Well, my #ChimeraOS install seems to have died, the web interface no longer works. I guess I'll replace that with #Debian too. I'll give regular Steam Big Picture and Steam ROM Manager a try.

My #rogally is now in my planned final form. 2tb SSD upgrade, debloated win11 w all of the armory crate crapware removed plus handheld companion is the best software I've found so far.

I did set it up with a shared btrfs partition for the games so I can boot into #chimeraos for testing. That's still broken for resume (lose half the face buttons) and has no gyro or fingerprint support.

I don't miss the track pads on my #steamdeck at all, and a variable refresh rate screen is a must have!

One of the projects I want to do this year is convert my desktop into a home server/game console. Right now I'm thinking I would virtualize #ChimeraOS or #SteamOS (whenever that releases) with GPU passthrough on top of a #Debian install, then run services via #docker

What do my #linux and #homelab folks think about this? Got any good resources on how to do this and got any #tips before I get started?

@solene I know it's been a few weeks, but you might like #chimeraos if all you're gonna use the machine for is gaming:

"Instantly turn any PC into a gaming console"

"Thousands of games, dozens of platforms"

"Fully controller compatible interface"

"Automatic updates that stay out of the way"

Ok so I've been playing Rachet and Clank for a little over an hour on my #chimeraos #linux Steam Machine at 4K and it's a gorgeous game. Might need to upgrade that SSD though.

Thicc #Diablo4 boi, playing on #chimeraos.

Jumping on the #distrosIActuallyUse train started by @MNandor here.

1. #fedora - daily driver on @frameworkcomputer and Dell backup laptop
2. #nobara - fedora spin by Eggy that I run on the desktop and a handheld PC
3. #postmarketos - awesome alpine distro running on my PinePhone and soon my Memo Pad 7
4. #chimeraos - distro giving a #steamos like interface for my living room build
5. #popos - a user-friendly distro I used to be support for, what I install for friends and family

Yes, I'm having more fun hacking the broken os and/ore #linux #chimeraos on my #rogally than I have playing games on it.

Which is exactly as expected when I bought it.

#ChimeraOS is really impressive. Plug and play Steam Deck experience on a regular PC, in my case an 8th Gen NUC. HDMI audio just works, PS4 controller just works, the interface to remap controls for non-controller games is great.

It's official, I have forsaken the #steamdeck life and will be moving to #rogally

The progress that #chimeraos has made to get #steamos functional has easily eclipsed the dumpster fire that is #armorycrate. That's with a bug that forces you to reboot rather than suspend the device.

I simply can't give up this screen so I'm going to get a #deckmate to have extended battery strapped on if I want to run at > 12w for any amount of time.

#Ayaneo Air Pro thoughts:

- Aya Space sucks.
- Windows sucks.
- Proprietary/closed RGB sucks.
- Screen probably should've been 720p. 1080p is totally unnecessary for this size.
- Speakers aren't great.

- Overall design and build quality is perfect. No creaky plastic, unlike #SteamDeck.
- Buttons feel really good. Way better than the mushy buttons on #SteamDeck.
- OLED screen is beautiful.

Overall, it's only held back by shitty software. Hesitant to try community-built #ChimeraOS, but I might.

My own custom Steam Machine running #chimeraos. #gamingonlinux works great and is a painless experience. Brings the fun back in gaming without losing the freedom of choice.

@gpowerf The ValveOS is actually called SteamOS 3.x. To install it yourself on a game PC the closest you will get to the original is by using HoloISO. For an even better experience I strongly recommend ChimeraOS. #chimeraos #gamingonlinux

Turn Your PC Into A Gaming Console With #ChimeraOS! An Edge Over #SteamDeck OS?

As I have mentioned before, I installed #ChimeraOS on my #ayaneoair pro, and recently with a new update chimera added external display support. Not a feature I plan to utilize regularly but definitely a nice one to have since it was available on Windows previously.

Thoughts on #ChimeraOS on my #ayaneoair pro so far:
- I'm missing TDP controls and output is limited so I'm not playing games at full performance sadly
- Interface is by far the most pleasant I've had while I was OS hopping.
- I like that it can do emulation, but I think I'll stick to #batocera for that.

@batvin3211 thank you for that suggestion! What do you like better about #BatoceraLinux over #chimeraos?

@WendyDLN I was listening to episode 18 of #LinuxOutLoud and Matt suggested #chimeraos, I prefer #BatoceraLinux for a console PC, I use it emulation and PC games from the steam flatpak for example I got #AmongUs running,
