Not supported
You'd need to make a custom image
Also KDE has promised to mark any issue with X11 as closed/won't fix
We are following the same
What issues are you having?
Its a lot. controller issues. not being able to use scroll wheel bindings. keyboard not always showing in desktop mode. steam needs to be relaunched from desktop mode. no on screen keyboard alternative for wayland.
ui glitching. especially on game launch in gamemode. for example, the ui that slides in/out that shows the logo will repeat over a few times. external display issues.
What kind of controller issues? Are you binding the scroll wheel in a game or is this on the desktop?
Any game mode UI funny business is firmly within the realm of valve, we have no control over that
It's just the steam client
doesnt do this on stock
I have reproduced that behavior in steamos
It's random when it occurs
this is consistent on bazzite
Okay, I can't do anything about it
You are looking at the steam client
It is not consistent for me
As far as your keyboard not opening issue I have had that in steamos in the past. The fix is to close steam and open it again
We do not support alternative keyboards, neither does steamos
this is a steam deck. i mean the onscreen keybaord.
Yes
so while unsupported there is no way to get help switching to x11. to test some of these issues. i have to make my own image or go back to steamos.
got it
Like I said it would require a custom image
X11 is not even installed here
With the only exception being the Nvidia images
Even if that fixed your problem it's a dead end, KDE will not support it and the option to install it is being eliminated within the next 5 months
Same is true on GNOME
yes i understand it isnt installed out of the box. i was trying to figure out these autorun scripts or startup process.
We have a commit that removed all of the X11 stuff from our session model
You would need to revert that and then install the package in a custom image
Basically a fork with a built-in expiration date
