God a used GPD Win 4 Pro with 2TB drive, so decided to install EndeavourOS and game on it since I don't like Windows 11.
2023/12/31: Decided to install EndeavourOS on my Framework 13 as well, keeping the notes in the same doc
GPD Win 4: Del to bios, make sure secure boot is off. F7 to access boot menu
By default it creates a 300GB partition for Windows and the most of the rest as D:, we will replace D: with Linux.
- Download ISO from website. Use flatpak
ISO Image Writerto create bootable USB - Boot into live env
- Need to patch file https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/replace-partition-with-endeavouros-on-btrfs-along-side-windows-10-dual-boot/29387 so that we can install system with btrfs partition
- Open installer, choose "Replace a partition", choose the D: partition, the file system should now be
btrfs - Check
Encrypt systemcheckbox (forgot the exact text) so that luks is enabled.
Post installation:
Switch to Wayland https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/how-to-switch-to-wayland-in-kde-plasma/21957
Get Steam working, based on my previous notes https://gist.github.com/fsworld009/cb9a402ede96fa6087a2562d987e82be
- Enable bluetooth https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/bluetooth-works-in-live-usb-but-not-after-installation/46700/3
- Enable flatpak and discover store https://flatpak.org/setup/EndeavourOS
- Install lutris and proton-qt
- Install fticx5 and IMEs via flatpak
- Steam: Install steam, gamescope, mangohud, ibus, ibus-pinyin, ibus-anthy
- multilib is already enabled
- Tested on desktop mode, works fine except I couldn't get local network game trasfer working
- My own gamescope launch script from https://gist.github.com/fsworld009/cb9a402ede96fa6087a2562d987e82be also works fine
- Steam Gamemode https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gamescope-session-steam-git
- Steam gamesope session would appear in sddm (there will be two options, the first one should work)
- Sometimes game controller isn't detected in game, need to flip mouse/controller switch to reconnect it.
TODO:
- Set power button to sleep
- Look into battery setting: right now one Holocure game burns out ~60% battery
Anything not 1080p breaks the screen, fix to 1080p with 150% scale for now. Konsole: change font to 14px
- Cannot adjust brightness
- Cannot adjust TDP
For TDO: Install ryzenadj and then install https://github.com/aarron-lee/simple-ryzen-tdp (use install.sh)
Gave up on Gamemode now and just launch gamescope in KDE Plasma, since we get screen brightness, battery related settings out of the box.
Use the script from my Arch linux note but change to launch gamescope with fullscreen

GC553 works fine with env var and there is no audio lag out of box, guess eos did a good job to tweak pipewire configs.
Previous setup still works, but need to yay -S gamescope-session-steam and login to that session first to do first time login.
Otherwise will stuck in Steam Deck initial setup screen and get error after internet tab.

Official app doesn't support screenshare + audio, and also seems don't support screenshare at all in Wayland?
Alternatives:
Deal breaker: only allow entire monitor share, no per-app share support
Also, unable to enable tray icon, the discord-screenaudio settings is not presented as seen in maltejur/discord-screenaudio#113
Seems working, didn't verifty if audio actually works (need another account to watch my own sharing to confirm)

Switched to Framework 16 which has igpu and dgpu onboarded.
For games that don't use dgpu automatically, need to manually set env var
DRI_PRIME=1
# Some games have to use this?
DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME="AMD Radeon RX 7700S (RADV NAVI33)"
more info: https://community.frame.work/t/responded-dri-prime-not-correctly-using-the-dgpu-in-some-games/45912
Ideally it would be better to run steam with these variables, however it doesn't work on Steam client
The gamescope + SteamOS client mode combination also doesn't work,as the games would run in a separate window instead of inside the gamescope (Probably because gamescope was created under igpu).
Update: Found that I need to close Lutris main program before launching Lutris games so that the game would be launched within gamescope.
- need to update launch script with
gamescope -W 1920 -H 1080 steam..., otherwise the gamescope is in 16:10 ratio. I suppose this is because FW16 built-in screen is 16:10. - For Lutris games, go to Lutris preferences -> Global options, change GPU to dGPU
- Steam: change game options: change resolution to
Native. Most games should pick dGPU automatically, if not, add the env vars mentioned above in launch options.
Step 3. need to be done on every single game, not sure if there's a way to default to those options.
Install gamescope and mangohud
flatpak install org.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLayer.MangoHud
flatpak install org.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLayer.gamescope
Restart Lutris, go to Preferences -> System, should see MangoHud and Gamescope as enabled
If not, could be Lutris is looking for a specific Mangohud & gamescope version, but not sure how to check
Go to Preferences -> Global options (default for all games) or game configuration -> System options, turn on FPS Counter (Mangohud) to enable MangoHud
You can also configure Gamescope in the same places.
https://github.com/flightlessmango/MangoHud?tab=readme-ov-file#hud-configuration
Per https://github.com/flathub/org.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLayer.MangoHud it should be possible to create config file, but it doesn't work for me, the default layout is always used
Also tried some flatpak override commands:
sudo flatpak override --filesystem=xdg-config/MangoHud:ro
(Ref: flightlessmango/MangoHud#972
And tried to add this filesystem override to Lutris app only, didn't work.
Currently I can only confiure it via MANGOHUD_CONFIG env var
In Lutris you can configure env var globally so this is probably fine for now.
Create a config file /etc/sddm.conf.d/10-wayland.config to switch SDDM to Wayland (Default is X11)

However, it doesn't work for monitors connecting to dGPU, only for iGPU ones.

Some plugins don't work with current Steam client due to front-end library update
See jfernandez/ControllerTools#43
Plugin authors need to bump the dependency and submit version bump to https://github.com/SteamDeckHomebrew/decky-plugin-database/pulls . Decky loader will only see new versions after database version bump PR is merged.
Currently some plugins are fixed but aren't bumped in database repo yet, so trying to manually build them
Plugin install folder: ~/homebrew/plugins
Somehow all folders are readonly, need to give write permissions first
UI are all built in the same way for all projects
nvm install --lts # 20 by the time of writing
nvm use --lts
npm install -g pnpm
# Install dependencies
pnpm i
# dist/index.js would be the output
npm run build
# Copy dist/index.js to ~/homebrew/plugins/{name}/dist/index.js to update UI
Backend dependency: varies for each project But the common practice is to use docker to run holoiso and build them. (See Docker section above)
UI only plugin. The release tag 1.1.3 already have a zip so you can just unzip that to plugin folder.
https://github.com/davocarli/deck-roulette/releases/tag/release
Note: Only the frontend is broken so you only need to update dist, but as a practice I also built backend and confirmed
the new build works.
# Build backends
bash scripts/build_docker_image.sh
bash backend/run-docker-image.sh
# Copy dist to ~/homebrew/plugins/ControllerTools/dist
# Copy backend/out/backend to ~/homebrew/plugins/ControllerTools/bin/backend
No isse for this plugin, but it doesn't record for my EndeavourOS setup
Required Dependencies:
sudo pacman -S gstreamer libva-mesa-driver python jq
Use the current main branch main.py with following patches:
- Change
in_gamemodecondition since we are not running gamescope-sessionif "gamescope" in " ".join(child.cmdline()):
- Fix video src: need to specify pipewiresrc path, which is the gamescope window running steam + games.
Patch this in
start_capturing:# Video Pipeline path_id = get_cmd_output('pw-dump | jq \'.[] | select(.info.props.["node.name"] == "gamescope") | .id\'') if not self._rolling: videoPipeline = f"pipewiresrc path={path_id} do-timestamp=true ! vaapipostproc ! queue ! vaapih264enc ! h264parse ! {muxer} name=sink !" else: videoPipeline = f"pipewiresrc path={path_id} do-timestamp=true ! vaapipostproc ! queue ! vaapih264enc ! h264parse !"

This causes the record to fail (gst command results in status).
Building frontend from current master, the index.js won't load, not sure the reason. (Readme says Node version is 18, could be a reason)
After latest system upgrade, I can no longer downgrade gamescope due to dependency conflict.
There seems to be no screenshot issues anymore
In GPD Win4 I've found that it doesn't render anything, later on found it works if I turn off FSR.
Searched around and confirmed FSR+Fullscreen is the issue ValveSoftware/gamescope#1237
The issue thread suggested using --backend sdl but it crashed on many games from my testing.
Hence for now we cannot use FSR with fullscreen. If the game has been set to use FSR in steam client and it's not possible to bring up the menu to turn it off due to game not rendering, the workaround is to leave gamescope fullscreen with Win+F to turn it off.
Also the FSR seems picking up wrong resolution if we set scaling in descktop setting.
For a 1080p screen with 150% scale, and running game in 720p, I have to use gamescope -H 477 in order to get FSR rendering. Higher height like 495 won't work.
I assume it's because 4771.5 < 720 while 4951.5 > 720
BizHawk Linux native build
yay -S bizhawk
Need to fix user group and folder permission based on https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/bizhawk-bin
sudo usermod -a -G games fsworld009
sudo chown fsworld009 /opt/bizhawk -R
Might need to reboot to take effect?
Confirmed the Lua script work (RMX4 Boost). Not compatible with VBA-RR scripts.
If we want this on Steam Deck, probably need to use distrobox
