View submission: SD Recovery Image On AMD laptop

View parent comment

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!

Laptop is Asus TUF A16 all AMD set up. I think I was able to zero in on the issue . On bazzite and SteamFork, in the display setting on desktop mode , If I change Adaptive Sync to Always on, this screen issue resolves. Unfortunately the option of Adaptive Sync option doesn’t exists in SteamOS via SD recovery image and the problem still persist

also the intent is to use the laptop solely as a console .
