SteamOS is now running on Snapdragon phones

I got SteamOS running on a Snapdragon phone.

This is ARMDeck, an open-source project aiming to turn older Snapdragon phones into Linux gaming handhelds.

Currently working: display, touchscreen, audio, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPU acceleration, charging and battery monitoring, with Steam and games running.

It’s still a proof of concept, and there’s a lot more to do.

Check out the project on GitHub (github.com/GabrielCRadu/ARMDeck), and if you’re interested in helping bring ARMDeck to more Snapdragon phones, contributions are very welcome!

pb-os is Live!

Hey guys! Our Project Barry-OS is live on GitHub! This is SteamOS built for the AYN Thor. Above is a quick run down of what it does.

Features include

• App Laucher on bottom screen

• Companion App Pairing

• KB & Trackpad in both Game mode and Desktop Mode

• Build your own Apps for the bottom screen

• Performance Dashboard

If you're interested, give it a try! If not, all good! If you want to steal features for your own app, go ahead. This is 100% is a vibe coded project my brother and I have been working on for us, but figured we'd share with the community cause we think it's cool. If you try it out, please give us feedback!

Here's the GitHub!

The only thing holding me back from installing steam os is plex

I use my pc as a gaming machine and a plex server at the same time. I want to do the same if I move to steam os from windows

Anyone managed to run plex server on steam os?

Does the server still run even while you are on game mode?

Steamos for xboxallyx

Heyyy, Im gonna get my first xax 20th edition soon, yayyyy. Anyway, for those you have installed steamos on the xax:

- is everything okay? Anything not working? Like sound, tdp setting, light… anything thats need a plugin from decky?
- is the sleep wake works fine?

-!!! Do you need window to update driver? Or do you need to update everything on window before install steamos?

I have been using dualboot for bazzite and window for some handhleds but because I dont want to crack up the xax just to upgrade the ssd, so I preffer wipe out the window completely, is it okay to do that?

Thanks a lott

Should I try SteamOS?

I'm a recent Linux convert. Started with Mint, didn't like the gaming experience, the console use requirement and the lack of HDR, now I'm on Bazzite KDE Plasma and it's great. However, I'm a big fan of Valve and I'm wondering if SteamOS would be good for me. I'm running a RX9070XT, 9850X3D and I'm mainly using my PC for gaming, music, some office stuff and photo printing. I don't use Game Mode.

Would SteamOS be adequate for me, or should I stick to Bazzite?

Dual boot with Windows

Giving some serious thought to moving over to SteamOS, but have some misgivings about totally dropping Windows 11.

Most of my games are Steam based but do have others on GOG and Epic. As well there are programs I use such as Photoshop, Outlook, etc that I'd hate to find out don't play nice with SteamOS.

Looking for other people's opinion if they made the switch but kept the dual boot.

Thanks!

Won’t boot past the Motherboard Splash Screen

I built a Steam OS PC about a month ago with a 9600x, 9070XT, and 16 GB DDR-6000 Ram.

It worked perfectly for about a month. I use it connected to an HDTV like a console. Absolutely no issues, loved it.

Then just today I turned the PC on from completely off and it won’t boot past the Asus Motherboard Splash screen. IMy son played Forza Horizon 5 on it earlier in the day with no issues. We shut it off for a few hours, then this.

Any suggestions? I can access the BIOS menu. I tried disabling secure boot, but rhat didn’t change anything.
