There’s a good chance their dock won’t do 4k 60Hz on my TV either.
Maybe Bazzite has an issue on my Steam Deck. Well, I try searching, and find nothing.
Had to make another script, to fix it, after the TV has been off.
The Atari VCS works though, without doing anything special I think.
Steam Deck has better hardware, the only reason to try using it instead of the Atari VCS.
Maybe this Amazon sold only dock sucks.
Some people use an EDID emulator. Then you have to find one that’ll work.
Found some script to install a custom EDID file, and that didn’t solve anything either. I just got the EDID from the Deck, when it’s working @ 4k 60Hz.
Don’t want the password prompt to show on TV? Well, set the video= cmdline argument, to 1280×720.
Not sure why I set an encryption password for the drive. Kind of a pain.
Also, this wireless USB keyboard, only works in a different USB port on the dock. Otherwise, there’s a massive delay. Is that the dock? If so, then the dock has one USB port with issues.
Changed the batteries, didn’t fix it. Changed USB port and now it’s fine.
I wonder how much this Steam Deck is worth. Is the RAM removable? 16 GB of RAM brand new, is pricey nowadays.
32 GB of RAM, some costs $400.
I think I have my laptop’s old 16 GB of RAM in my desk. Find a cheap mini PC with no RAM, and put it in it. If it has no drive though, that’s a bummer. Well, use the Atari VCS external SSD then.
Or just go back to using the Atari VCS.
What kind of SSD does the external SSD have in it?
If the SSD can be removed from the enclosure, then no need to buy a drive.
Does Bazzite work on the Atari VCS?
Hmm, might have been having an issue with the Atari. Don’t remember what though.
Oh might have been the HDMI audio. Plug the USB sound thing into the Atari then. Now to see which image I need for the Atari of Bazzite.
Don’t have to install Steam in Bazzite, it comes with it. Only want it mostly for using my controller as a mouse though, and on screen keyboard.
Apparently if you select HTPC, it will download the Deck image. Well, I already have that, so I’m good to go.
Is there anything I want on the Atari VCS? Cause I’m too lazy to look on it. So I think I’ll just format the external drive.
Bazzite is even better on the Atari VCS, boots to a nice black screen.
Going to try some other Linux on the Steam Deck.
Garuda Linux might work. But I don’t want a macOS like dock. If somebody wants a Mac, get a Mac. Guess that means XFCE. Which means Xorg, which might fix the problem anyways.
Also, too lazy to install something else on Atari VCS. And the stock OS won’t boot anymore. Don’t care though. It can sit unplugged, until I find use for it.
Well, can’t install anything on Deck, with that keyboard and mouse, too laggy. Either a dock issue, or a power issue, but that laptop charger should provide enough power.
Put Garuda Linux on Atari VCS, works fine so far. I’d put it on desktop too, but too lazy.
Steam Deck and/or dock, must mess up my receiver and/or TV. Atari VCS wouldn’t get a picture. Turned every thing off, and unplugged the Atari yet again.
Probably need an EDID emulator, to use Steam Deck with TV. But that won’t solve the keyboard and mouse not working. Don’t know what dock works correctly. Won’t pay $80 for Valve’s either.
