The ears absolutely help!

If you wanted to try out macOS under Linux's KVM, now it's simpler than ever: https://t.co/Tm8hyAvoK8 doesn't even require a Mac!

[Foxlet @FoxletFox]

@fzorbie @shrub706 it's based on an upcoming official port of Arch to aarch64, there's a private fork being worked on between Arch maintainers, Collabora, and Valve, that has not been upstreamed yet

[Foxlet @FoxletFox]

still very early but finally got SteamOS (Holo) running on ARM64 (on Snapdragon 778G-based hardware!)

kudos to Valve for finally putting it out there 👀

[Foxlet @FoxletFox]

@SadlyItsBradley it's fundamentally different from Proton in that performance degradation is a lot harder to run into (compared to having to replace every WinNT syscall with an equivalent, and then additional replacement APIs on top)

[Foxlet @FoxletFox]

@SadlyItsBradley I wouldn't call it a translation layer so much as it is an entire "system container" with Android libraries inside... both Android and desktop Linux run on the arm64 Linux kernel so there isn't exactly much of anything *to* translate, all the Android bits coexist in its own box

[Foxlet @FoxletFox]

@wreckmyshit afaik the SM6475 doesn't have a mainline Linux port, your best bet would be to check against one of the SoCs in this list

@CyberStudios808 @RetroHandhelds yes, Adreno is well supported by Mesa (Valve's preferred graphics stack) and the browser experience (in Firefox at least) is pretty much the same as with other contemporary PCs

[Foxlet @FoxletFox]

@intlinux That's not going to do very much without setting up SteamRT 3c ARM and running Proton with sRT4 for games. This is something I've already gotten working and you should check out SadlyItsBradley's server if you want to see out all the development work being done rn

[Foxlet @FoxletFox]

@SadlyItsBradley like running it on Snapdragon lol

[Foxlet @FoxletFox]

@SadlyItsBradley welcome to the most cursed fastfetch of all time

[Foxlet @FoxletFox]

@josethevrtech @SadlyItsBradley in the same way that no one calls installing a different distro on a Steam Deck "install a custom ROM", it doesn't really make sense here either... the architecture is arm64 but it barely behaves like a phone x3

[Foxlet @FoxletFox]

@josethevrtech @SadlyItsBradley ye, I know what an immutable Linux distro is, but I feel using ROM there is a bit of a misnomer; with a distro there's the implication you *can* unlock and modify the filesystem at any point, rather than having to rewrite the entire image as a whole (a-la Android ROMs)

[Foxlet @FoxletFox]

@josethevrtech @SadlyItsBradley you'd probably have difficulty finding any "custom Android ROMs" to run on this thing since Deckard is pretty much built for running mainline desktop Linux, not Android lol

[Foxlet @FoxletFox]

@Lovely__jubly @NintyPrime no prob ;)

[Foxlet @FoxletFox]

@ShadowReaperOP from the installer that recently got posted!

[Foxlet @FoxletFox]

Here's an early look at the upcoming non-Deck SteamOS desktop! (yes, it really looks like Plasma with the Vapor theme lol)

[Foxlet @FoxletFox]

@theetaprime @AMD @LenovoLegion FYI, you don't need to force update to SteamOS 3.8, there is a direct installer up now over at https://t.co/20fkUFDgiF

[Foxlet @FoxletFox]

@carygolomb iirc the WIP design for Deckard has a fan defined in the device tree

[Foxlet @FoxletFox]

@SadlyItsBradley necromancy the git :3
