Quoting: Stupendous ManYou might want to be careful with this upgrade, it didn't boot for me on my Ryzen 3200G box and I had to reinstall and downgrade to the earlier release.
The ChimeraOS creator was super helpful on the Discord though so no complaints, just something to keep in mind.

How did you downgrade? I wiped ChimeraOS and installed a more standard Arch flavour after all proton games stopped working in a new version and they said that "downgrades are not supported [External Link]".

It's a recently implemented script, the instructions are on the ChimeraOS discord under 'help'. I suppose it'll be more officially implemented later, the dev wrote the script the other day to help me with my issues.

Anyway, the instructions on the discord are:
"I updated the install/upgrade script, you can download it here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ChimeraOS/frzr/master/frzr-deploy [External Link]

After downloading the script, you can run the following commands to downgrade permanently to ChimeraOS 26:
1. sudo systemctl stop frzr-autoupdate
2. sudo systemctl disable frzr-autoupdate
3. chmod +x frzr-deploy
4. sudo ./frzr-deploy chimeraos/chimeraos:26
5. sudo reboot"

Quoting: Purple Library GuySo this is very popular. Can someone explain to me the appeal of a game where you drive trucks around, much the way real people only do when they're being paid and have few options?

It's a very relaxing game, you basically drive around enjoying the landscape and listening to the radio. If you want more challenge, you can get a wheel and shifter and drive with manual shifting while hauling oversize trailers.
ATS is one of my favourite games (ETS2 less so, mostly because it makes no sense to drive with manual shifting there and I enjoy the challenge).

That would be the issue, thanks! I'm not going to lower my security for a game though, so my /tmp stays noexec. It does work when running the binary directly as you mentioned.

I went ahead and bought the base game, but it doesn't launch - apparently the launcher is broken on many Linux distros. I was able to launch the game executable directly though. Is there any trick to disable the launcher in Steam?

Nice, I recently replaced my old mouse with the Razer Viper Mini. I tried changing the LED to a fixed light in a Windows VM but the config doesn't get saved to the mouse, but is only active while the Razer software is running. Perhaps now I can get rid of the rainbow light show!

Quoting: MohandevirBeeePOS!

Like in "Beep! OS"? Or in "Bee Positive OS"? or in "Biiig Picture OS"?

Nevermind! :grin:

Or like in Beee Piece of Sh*t XD

Kidding aside, I've been using GamerOS for more than a month now and it works very well. I use it mostly for Kodi but often play games too. So far it's been rock stable and quick to start/shutdown for a quick game.

Just today I built an ITX HTPC/Steam Machine and installed Gameros on it. So far it works amazingly well, I've tried a mix of native and proton games and everything except Trine 2 works with 0 issues.
Only thing I'm missing is HDMI/CEC to control Kodi via the TV remote and Hyperion for my TV backlight. I hope I can get those to work too somehow.

I used this once for Euro Truck Simulator 2 since one of the achievements wouldn't trigger even though I had all the conditions for it (own a garage in all cities). Turns out just having had a map mod installed once messed up the game and made the achievement unachievable.
Call it cheating if you wish, but since I already had all the conditions for the achievement I felt it was perfectly legit to use SAM.

Quoting: Xaero_VincentMaybe I should invest in a Powerline Ethernet adapter or something?

Don't. I have one of those, and it loses connection several times a day for 2-3 minutes. It works just fine for my media center that accesses the content from my server over the powerline adapter, but it's completely useless for stuff like my Steam Link.

I've come to the conclusion that the only solution is ethernet cables. If I didn't rent I've had put those in the walls a long time ago.
