I was running 3.5 for months. The only bugs I noticed was:
- Backlight staying on when docked.
- Audio cracking; ONLY in RetroArch when the volume overlay was being displayed.
- Darker colors sometimes in desktop mode (they fixed that one).
Those two were already reported.
For the rewards… You can log out and log back in; you should receive the rewards then.
Device information and serial number is only sent during login, so if you already have a current session (from your old Deck), Steam hasn’t had the chance to know you are on a new device.
That’s not how this works.
The game developer and the anti-cheat provider have to explicitly allow the game to run under Proton. Epic Games has refused to do so for Fortnite.
Remember that anti-cheat systems are there to make sure that the runtime environment of the game has not been tempered with. Running the game on Linux with Proton is, as far as an anti-cheat system is aware, a completely different runtime environment than running on Windows.
If the developer doesn’t explicitly allow it, and the anti-cheat system does its job, there is nothing you can do to run the game under Linux.
Fortnite is such a game.
If it is on a build before the 3.5 OLED update on preview (released on Nov 14th), no.
You’ll need a USB-C ethernet adapter to update after swapping as you won’t have the required kernel modules for the new Wifi chip.
That’s just false information.
First of all, the exact same SteamOS image is deployed and installed on both the LED Deck and the OLED Deck. That image is immutable, so there’s no specific config for one model or another that gets generated at runtime. The only thing you must do is update your OS before cloning/transposing the drive.
Again, the exact same
rootfspartition images are present on both LED Deck and OLED Deck. The only thing that is different is the user partition (where you install your games and flatpaks).Cloning a drive is perfectly safe (verify that the clone has been successful).
Transposing a drive from an LED Deck to an OLED Deck is completely safe (make sure your OS is updated prior to transposing the drive).
It’s still present in ⚙️ Settings › Display › Adjust Display Colors
There’s also a new toggle Use Native Color Temperature under Advanced
As long as you updated to 3.5.5 Stable before, you should be good to go.
Just clone your drive and you are good to go.
Unless you messed with the partition table to add a Windows partition, SteamOS will automatically expand your home partition to the full size of the disk on bootup.
