# Handheld Compatibility

> **Attention** : This list is incomplete and does not indicate that unlisted handhelds do not work with Bazzite currently, but because we lack specific information regarding their post-installation setup, workarounds, and proper hardware support for Linux, so they are unlisted here.

> **Note** : All handhelds except for the Steam Deck make use of [Handheld Daemon](https://github.com/hhd-dev/hhd/blob/master/readme.md) for controls, TDP, etc.

_Click the name of each hardware to view post-installation setup and known issues/workarounds._

## Support Rating

Bazzite takes a similar approach to [ProtonDB’s medal system](https://www.protondb.com/) by giving a generic label rating for each handheld.

**Platinum** :  
No major issues and/or simple workarounds are needed for small fixes.

**Gold** :  
Minor issues and/or simple workarounds required, but ultimately works.

**Silver** :  
Major issues and/or exhaustive workarounds required, but boots and can game.

**Bronze** :  
Major issues and/or exhaustive workarounds, but boots and displays a desktop.

**Borked** :  
Bazzite does not boot on this hardware.

**Unknown** (_unlisted_):  
The handheld is not listed here and a general guide is under “Other Handhelds.”

# HHD Setup

> HHD is intended and functional for handhelds that are **not** the Steam Deck.

**Read the [HHD README](https://github.com/hhd-dev/hhd/blob/master/readme.md) for more information.**

1. Double press the ‘side menu button’ to access Handheld Daemon overlay in Steam Gaming Mode

2. Select the controller emulation and RGB color you want

> **Note** : Gyro functionality **requires** DualSense emulation

# Decky Plugins

> **Note** : Decky may break or uninstall after updates especially if the Steam client or Gamescope is updated.

Install optional [Decky plugins](https://plugins.deckbrew.xyz/) for your handheld. If you experience any major issues then it is recommended to uninstall Decky before reporting Bazzite bugs.

# Bazzite’s Steam Gaming Mode Documentation

Check out the [Steam Gaming Mode documentation](https://universal-blue.discourse.group/docs?topic=37) for an in-depth guide on Steam Gaming Mode plus general fixes for common issues.

# eGPU Support

> eGPU is **not** a fully supported feature and has many caveats.

**Notes** :

- Modern AMD GPUs are **supported**.
- Intel ARC GPUs are **supported**.
- Nvidia GPUs are **unsupported**.
- Proprietary connectors, like the one for the ASUS ROG Ally, will not work.

## **Recommended External Guide & Script** :

Read this [guide](https://github.com/ewagner12/all-ways-egpu) for eGPU usage on Linux, and use the script at your own risk.
