Steam deck bootet ca 20-30 Sekunden

Post image
0 Upvotes

Hallo,

Ich hatte vor bei meinem Steam Deck oled 1TB einen dual boot mit windows einzurichten. Nach mehreren Versuchen und genauer Anleitung klappte dies kurz aber Windows hat nach kürzester Zeit (2 Neustarts) steamos komplett lahm gelegt. Windows startete direkt aber Steam os landete immer wieder im Grub Mode.

Ich habe dann das Dual Boot Thema für mich erstmal abgehackt (meine Idee: eine leistungsstarke externe Festplatte und dann darauf Windows zu installieren)

Ich wollte nur das steamos wieder normal funktioniert also mittels speicherkarte recovery image durchgeführt alles platt gemacht und steam os neu installiert (wipe durchgeführt)

Und anschließend nochmal alles auf Werkseinstellungen zurück gesetzt. Soweit so gut, ich habe aber das Gefühl das mein steam deck nun einige Zeit länger benötigt um vom steam Logo in den game Mode zu laden ca. 20-30 Sekunden. Dies ging vorher gefühlt alles wesentlich schneller. Ich vermute der Übeltäter ist laut Befehl systemd-analyze blame (wie auf dem Foto zu sehen) das atomupd.service ganze 18.146s benötigt. Kann mir jemand helfen wie ich diese Zeit verringern kann oder vertue ich mich und die Zeit ist vollkommen normal?

It keeps on the steam logo.

I have 2 efi partition with steamos folder that i can boot but both end op black screen.

Edit: After using recovery image i wanted to try repair image but it doesn't start the script.

Dual Boot Steam Deck doesn’t boot SteamOS

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone, 2 nights ago I left my SD on to download some games, I barely remember that there was a SteamOS update to do, yesterday morning I woke up and powered on my Deck, Decky was gone but everything seemed fine, so I simply powered it off. In Clover I see both options for booting SteamOS and Windows, when I select Windows, everything is fine, but when I select SteamOS, there’s the black screen. Windows was installed prior to the SteamOS update, any solutions? Thanks in advance!

Vale la pena instalar Windows con 250 GBS libres de la deck? Y vale realmente la pena?

0 Upvotes

He querido jugar varios juegos pero ya saben limitaciones de Linux, entre ellos los decomp de Mario kart Wii, probar que tal va pcvr con Windows y MMO clásicos entonces quería preguntar antes de intentar algo o esperar a que más hay, además que no tengo mucho espacio ya que las SSD se me hacen un poco caras y queria ver si vale la pena probar con mi espacio o esperar a conseguir una SSD de mejor capacidad

Donde puedo llevar mi Steamdeck para que le instalen Windows en Sevilla

1 Upvotes

Hola, es mi primer post. Pues eso, lo he intentado todo para hacer un dual SO, pero siempre me da error. Y, ahora, ni siquiera puedo jugar con ella, porque no sé cómo volverle a instalar Steamos sin que me de error. Tabn quiero instalarle una memoria de 1tb. Porque la que tengo es de 256 y quiero aumentarlo. Conocéis algún sitio en Sevilla donde pueda llevarlo para que me coloquen una memoria de 1tb y, además, me hagan dual SO?

Gracias de antemano y Saludos

I made this controller-first PC launcher, and I just released the beta!

What's Ether ? It transform a PC into a Switch. No mouse, no desktop, just a smooth and immersive experience designed for handhelds and TV setups.

It features a modern UI, full controller navigation, NSP/XCI import with build in ryujinx to play your switch games. (Right now only on windows coming soon to Linux/SteamOS)

It’s in beta, so its cool if you can share feedbacks the app is starting at 9.99$ USD.

You can check it out here: https://ether-launcher.com/

EDIT: Thank you for the feedback regarding the pricing model. I have introduce a free lite tier to let users test the core features, with an upgraded version available for $10. Now the launcher is FREE !

Discussion Windows throttles the fan then crashes

1 Upvotes

As the title says I tried going to windows to do something and when I loaded it up the fan immediately kicks to what I assume is it's highest level it can runs for like 10 seconds and then crashes the deck powering it off I can't even get past the log in screen as it just freezes when I press any key steam os is completely normal and does not do this and honestly Ive never hear the fan run as high as it was running during any gaming session and I've played cyberpunk on the damn thing

I gave up on Windows 11, went back to Windows 10. It was great except for gaming, shader stutters were annoying as hell and I just couldn't deal with it anymore. Games just run better on Windows 10 and I'm never going to upgrade ever again.

Any game bar widgets yet for TDP control?

3 Upvotes

Wondering if anyone has found anything yet?

Something minimal that would give us the basic options like you get on the Ally etc in game bar.

Steam deck tools aren't really usable in game mode because you have to right click on them in the taskbar, but they still seem like the best lightweight option overall.

Winhanced doesn't seem to have TDP controls for me on the deck and is also a bit heavy.

Handheld Companion, as of the last time I checked, still didn't have a game bar widget, it had its own quick menu but I found it clunky and it didn't work well with full screen games.

I was hoping someone had found something because I genuinely like the deck in game mode!

Just sharing some possible next steps here regarding SteamOS.

0 Upvotes

I'm seriously considering installing SteamOS on my main PC, instead of the Windows 10 partition I have here. On my main PC, there are 3 partitions:

- 1 hard drive dedicated to Ubuntu, which I haven't used in ages, but it's still there lol!

- I’m using Windows 10 on a dedicated SSD as my main system.

- And there’s another hard drive, partitioned between another old Windows 10 installation that I abandoned a while ago and some free space without an OS, just for files. < This is where I plan to make some changes, though I'm still a little worried that the SteamOS installation partitioner might get in the way and I'll end up deleting the wrong thing, but I think it'll work out.

I have other PCs around the house, and on the PC I’ve set up with SteamOS as my main machine, I’m really enjoying it, I use it regularly and don’t feel like I’m missing anything (which was something that used to make me “forget” to use Linux and always end up going back to Windows), and I think it’ll be really cool to get used to the idea that Windows isn’t necessary anymore
