Is so quick yet switching back to game mode is so slow.
What’s the actual reason for this?
Not exactly a Steam OS expert, but based on my own observations:
- Switching to desktop is indeed fast
- Given you see the intro movie etc, you fully reboot when ‘returning’ to gaming mode. You get the boot movie too.
- Speculation from my side: Gaming mode needs to be booted directly into, with desktop mode (a regular-ish Linux environment) existing ‘under’ the gaming mode UI. So switching to desktop mode shuts down gaming mode, whereas to get back into it you need to reboot.
Return to gaming mode also causes that weird bug right now where green lines start spreading from the right of the device to the left, it happened to me.once so I just reboot my device when in desktop mode to get back into gaming mode.
That said, doing an actual reboot does seem to take even LONGER than going back to gaming mode normally, but that may be my imagination
i installed a desktop mode shortcut in the gaming mode , so from gaming mode i can open up desktop mode , so it eliminates that transition period of switching . look it up on youtube
Starting KDE is quick, starting Steam is slow.
Go to desktop > menu > lost and found
Add Nested Desktop to Steam. Bam, problem solved.
