Rebase Image

How do I rebase my Bazzite for my steam deck to start in big screen mode instead of desktop mode? Without redoing the process with a usb.

use the bazzite rebase helper (or brh for short) https://docs.bazzite.gg/Installing_and_Managing_Software/Updates_Rollbacks_and_Rebasing/bazzite_rollback_helper/?h= if youre on the gnome image you rebase to bazzite-deck-gnome:stable if youre on the kde image (same look as steamos desktop) then rebase to bazzite-deck:stable

Ah well fuck me I guess I've been doing it wrong πŸ˜‚ What's the downside of doing it that way if you don't mind me ssking Because now I need to know if I need to rebase πŸ˜‚ Ah I see. Not the signed version. rpm-ostree rebase ostree-image-signed:docker://ghcr.io/ublue-os/bazzite-deck:stable That would be the proper one then.

I'm more curious as to how they ended up with desktop Bazzite on steam deck anyways πŸ˜‚ can't imagine there would be much functionality out the box. I accidentally rebased to desktop version on my ally, rebasing back was not much fun

Lack of drivers and handheld patches would be 1 issue The image is not verified to actually be from us (signed by us) when you update. Means you can receive a tampered image from someone doing a mitm attack or similar. Simplest way to explain

Thanks for explaining. That makes sense Yeah. Controller doesn't work. No onscreen keyboard. Luckily I had a USB hub and mouse and keyboard handy Ya know what's strange? I've been using handheld daemon. For rebasing between testing and stable. And I just realized on the topgrade it shows as a no registry image Just rebased again and it's confirmed. HHD rebasing uses unverified registry.
