As of today, bazzite-deck-nvidia is now available as a beta thanks to improvements in the latest Nvidia drivers. While this is very clearly not a stable experience everyone should jump on, this should at least give our users something to play with and a tool to help report the remaining bugs to Nvidia.

Some important caveats:

  • Most bugs present here cannot be fixed by us, please do not report them to us if they’re already known issues. See our Discord and/or GitHub issue tracker.
  • This will not allow Nvidia eGPUs on handhelds. Due to issues caused by installing the Nvidia drivers this support most likely won’t come until NVK is ready to replace the proprietary driver.
  • Only nvidia-open will be supported by these images. That means no GTX 9xx or 10xx support.
  • If the UI is laggy, go into desktop mode and open steam settings in the desktop client and make sure Enable GPU accelerated rendering in web views is enabled (enabling this can cause graphical glitches in the steam UI in desktop, Big Picture Mode and gamemode), then return to gamemode.

Let us know what you think!

If I install it, will it include the normal GNOME, but with this Game Mode option, which if I don’t open it, its same as gnome-nvidia-open? Or is it entirely different from normal GNOME

Your desktop will not change, but deck images boot to game mode first.

Awesome, thank you guys!

I got two questions:

  1. Is the QAM known from SteamOS available on this image too? If so, how do I open it via keyboard?
  2. Is there a way to configure rgb lighting in game mode?

  1. Ctrl/Meta + 2
  2. OpenRGB might work in Desktop Mode and still apply in Steam Gaming Mode depending on the RGB fans.
