentioned in the video
Doesn't work for me on Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS it just opens regular steam application.
I’m working, but I think it’s time for a break so I can go try this. 😆
OK, so I just tried it, and it seems to be kind of laggy with my Nvidia RTX 3080. I'm guessing it was only optimized for AMD.
@@hueypautonoman It was lagging for me too at first, but when I closed the Epic launcher and Discord it wasn't that laggy anymore, it could be because I restarted steam aswell, but try to close a few background apps, that could help.
@@zrobilive Thanks, I'll try it again.
ok so this is not working and it says steam runtime is disabled so idw how to enabled it
Does this work with a Nvidia GPU?
Can i make the ui lauch at startup ?

GUI mode
This doesn't work. This is why people say windows is easier. The file system is completely inconsistent and makes tutorials like this one pointless. 😡
ok then use windows and leave us alone
@@lucykurtis9200 Fuck Windows. I'm not that bothered by this.
