We shouldn’t need a jailbreak.

If Apple has to allow 3rd party stores, why not Sony?

This would make me use it again, it's just gathering dust since I have a gaming laptop (bought on sale years ago, much better than the ps5), but mostly just use blender and watch tv, would be sick if it made it so I can play simracing games on it with my moza wheel because I never want to close out of my projects on my laptop.

It'd be nice to use it as a homeserver too, just leave it connected to the router and throw some selfhosted apps on there or whatever. Be so much more useful as another linux pc now that I don't really game and if I do it's never an exclusive. Just don't care for linear single player story games.

just use bazzite and live in the future

Allowed but janky, this is probably a more polished installer.

It wasn't officially supported for a long time even if they never stopped you. No real installer, etc. But now they started adding a lot more driver support even for hardware they aren't going to use, which you only do if you want to let people use 3rd party hardware

They only had the old SteamOS available for installing to anything but a Steam Deck. But they had said the current SteamOS was going to be available for all PCs a long while back, anyway.

Allowed and available, but not endorsed.

Dude that'd be so sick!

Have someone managed to jailbreak it?

The open source Nvidia drivers are coming along nicely I hear.

Tbh not even the fucking Windows drivers work properly either. In all my years of gaming every single time I’ve had an issue with my Nvidia GPU it’s the fucking drivers not working properly. Ranging from wild performance benches in games that only work on one specific driver, but fucks up the rest of my library, to crashes that cause me to force restart.

Once I switched over to AMD with my 580 back in the day, drivers have been absolutely seamless. Fuck that DLSS shit and fuck Nvidia. I just want my $500 GPU to work properly.

Support started with 3.8 release. It might say steam deck in the file name, but as long as the version is 3.8.xx then it should be good.

I dont think thats really an issue and more so a design choice to keep steam os immutable. I doubt that'll change since it does make it much harder to break the system.

My understanding is SteamOS was lacking hardware support for most devices, and that they've been slowly fixing this. It's been mostly functional for awhile now, but used to be completely broken, and it's only now that Valve is saying it's actually ready for most AMD devices.

It's part of why people had needed to use things like Bazzite/ChimeraOS on other gaming handhelds, because bare SteamOS wouldn't work. There were things like hardcoded support for just the Van Gogh chipset, hardcoded TDP management that would cause system crashes on different hardware, no support for network devices, etc.

Need to make all changes through ansible, then you just run one job post update :)
