is it possible to set the steamdeck to “default” to always keep picking the steamdeck speaker as default audio out also when an HDMI is connected through the USB-C?
Some audio issues were introduced in the SteamOS 3.5 update (partly due to having to handle the OLED model around the same time) which causes the HDMI problem. Hopefully it will be fixed in SteamOS 3.6 or 3.7. I’ve found that Bazzite doesn’t have the issue, although obviously that’s an invasive change, and I understand it’s still a bit buggy with the OLED model.
how do y’all combine music and games?
I think doing what you want could be a bit technically involved. One way might be to have one device control the music, and then cast it to the deck with snapcast or similar. Then, if you can get a snapcast client on the deck to be persistently running in the background, any music that is played on the other device, will be heard on the Deck.
Or more simply, you could try pairing your Deck in bluetooth from another device, and then select that Deck as an output. This is assuming that the Deck allows this, and that your source device supports it (Android did last time I tried).
The last time I tried a rebase from Kinoite to Bazzite it left me with a weird set of flatpaks and removed Firefox somehow
There’s a warning against this in the Bazzite FAQ, so that’s not too surprising. It’s referring to DEs, but different “distributions” also applies I presume. I hope that becomes solved in the long run, as it is one of the current downsides with Silverblue etc
They’re keeping the 256gb LCD for now, although that could change in the future of course.
Yes, and consider using zstd (if it’s not the default on your distribution) and be pretty aggressive with the disk size since it has a high compression ratio. I normally set it to 100% (so zram disk size = physical RAM size), but you can experiment with different values.
I think there are more people that are #1 and #2 the same time
Probably where some of the attitude comes from. People are assuming that it’s paid IT people bringing their work home with them, which is a different case then a casual user trying out self-hosting without the broader background.
Although I haven’t seen this attitude myself so I suspect it’s not that common, and probably just a handful of users jumping to conclusions.
I haven’t tried it, but Tube Archivist may fit the bill.
The downside with ULA is that ipv4 is given preference, which is annoying on dual stack networks. I believe there is a draft RFC to change this but it will take a while for it to be approved and longer still for OSes to change their behaviour. I workaround it by using one of the unused (but not ULA) prefixes.
Pretty cool especially since it’s RISC-V. I’d have some concerns about the software and driver side of things, though (and the performance).
Ah Nvidia. Bazzite uses Wayland I believe since it uses the same gamescope session as SteamOS (unless something has changed recently). While it may be possible to get it working, I’d expect a much better time with an AMD card.
A traditional distribution may be a better bet with Nvidia for now.
There’s a bunch of other variants like PiKVM and BIiKVM as well. Even some cheap knockoffs on Aliexpress that may do the job.
Mainly because running multiple desktop machines adds up to a lot of power, even at idle. If you power them off and on as needed it’s better, but then it’s not as convenient. Of course, if you leave a single machine with multiple GPUs on 24/7 that will also eat a lot of power, but it will be less than multiple machines turned on 24/7 at least.
And the physical space taken up by multiple desktop machines starts to add up significantly, particularly if you live in an apartment or smaller house.
I’ve recently tried to do that using sunsine and different linux gaming distros and it was awful, the VM was working great for a few minutes and then suddenly crashes and I have to hard stop it.
Are you running this with something like libvirtd/qemu? If so, VFIO configurations can get pretty complex. Random crashes seem like MSI interrupt issues (or you’ve allocated too much RAM to the guest). Or it could be GPU reset issues that would also occur on the (Linux) host, a newer kernel and Mesa version in the guest may help.
Setting on the kernel commandline for the host to workaround MSR interrupt crashes:
kvm.ignore_msrs=1
If you’re running on a Windows host or with something like Virtualbox (assuming GPU passthrough is supported by these), YMMV but I wouldn’t expect good results.
NixOS. Ubuntu when I just want to test something quickly.
I would expect so. It might already be on the Deck, as sometimes Valve is ahead on kernel and firmware related issues.
Systems themselves are all around 5-20W, although the ones with mechanical HDDs obviously add their own idle usage.

DDG results weren’t too bad, although repetitious and focused on the history of the gag, and not particular examples.
absolutely grotesquely bad Apple Maps they integrate
You can use !maps query to workaround that. I typically end up using DDG as a frontend to other sites through its bangs syntax.
E.g.
!maps x location to y location
But yeah, if normal DDG results don’t work for you it’s probably not a huge gain.
Guaranteed good driver support too, since Valve fund devs to work on the AMD GPU drivers on Linux.
I don’t think they have yet, which is a bit of a sore point. Third party alternatives like Bazzite may do the job, though.
Assuming the Switch supports ipv6, and given how backward Nintendo’s tech tends to be, it wouldn’t surprise me if they didn’t.
Although at least nintendo.com has an AAAA record.
