View submission: SD Recovery Image On AMD laptop

View parent comment

πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€β€¦the SD recovery image works very well with my PC which has all AMD set up … also if I connect the laptop to my external display I don’t face any of these issues .. the screen issue is only with the laptop internal display ..

What kind of laptop?

Sometimes, the specific laptop hardware will require some tinkering. For example, there's steps and software necessary and specific to ASUS ROG stuff.[1] when trying to put Linux on em.

Surfaces require some custom kernel or something too.

This may be part of what you're running up against here.

A lot of the time I'd highly recommend going Bazzite over the Deck image, but I'll go further here. You're not using the laptop *solely* as a console, are you? You may be better served installing KDE Fedora[2], and just installing Steam normally within it. You'll get all the same Proton-goodness, but with an actually practical OS too!
