Beta Support #10

Closed NGnius closed 1 year ago

NGnius commented 2 years ago

Describe what you'd like to be able to do SteamOS beta has some software differences from SteamOS stable which make it harder to support

Describe alternatives you've considered Only using SteamOS stable. Apparently some people enjoy being on the bleeding edge

Additional context How hard is it to switch between beta and stable versions? Would it be better to buy an extra SSD or SD card to accomplish this?

How hard is it to switch between beta and stable versions? It is supposedly very easy, but has too big a chance to break things currently, so I don't think it's worth it, especially not just to test preemptively, unless something is reported to be broken.

Yeah that's why I was thinking using another storage drive would be a reasonably good idea. Best option would be to buy another Steam Deck, but I'm not willing to pay $500+ just to be able to better support it. Similarly I can't really justify spending the money to buy a SSD or SD just for this project.

Anyway, not a big deal. I really just started this issue to keep track of how good/bad SteamOS beta is.

I haven't encountered interop issues between beta and stable versions of SteamOS in a while, so closing as stale and unplanned. My support policy has not changed, I'm just cleaning up issues.
