- Finally I'm trying #ChimeraOS. I've used it before and liked it. I do really appreciate the fact that its installer is just "We're going on this drive, are you sure?" and that's it. The graphical hiccup when switching in and out of desktop mode is gone and perhaps it's because Gnome doesn't do HDR (yet), but desktop mode looks fine even if HDR was enabled in gaming mode.

So it looks like I'll be sticking with ChimeraOS. Bazzite seems cool,, but it's just not for me I guess.

Looking to make a mini PC I have into a steam console. Any opinions on whether I should use #Bazzite or #ChimeraOS for it? I'm because I almost exclusively watch my Jellyfin server I'm also trying to replace my AppleTV with this box. I'd love to hear in the replies if you have particular reasons you'd choose one over the other.

Damn, I wasn't aware just how usable "raw" #SteamOS is these days when installed on a regular desktop (with the usual recommended hardware setup you'd expect with #Linux ofc i.e. #AMD GPU, etc.).

#LTT tested installing, again, "raw" SteamOS (so.. not #HoloISO, #ChimeraOS, or #Bazzite) on one such desktop PC and tried #gaming on it and even perusing the #KDE Plasma desktop mode and honestly, with very little hitches - the few of which are mostly expected hitches since SteamOS is still primarily designed for the #SteamDeck and the Steam Deck alone.

Fingers crossed SteamOS will be released to more devices soon this year, likely starting with more handhelds from other vendors and maybe to the general desktop a year or more later. As much as a lot of people are demanding
#Valve to go fuck all and rush their distro out to the general public, they seriously have no idea what they're wishing for.

Let's test the waters! You have USD $1,100:

- A Deck with a Ryzen AI HX 370, like ROG Ally or Legion Go
- A laptop with an RTX 4050.
- A Steam Deck OLED with a battery pack and save $400.

Which do you pick? Why?

Tengo una mini PC Beelink que desocupé y quiero hacerlo una una consola de #videojuegos. He hecho una mini investigación y vi que hay varias distros que podrían funcionar. Me llaman la atención #batocera y #lakka pero hay otras como #chimeraos .

¿Tienen experiencia? ¿Recomendaciones? ¿Qué tan compatibles son los Gamepads?

Si bien Steam Deck no ha sido el primer ordenador de videojuegos portátil, si que podemos decir que ha sido el que los ha popularizado y eso ha hecho que marcas como Lenovo o Asus saquen los suyos.

Desgraciadamente, estos últimos vienen con Windows y no con Linux.

Si has adquirido la nueva Asus Rog Ally X y quieres ponerle Linux tenemos buenas noticias. Recientemente se publicó ChimeraOS 46-2 que incluye soporte completo para este hardware.
