Title says all, is it possible to use a mainline kernel on a non-SteamOS install or do you have to use Valve’s kernel they ship with SteamOS 3.x? Is it possible to find all the the patches they use and compile a kernel yourself?

    It’s still usable, for sure. The Bazzite team back ported the WiFi and BT patches, so those function. But if you rely on reducing refresh rate to save battery like I do, that can be a big one.

    The audio issue isn’t too big of a deal, you just have to do a full reboot to go back into game mode. Just takes a few extra seconds.

    But if you already have an LCD, I see the wisdom in waiting for the team to iron out OLED support.
