Bluetooth to wake was a significant part of why I upgraded to OLED lol (before you judge me, a friend had offered to buy my original). But I’m glad it’s coming to the LCD model now too.
And Plasma 6! Finally!
Yeah, I want more details on that. Originally Bluetooth to wake only worked for BLE devices on the OLED as far as I know. Controllers like the steam controller had to have a ble firmware update before they could wake it.
However recently I’ve had my OLED deck (on beta steam OS) get woken up by my stadia controllers, which aren’t BLE and previously couldn’t wake the deck. I haven’t tested it well, but it doesn’t seem consistent.
Now they’re saying non BLE devices can wake the LCD deck, so I’m assuming that means they’re going to work for waking the OLED deck as well?
Edit: did some testing, and I seems like all my stadia controllers will now consistently wake up my OLED deck. A big improvement for me personally.
Stadia my beloved :')
Interesting you mention that, the actual patch notes indicate BLE won’t work with LCD. Though, the wording makes it seem like there’s a chance that could change in the future?
Known issue: Bluetooth LE based controllers are not currently compatible with bluetooth wake on LCD models
Let’s see how broad hardware support is. I’m planning to build a SFF PC for the TV and I know Bazzite exists but I like the slow and stable approach of SteamOS for a machine like that.
SFF?
Small form factor
👍 thanks.
Awe I was hoping for 6.14-git for NTSYNC this go around.
Hoping they get a faster kernel supply chain or 3.8 includes it and follows shortly after.
A new version of Plasma is great news for me as I plan on using my future Deck as a second computer alongside my Surface Go 1.
Beginnings of support for non-Steam Deck handhelds
That’s awesome, can’t wait to tinker with it.
Is the Desktop using Wayland now or is it still on x11?
Still on x11 as far as I know.
Some really cool stuff there!
