I know for monitors the dock specs are: 4k_60 or 1440_120. Display Port or HDMI, doesn’t matter.

I can verify I had it power my two PC monitors at 1440_120x2 I didn’t test variable refresh rates tho.

For me … I just plug the dock USB C top cord out/off and on/in again 🥹.

After the deck is booted and at steam screen or desktop mode.

Then for future boots, it’s usually okay. If not… Repeat step 1.

I blame CEC/HDMI control shenanigans.

Upon checking the Steam Display settings… You could try toggling the External display safe mode button to on.

I know on Desktop mode when it is docked, under KDE Plasmas’ System Settings > Display Configuration when docked, should have more resolution and refresh rate options. For the TV display

So I just noticed on my OLED solo on the screen it only allowed 90hz. Brb after more science. But there’s probably a way to keep the external at 60hz and the deck display separate.

So I have my TV fed through my sound bar, but it does let me make sure it’s 60hz and 4k ✅

For context having them the same refresh rate only matters if you were playing on a PC and streaming to the Deck TV set-up over Steam Play.

Sorry for any confusion. My bad.

On my C9PUA it just works with the dock.

Did you try locking FPS / Display settings to 60 on deck/TV?

AMD only does 60hz over HDMI because HDMI forums. Need Display Port for beyond 60hz.

Make your own Atomic Fedora.

Or tryout Project Bluefin.

Bazzite is also available in gnome.

This is the way.

I love and use Bazzite 🎮 myself ✅

I tried to shill Steam Deck / Bazzite on a gaming PlayStation 5 post about Disc Drive being DLC, and it didn’t go well :(

I even informed them PS5 is just Open BSD with training wheels/handicaps.

Consider Aurora or Bazzite. If you wanna roll with KDE.

Imagine just turning it on and using it.

Chromebook easy Atomic Fedora with extra goodness baked in.

Is it a kernel 6.10 bug?

Hear me out … Embrace the Chromebook easy life.

For your consideration:

Work/Development based?

• Project Bluefin 🦖

Gamer?

• Bazzite 🎮

Otherwise on Fedora, brush up on RPM Fusion.

Because patent encumbrance is fun.

Yaaa.

And I use Enhancer for YouTube™ on desktop Firefox on my Bazzite PC.

And Tubular on my Android phone.

CLIphobia is a new one to me.

I have a Brother HL-L2395DW

Tho when I went to add it as a printer, my system automatically selected the “reccomended” drivers on Plasma 6+.

I remember on older Plasma, that you still had to select Brother first, then search for model type. At that next screen or if I edit my current printer, I searched for L23:

By generic printer driver, I meant the cups/driverless one on this selection screen. Opposed to any official Brother or GutenPrint drivers/ppd files.

I did try searching for your exact model, but nothing showed for me…tho I can’t tell if that’s because mine is already wireless/UPnP and grabbing only it’s settings.

I’m using the Brother HL-L2395DW series, driverless, 2.0.0

I Just have to also make sure duplex printing is set to on, both system and firefox/application whatever settings. On Firefox I use Flip on long edge.

Have you tried using the driverless cups driver tho?

On Bazzite I believe people use Firefox installed as Android app, so they can simply switch to it for game guides etc, while playing a game, in GameScope/Big Screen/GameMode™

I’m too lazy to test, because I just run it as my daily driver on my Desktop.

You can type switcheroo list in terminal and find out.

Tho this would mean it wasn’t related to iGPU switching issue.

Here’s to Plasma 6.1 hopefully fixing more display issues for people with esync and 3x buffering for Wayland.

For Flatpak Steam/Lutris one can use Flatseal to easily add drive locations/access as much or little as you want to tweak.

Issues because of having an iGPU?

Switcheroo is patched on Bazzite. switcherooctl to make sure Flatpaks etc are using the correct dedicated GPU and not trying to use iGPUs.

Tho an update was on the 18th that was supposed to fix some issues people were having.

(Weeks ago steam was trying to use my iGPU again on my AMD system, and that’s when I learned about switcheroo list etc etc. sometimes Flatpak Games like B.A.R. were trying to do the same thing. Bleh!)

You can also force .desktop or shortcuts on KDE Plasma to run using dedicated GPUs by Right Clicking >

Pic from discord channel

Or… Was this an Adaptive Sync issue…in that case try turning that off. sometimes I skim over things when replying.

Anyway, Discourse, Discord and GitHub are all good ways to get in touch/help with the community vs Lemmy/Mastodon. Sometimes I feel like an Ambassador.

Been on Bazzite myself since the F38 Beta.

I haven’t had to so much as perform a rollback even once on my AMDxAMD desktop.

In fact the upgrade from versions isn’t even a worry anymore.

I played some games, turned off my computer at the Fedora 40 launch and magically it upgraded to Bazzite 40 the next time I booted up, with 0 effort on my part.

Is this because of the HD PC port recompilation posts of Majora’s Mask etc? Sigh.

E-waste

So I have a glass etched OG 512 LCD and a limited ED oled because I’m on life crisis #4 abouts.

The oled definitely feels lighter after handling both. And better WiFi is also nice. 🔋 Life is also +.
