So Steam Deck's BIOS has some battery maintenance options?

Yes. You must drain the battery while playing (let it shutdown while in game), connect the Steam Deck to the original charger (recommended), restart in Bios, disconnect from charger and let it completely drain. After that, the Steam Deck must be recharged for the next 6-8 hours. Rinse and repeat. Read that it could require more than one such cycle...

Let's hope so. Else I will have to think about a battery bank or a battery replacement (iFixIt or 185$USD if done by Valve, from what they told me).

Oooh, does SteamOS have a builtin battery health indicator or how did you get that value? Would be cool to know. :)

KDE shows this is desktop mode.

Exactly. The battery icon, in the task bar, will give you this info.

Edit: Right now, I'm in a full charge/ full drain (through bios) to see if I can get it to "reset" the battery health.

I'll take everything they give us in the battery department; my battery health stands at 70%, right now and it shows in my playtime.

Great OS. These guys are doing an awesome job upgrading and maintaining it.

Unfortunately, bluetooth support, on my PC, is finicky with Bazzite. I was using it up to two weeks ago, when I discovered that I could use stock SteamOS, with my hardware (all AMD).

It's easier when you write it. Nobody can see your face.

Personnally, I was using my Ultimate 2C with the dongle. For the Dolphin Emulator, it uses the same configurations that is used with my Steam Controllers' dongle, so I can use whichever I prefer without having to do any additional setup.

For my part, with the dongle, It was already working great. I guess this update makes Bluetooth support much better.

Fyi, last time I tried, Valve's SteamOS Imager ISO couldn't be used to install SteamOS on a computer. At least, not on mine. I just saw an LTT video in which he did, on an all AMD based computer. I decided to try again. It works! I now have an official "Powered by SteamOS TM" computer hooked to my living room TV!

Thanks Valve!

P.S. Do not try if you have an Nvidia GPU. It seems the installer's desktop session doesn't load.

So this rumour is not linked to the Fremont "leak", whatever that refers to?

Thanks for clearing that up. I began to have doubt, based on comments from PLGriffais in one of your previous post, too (I can't find the source).

This said, does it rules out a "Powered by SteamOS" Lenovo mini pc?

Reading this reminds me of Sapkowsky's Hussite Trilogy. Same setting, at least. Just saying.
