I forked SteamOS for my living room PC
TIL about RAUC (https://rauc.io/) I had been wondering how valve implemented the A/B update scheme.
- Rivian software update bricks infotainment system, fix not obvious
- Snap Store administrators removed signal-desktop from Ubuntu Snap

What is the differences between Arch and SteamOS? I noticed that SteamOS doesn't come with pacman completely set up...
SteamOS 3.x is an immutable system that uses image-based OTA updates because it is made for consumer devices (like your phone). It does not use OSTree, but apparently uses https://rauc.io
- Mi-a fost livrat SteamDeck-ul! Q2 gang, versiunea de 256Gb.

Some discoveries from investigating the SteamOS recovery image
Looks like SteamOS is using this project for handling updates: https://github.com/rauc/rauc

Sony's Playstation Portal hacked, can now emulate PSP games
Oh neat! Thanks for the information.
> running Steam on Bazzite (https://bazzite.gg) inside Proxmox.
Does this mean you can pass the gyro controls onto Steam Link or GeForce Now or some such? I have no interest in retro games, but it would be awesome to use gyro aiming for shooters...

AMD Funded a Drop-In CUDA Implementation Built on ROCm: It's Open-Source
https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite/blob/main/Containerfile#... has, in addition to fan and power controls, automatic updates on desktop, supergfxctl, system76-scheduler, and an fsync kernel:

Project Bluefin: an immutable, developer-focused, Cloud-native Linux
I went looking for KDE, but was disappointed. From the FAQ on https://projectbluefin.io/:
> What if I want something like KDE or another window manager?
> Bluefin is an opinionated GNOME experience. However Universal Blue provides a maintained set of base images for anyone to be able to make a custom image. We hope Bluefin acts as an inspiration for others to build their own communities around user experiences. For example check out Bazzite if you want a great KDE gaming experience, similar to SteamOS.
The Bazzite link 404s, but there is info at https://universal-blue.org/blog/2023/11/08/bazzite-20/ and https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite. Seems mostly focused on SteamDeck.

Thorium – Radioactive Chromium Fork
It's a cool list of patches.
I love these projects that bundle a bunch of cool things together with a base thing. Bazzite is a SteamOS project that similarly bundles all kinds of crazy things, and was a very popular recent submission, for another example. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38828040 https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite
The maintenance style here looks difficult. They seem to somehow take chunks of new chromium releases and make commits with those dropped in changes, and fix random stuff for a while. Looks very arduous. It makes me appreciate a somewhat opposed style, the Debian's Quilt model, where you have take the upstream and keep reapplying a set of patches to upstream. Maintaining is then just re-hacking any patches that break, and authoring new patches, whenever reapplying breaks. Seems like it'd be much easier to maintain, long run.
I was also hoping for something like the Quilt model because it seemed like it would be a good way to learn some shit about Chromium! Having the patches on hand would point to some key parts of the code-base, I feel! Im not sure how I'd learn what went into this fork, other than meticulously going through history. The readme also doesn't link to where it sources it's many patches from (which is another thing Bazzite did an excellent job of!).
Kind of interesting seeing a spreading focus on using more/modern x86-64 extensions spreading. Ubuntu is dabbling with what they are calling x86-64-v3, Red Hat too. https://www.phoronix.com/news/RedHat-RHEL10-x86-64-v3-Explor...

I forked SteamOS for my living room PC
Hadn't heard of Bazzite.
> Bazzite is an OCI image that serves as an alternative operating system for the Steam Deck, and a ready-to-game SteamOS-like for desktop computers, living room home theater PCs, and numerous other handheld PCs.

Worth visiting the readme even if not interested. There's a huge list of included stuff, and a lot of it seems really cool.and helpful (for gamers or streamers mostly).
