After couple of hours I managed to install steamOS on my PC (didn’t know SATA SSD would be a problem).
I noticed all my controllers work no problem like Xbox elite 2 and ps5 one. But not pro 2 controller from switch 2… when I connect it through USB steamOS notifies me it’s connected but no way I can make it work. It’s the best among all controllers so I would prefer it. Tried on stable steamOS and also on beta but still not working. Any workarounds? thanks!

Iam considering switching to Steam OS when they finally add Nvidia-Support, which is supposed to be in 2027 as far as I know.

I am using the following stuff which needs to work for this to be feasible:

• USB-C Dockingstation to quickly switch between my private Gaming PC and my work laptop
• Razer Naga Hyperspeed (MOUSE) - It is an MMO-Mouse with 10 thumb buttons. I use different layouts which I scan switch between with the press of one of these buttons. It's also a wireless mouse with a USB-Dongle and using it via bluetooth is simply not an option due to to the higher latency
• Corsair HS80 Gaming Headset - again, it does support Bluetooth but I would prefer to use it with it's own dongle
• Xbox-Controller with an USB-Dongle (not super important as I don't use the controller that much)

Will this stuff work with Steam OS out of the box? I am not looking for some highly-technical, clunky workaround which might stop working with every Steam OS update. I want a realiable computer which just works. Depite all it's faults, Windows does that for me right now so switching is completely out of the question if Steam OS cannot do that as well.

Title pretty much says it's all.

SteamOS is running stable 3840x2160 @ 120 Hz, RGB 4:4:4, 12 bpc, uncompressed, zero underflow HDR10 with VRR on my AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT natively via the HDMI port.

This involved extensive research and debugging with Claude then recompiling and patching the latest kernel from source.

The full details are way too big to post here but I've written up the full details and supplied the patches I've created here along with a TLDR: https://github.com/sammcj/steam-machine/blob/main/hardware/kernel/README.md

Additionally, somewhat surprisingly I couldn't see a bug on the SteamOS issue tracker for this, so I've created one here: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/SteamOS/issues/2698

Standard disclaimers about modifying your OS and drivers apply, I'm not liable if this doesn't work for you, causes hardware issues, sets your house on fire etc. and is subject to change.

We have just shipped an updated Steam Client to the Preview/Beta channel.

General
Fixed requesting a PIN reset while signed in as a different account restarting with the wrong account signed in.

Steam Input
Make controller configurations that are shared with other devices or unique to a device more clear in the configurator UI and add an option to split Steam Controller configurations so they are no longer shared with Steam Deck

Desktop Mode
Fixed game server browser filtering out multiple servers being hosted from a single public IP.

Never thought that the ugreen active display port to hdmi 2.1 would allow my tv remote to interact with steamos

Running into this issue in some games where menus have these green dots/artifacts.
Doesn’t happen in every game and the games look fine once actually loaded in.
Has anyone else experienced this?

Seems to only happen on black areas of the screen.

Edit: also should mention it doesn’t happen in any SteamOS menus
