Got a Flatpak app I should show people? Leave it right here 👇
Veloren
Flameshot, FSearch, Soundux, WPS Office (reluctantly- I dislike its nature but it has best MS Office compatibility unfortunately), MasterPDF, Joplin, Metadata Cleaner, czkawka, Junction, Komikku, Manga Reader, Protontricks, Protonup-Qt, Proton-GE, Stremio
Blanket is a great simple flatpak app to listen to a variety of rain, thunder, and other sounds to help you sleep. And with the Steam Deck speakers, it should sound really well.
Wireshark ;)
Steam through Flatpak on a Steam Deck?
Great content as always, Jason!
Thank you my friend and my guy!
Loving this series so far. Got my deck a week ago and am really interested into diving into Linux in a serious fashion with it. Hope the numbers favor you making more of these videos!
What an amazing thing to say "video produced on Steam Deck"!
My deck is about 4 hours old, and this was exactly the info I needed. Thanks!
New subscriber. Your video really helped me because I received the steam deck a month ago, & I was still confused on what to do. Thank you. 👍🏾
Thanks for this video and for testing out Steam Deck as a DAW 🙂
Keep it up !
never touched linux before but always wanted to try it, honestly im hoping to see more videos on what we can do with it, you got my sub!
Love that you did this and love this video!
thanks for touching on DAW music production and video editing. i've only been using old dual core processors and have never bought a video card in my life. getting a steam deck as my only pc will literally be the most powerful pc i'll have ever owned and probably the only one i'll ever need.
thank you for the amazing content. i have had my deck for about a year and was completely lost.
After watching a couple of Nick's videos talking about Flatpak I moved a couple of my most used programs to a Flatpak version.
It's actually unnecessary for me as my distro of choice is openSuSE Tumbleweed but especially when installing Flatseal it allows for many more and easy to do security settings than regular installations.
Only issue I have with the Flatpak version of Firefox so far is that said release doesn't like to communicate with KeepassXC.
Other than that SteamOS' concept sounds just like what Linus Torvalds actually would like to see being more used for easier package distribution which is a huge step forwards.
Hell yeah our friend and guy
Someone lights the batsignal and I appear.
steamOS seems cool imo, system immutability seems to be the right choice for new linux users from breaking their system, completely agree on that.
what i would really love is to have steamOS's features to be available on vanilla arch as AUR, best of both worlds, it has really been a very long time since i last broke my arch
2:15 I am not a Linux user but I think this is a good thing because of Linus Pop incident, I think.
Hello, I use Nvidia Shadowplay on my desktop Pc and looking for something similar for the deck. The main thing I need are:
-a shortcut to simply press a button (or combination of buttons) to record the last 30 seconds of gameplay
-a notification to show up on screen saying something like "gameplay video saved" so I know the recording actually worked
-ability to record my mic, game sounds and friends voices in discord/other chat app
Can I do this with OBS on the deck? Or can you recommend a better solution? Thank you.
Hey there @Jason,
I had come come across a Linux distro called ‘rlxos’ some time ago.
And this distro too is an immutable, but kinda little different, it has a base img which is read only, and it has structured itself to install packages through a pkg manager at a non root directory.
There is a lot more than that, but I can’t explain it here, I think if steamos used this concept, everything would be much better.
Maybe you could have a look at that distro,
I really like the concept they used, and it is not like fedora silver blue and all that, it was simple yet very ingenious idea.
Thought I should share this here
This concept would I suppose also solve the drawbacks of steam os, which it is having as an immutable os
i find that some emulators i use simply connot have their settings changed or do anything with them but load games because the toolbars are missing examples being melonds and yuzu. and im having trouble building apps from source
Based from The Linux Experiment channel, the only times that immutable file hold Steam Deck back if you are developer. But there are workaround like making VirtualBox with another Linux inside it and work from there.
its becouse the compilers need system access. you can make the file system rw but like he said when a update hits its wiped clean.
Fedora silverblue offers toolbx as solution for this
I loaded the 3.4 os , but the computer I used has a wired network. The system is online, but discover can't seem to see it. I been looking for a setting some place...but I'm a newb. any know a fix?
Can you tell me the name of the app you use to edit videos? Thanks
Could you please do a video of running Android emulation on the steam Deck
OBS Studio is also on Steam btw.
As far as the system immutability goes, I've had some experience with Endless OS, which has the same kind of thing.
okay? thanks for telling us but you didn't elaborate, I've had some experience... g'day
I wonder if pacman on Steam OS can be tweaked in configuration file to install all packages to home folder instead.
At that point just install Junest bruh
@@FengLengshun what's that?
Nix seems like it might be a Beeter fit in that case.
@@osamaanees8406 basically a lite install of Arch Linux located in your home folder - sorta like Distrobox/Toolbox but doesn't rely on Docker or Podman.
yes with the -r command.
I want to know if there is a tiling window manager like there is an Windows 11 or like what I have seen in screenshots of Pop OS for steam os
oooh good question. I've used some "extensions" on my other KDE Plasma desktop that sort of enables this functionality. I'll have to see if it's possible here. (It won't be quite as elegant as Pop, though)
@@LinuxForEveryone Niccolò Ve has a video about it actually: czcams.com/video/TQzaDrmsE9A/video.html
why does discord close itself down and disconnect from the call? when downloaded on the deck is there any way to stop this?
Could you share Install of hadoop 3, and it's addition package like hive, hbase and pig.
hey boss. Please, tell me, is an app called orca included in the steam os system? If so, does the shortcut key "super+alt+s" launch it and make the computer speak? Thanks. I'd love to know because I'm a blind person myself.
I'm not seeing it on flathub.org, which is where the software gets pulled from.
@@LinuxForEveryone I'm talking about preincluded preinstalled packages, not flatpacs
I just confirmed it's not pre-installed. Valve should fix that. I'll reach out directly to my contacts there.
@@LinuxForEveryone thanks! Hope this os can be accessible to blind people
lovong my deck. one thing im really waiting for is a solution for lack of anticheat support. alot of games seem like they dont work only because thewir anti cheat doesnt work.
great bro my pc is steam deck to nice :)
Flatpacks bout to win the war
Noob here with a silly question. What if i just disable repos on manjaro and use snaps and flatpaks exclusively in order to just stabilise the hell out on a pi?
Not a silly question at all! I'm not an expert, but the less software sources you have, the more stability you introduce, and the less chance for something to go wrong -- especially if you're only working with containerized apps like snaps and Flatpaks.
@@LinuxForEveryone the othrr day i was just messing about with box64 and the wifi just wont connect anymore like what. I wasnt aware that any of that affect connectivity so i just unplugged that bad boy and havent touched it for a week now :D i need it dumbed down or something
IMHO at that point just use a more stable / less updated distro like Debian or one of the CentOS replacements, or an immutable OS like Fedora Silverblue/Kinoite and EndlessOS. You still want security updates even if you rely on snaps and flatpaks. There's also always the Junest, Toolbox, and Distrobox approach to have an isolated operating system inside your operating system, which doesn't interface directly with your root.
@@FengLengshun the pi comes with debian and pixel de, but pixel looks like win95 on meth. Ubuntu is a bit heavy on the pi. Manjaro comes with 3 different DE's preinstalled easy to access. Havent tried fedora arm yet. I tried installing DEs on anlite image bit it takes quite a bit not really worth the effort so kinda stuck with manjaro
@@obvious_giraffe8386 Have you ask about in on manjaro forum?
My name was in that video for just a second but it was there
Is SteamOS available for all PCs or it's just an exclusive to Steam Deck
It will be made available to all PCs in the form of ISO file in near future according to Valve.
so .. installing things with pacman kindof works? id just want python,ghc,vim,lame,sox,csound,vorbis-tools,mpg123,lame to work in their terminal
i enjoy command line stuff
I want my steam deck so badly, it hurts to wait so long : ' )
id worth pointing out thatyou cn add non sfeam appsr seam kn deskglp mod and see tem on seam mode.
this was typed on astemdeck so slrryfpr typo no speellcheck
What is that media player to the right side of the desktop?
PlexAmp!!
check out sweet home 3d, it's kinda fun to mess with
when you dropping that song?
hey how do you unistall an app in desktop mode ...trying to uninstall edge ..
Wait, Brave has a flatpak
Indeed! I've been finding a ton of apps I never knew had Flatpaks!
It's currently available in flathub-beta repo along with Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge 😉
@@xtian437 thanks and here I was about to comment Jason about how to get Barve Browser and MSEdge as flatpak on Fedora 35 . Thanks 😄
Can you tell me how to get OBS to record games without lag / stutter?
I am on Nvidia, and even with NvFBC my performance is drastically decreased compared to Windows when I open OBS (even without recording..)
Make sure you're using either the Snap or Flatpak of OBS. That has NVEnc support, which is dedicated to encoding.
@@LinuxForEveryone I do use the Flatpak, NVENC is enabled as well... I have no idea why recording on Linux is so much worse for me...
I'm sorry then, I really don't have a good answer for ya.
@@LinuxForEveryone It's alright, thanks for your help! :)
I wonder if MPC-HC (Media Player Classic Home Cinema) works on proton. I really like my MPC 🥰
Why you don't check out proper Linux software tho? You can use VLC and MPV and stuff. You really won't want to use replaceable windows apps daily as there is probably better Linux apps. Of course you can use non-replaceable windows apps when there is no alternative good enough but this isn't one of them.
If you use Linux, just use linux & don't imitate Windows habits :)
It has a Gold rating on winehq, so chances are good it does.
I don't understand why Valve includes Godot in it's repository if the Steam Deck isn't made to devs.
With that said is it possible to unlock the system to write code and save it so that the next OS update doesn't wipe it?
Godot is on the Steam Store as well, and I heard you don't need the filesystem on RW to use it.
Hey just wanted to ask, can you download and install Xbox app to be able to talk to your friends ??
the Xbox app is not compatible with Linux (yet).
@@LinuxForEveryone thank you for letting me know
@1:48 It makes it more idiot prove because you have to rely on container formats like flatpacks, appimages or snaps in user space.
My discover is always loading 😅
Can't view applications or anything :(
If you want it to be a complete full PC replacement then SteamOS 3.0 ain't gonna do. My printer would be a paperweight.
You know this for a fact? Is your printer supported on Arch?
@@LinuxForEveryone My printer drivers rpm and deb packages. I installed it on Arch just fine, but there’s no flatpak driver for it.
@Watcher No, not in the kernel
you can disable read-only mode using: sudo steamos-readonly disable
.... however any changes may be wiped when you perform an update
They should have based it on fedora silverblue...... FSB has rpm-ostree as solution for this
👍
You may have to check for "Bottles".
Please extend your coverage on video editing, I'm really interested
What are you interested in specifically?
@@LinuxForEveryone Well, I guess what I want to know are the limits of it for that purpose
I suppose your video was 1080p but probably with not that many effects, maybe I'm wrong. I would like to know render times for a 1080p of 30 minutes with several effects applied, and also if possible render times in the same conditions for a smartphone 4K video.
Also, I would like to know if DaVinci Resolve is doable on the Steam Deck since it has a native Linux version, in case not... which programs are the alternative.
And if it's possible to use Steam Deck plugged on a external monitor, dual-screening for example to bring the visualization window or the main effects menu (with touch enabled for selecting) to the Steam Deck screen, while you gain screen space for other tools or timeline on the main monitor.
If the trackpads or joysticks are any useful as simulation for jog wheels (this is a stretch, but can be useful) or if you can somewhat configure buttons for main tasks.
Feel free to ignore my petition, I'm aware it would be a niche use case for the majority of steam deck users, but I think it would really make an interesting video for the productivity people interested in a steam deck.
And thanks for answering
THATS YOUR FRIEND AND YOUR BOY FRIEND GARDENER NOT MINE 😂😆
I only ever had troubles with flatpaks, no thx. Plain packages, or appimages only.
That's fine, AppImages are fully supported too.
@@LinuxForEveryone Great!
Congrats, I do not understand why nobody installed Manjaro KDE to benchmark "normal" Li(g)nux vs Steam OS 3.0 patches (and they did with MS WOS). Perhaps, for actual li(g)nux users, a Manjaro or Arch "normal" option with valve kernel patches, and the new Steam "Desktops Environment" plus KDE, would be better than the Steam OS 3.0
Miguel, kernel 5.18 has all the hardware bits to enable other distros to run on SteamOS. We're not quite there yet.
@@LinuxForEveryone Thanks, but there are 2 parts, 1.- Benchmark actual li(g)nux knowing it will be worse to quantify how much better are Valve patches. 2.- When 5.18 will arrive - soon enough - benchmark again and compare pros and cons.
I don't understand why Valve are forcing us to waste so much of the already limited storage on the deck with flatpacks. The "average user" probably doesn't want to install anything other than games on their deck, while (most)more advanced users don't want an immutable filesystem forced on them(I sure don't), so they will probably just nuke SteamOS and install Arch, or whichever other distro they want. SteamOS is great for the average normie that has never touched Linux before, but I personally wouldn't use it. I wish there was an option to just turn off all read only nonsense without everything getting overwritten when Valve release their next update. If I ever get a deck, removing SteamOS and installing regular Arch will be the first thing I do.
There's nothing inherently different or limiting about immutable OSes. The entire idea that having an extra seatbelt is only for new users and not advanced users is just a gatekeepy myth.
@@JorgeCastro I'm newer to Linux and the community seems really gatekeepy honestly. Like I use Mint and am trying to branch out, but yikes
You do YOU and just ignore people like that. The reality is that the Linux community has several sub-communities, and the gatekeeping toxic types don't belong here.
@@LinuxForEveryone Aww thank you! I appreciate it!
Install Arch if you want, what the problem?)) Actually SteamOs rewrite system only. All your flatpaks, settings etc will be on the place. Its really smart solution for the MOST peoples and the only possible guarantee of Deck stability and success.
how do I open a file in desktop mode?
