on GitHub

The full read me file for winesapOS can be found here.

Setup instructions and system requirements can be found here.

Built using: steamdeck-recovery-1.img

Top 3 new features:

• SteamOS 3 is now our default installed operating system instead of Arch Linux.
  • A full comparison between SteamOS 3 and winesapOS 3 can be found here.
• More default applications added.
  • BalenaEtcher
  • Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) Studio
  • PeaZip
  • ProtonUp-Qt
• GE-Proton updated.
  • GE-Proton7-8 is available by default.

Issues addressed since 3.0.0-alpha.1:

• The Dolphin file manager is now installed.

Known issues:

• SteamOS 3 does not ship OpenGL drivers for Intel (only Vulkan).
  • Fix: Use Zink for OpenGL games by setting the variable MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=zink on a per-game basis. Do NOT set this globally in /etc/environment as Zink is missing functionality for KDE Plasma to work.
• Users must login twice. This is a bug in KDE Plasma 5.23 that has been resolved in version 5.24 of the desktop environment.
  • Fix: Wait for SteamOS to update KDE Plasma.
• Pacman does not install some new packages due to missing and expired keys.
  • Fix: sudo pacman-key --populate archlinux
• The root partition fails to resize to 100% on internal NVMe drives.
  • Fix:

    sudo mv /usr/local/bin/resize-root-file-system.sh{,_3.0.0-beta.0}
    sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LukeShortCloud/winesapOS/test/scripts/resize-root-file-system.sh -O /usr/local/bin/resize-root-file-system.sh
    sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/resize-root-file-system.sh
    sudo systemctl enable resize-root-file-system
    echo Please reboot to finish
    

• Pacman update make the system unbootable. This is because SteamOS ships (1) a custom GRUB package to deal with their A/B partitions, (2) a custom linux-firmware-neptune package that only have firmware for the Steam Deck, and (3) a custom linux-lts package that is unbootable on winesapOS.
  • Fix:

    $ sudo vim /etc/pacman.conf
    [options]
    IgnorePkg = linux-lts linux-lts-headers linux-firmware-neptune grub
