Quoting: scaineIf Nvidia are going to do anything around open source, it'll be their new kernel modules, I expect

The kernel modules are curently usable for some cases like gaming but lack some features like power management and are a bit buggy. I was using open kernel modules but switched back because of bugs.

Quoting: ShmerlI think nouveau is actually the most relevant for this question

I don't think nouveau will be relevant for GT800 and above for a year but it indeed will be in the future.

My expectation is that SteamOS 3 will be released for the masses at the end of this year (november, december) possibly along with Deckard. (new VR headset) Also Steam Deck will make it to the markets in a few regions at the end of this year.

If I use Nvidia open kernel modules, should I choose "open source drivers" or "propriearty drivers"?

AFAIK you don't have to disable Steam shader cache anymore but I may be wrong.

Wait...

Fixed an issue where Vulkan applications would crash when running under Wayland

YES!!! Not fuck you nvidia! I can verify Vulkan works again on KDE Wayland!

Quoting: slaapliedjeI knew this would be the case, and maintain they should have just stuck with Debian.

IMO sticking to Debian is not possible because new features necessary to make games run (ie. Halo Infinite) and performance improvements first make it to Arch Linux and actually Valve is the one on the front developing these features so Arch naturally makes sense. I don't mean updating every minute like real Arch installations but having an Arch base but doing what Manjaro couldn't: dodging and circumventing breakages while delivering new features by holding base a few days back, not waiting 6 months like current situation.

Quoting: slaapliedjeBut then I also tried the Deck UI on a desktop, and.. well I need a Steam Controller 2 so it has the extra Steam / ... buttons on it :)

FYI: PS and Xbox buttons on respective controllers supplement the Steam button. And for (...) functionality, hit Steam button anywhere and navigate to battery icon with up and right buttons on DPad. (or analog stick)

Quoting: pbI can't wait for a proper "normal pc" release of SteamOS. My self-made-steam-machine went from SteamOS 1 to SteamOS 2 to GamerOS to EndeavourOS but it pines for SteamOS 3 all the time.

If the GPU is AMD, SteamOS 3 or one of its derivates (Holo, Winesap...) should work fine.

Quoting: PinguinoDear Valve,

Please bring the Steam Deck to Norway before we spend all our money on Teslas and sports gear.

Tell that on Twitter and ping @OnDeck on your message.
