So I had some trouble with EmuDeck on the nvidia gnome edition

Bazzite
1

I used Emudeck to install, and it manually over my, but it didn’t seem to create the directories for them. What’s the fix? On the KDE version of Deck Bazzite, I was able to get it working. What am I missing? The only difference is I didn’t try the shortcut method and skipped right to the console and command line. Also, when copying files from an external drive to the hard drive, I noticed in GNOME that there seems to be no pause option, but in KDE was. I have to look into that but I guess in GNOME you cannot pause file transfers. I had to do a clean install of bazzite when I switched the 3D cards in my old gigabyte desktop. I used copilot to help rewrite this, it seems not perfect, I noticed error that I have to correct manually.

the graphics under Deck mode got all messed up seem to be too buggy at this time, maybe I try it again, once NVidia deck mode is out of beta, the side menu got corrupted and were unreadable in deck mode on the gnome edition, I think it was something I did, but might have been, going to switch the old pc back to windows for now. at first things were fine, but something changed that caused stuff like HDR said it was on but the settings in deck mode had it off, stuff like that was happening to me. I think steam under windows in BIG screen mode is basically the same as deck mode, but there should be less of that happening, again text was all messed up in the side menu, where I was blindly clicking to find desktop mode. not sure what triggered the display bugs, I don’t recall it happening with the 2070 card, but under the 3070 nvidia card, its a better card, but there was some bugs, that I might of caused, I could just switch out of the deck mode distro but I think I just return it back to windows, it’s a bit easier to play games and not need wine for them, otherwise I like the idea of nvidia deck mode but its just not for me until they text the big graphic bugs. I am pretty sure its the linux software and not the 3D card itself, since it only seems to happen when I use deck mode.

I might look up the bugs if I can, but if I cannot fix this on my own, then I switch it for sure to windows for now. I try and disable the “Enable GPU acceleration” that’s the only thing I did that might of caused this, that I can think of.

The deck was set to 4k is known have graphic problems instead of 1080p beta safely handle 4k. I might to reset to Windows. It I fixed it, but I need to use the ujust Steam-reset command. Although it’s nice to try the Nvidia beta images for the deck, I believe I will need to switch it anyway.

So I know for a fact that some games like shadow of the tomb raider, seem to run the fan under windows 11 when you max out the graphic settings in that game, I am not sure if the 3D cards fans will run on Linux how the performance differs under lutris or not, since I haven’t test it, but by default linux will setup the desktop at 3840 x 2160, 60 Hz, I may install it back to my small hard drive, and test it more, there the problem I was having was fixed by ujust reset steam command, that did work to fix the text problem, I was having, and some reason it had defaulted to showing HDR as on even thought, it was disabled under deck mode, it may have to do with switching between display port and HDMI 1 as the windows desktop gigabyte was on that one, and display port was connect to the linxu session, I think HDR should of been off when switching between machines, but I am not really sure why otherwise it would show it like that, for kde desktop 4k is fine, but I read somewhere here the bug nvidia effects deck mode cannot be set to 3840 x 2160, my gigabyte 4k monitor seems to default operating systems to the desktop mode of that, I normally only use 144 hz for my gaming like for Shadow of the tomb raider, I set it to that, which I own on windows or linux under epic games, was one of those free games epic games launcher had released, its easyer to setup non-steam games under linux than windows, but wine and lutris is not perfect I guess, which is also true, its better than it was years ago, but not perfect. x11 would be at 60 Hz but wayland sets it to 30 Hz instead for the nvidia 3D card, under windows its 60 hz but not linux.
