installing bazzite testing branch on steam oled
Hey yall,
Does anyone know if there is any other way to install bazzite on my steam deck oled that still supports hdr, and can be run with wifi?
I wont have a dock with ethernet yet, and the testing branch is the only version of bazzite with hdr support, but i cant install it as the wifi is broken on this version.
Ive had advise that suggested to install fedora kinoite 39 offline first and rebase it into bazzites testing branch, but when booting the iso i get a flipped screen that doesnt even fit the entire installer on it.. see https://postimg.cc/qN0H4W8T for an example of what i see

from what i have gathered, a dock is required for the oled right now (or a way to hook the deck to a monitor and physical keyboard) until you rebase to the testing image, especially if you use silverblue/kinoite offline isos.
next week at some point, a bunch of oled stuff will be merged into the main/stable branch, i havent touched anything to do with the installer so i do not know if this will help with the wifi during install. maybe @Kyle Gospo will know about that.
but what if the testing iso is used?
same
Right now I think Nobara is the only installer ISO with wifi for OLED Deck. Otherwise Ethernet and USB dock until you can rebase to Bazzite testing completely (which will soon change)
Nobara used to be the same until a couple weeks ago
But it’s an offline ISO at 5gb or something
yup, and we're in the middle of redoing our ISOs entirely on a new stack
so whenever that's finished it'll be time to revisit this
what do you mean by "new stack"?
Completely new software building the ISO from upstream
And a new installer
what installer are we gonna use?
Fedora's new installer

Yes
I wonder if we could just have have options to select what variant of ublue in the installer
Maybe, primary focus is going to be offline isos
Where we would only want a single image per ISO
At least from our perspective
