    Steamify 2.11.1

    • d70aeb8 docs: new README screenshots of the app (2.11 menu) on a Steam Machine and on an NVIDIA PC, and the README names the opt-in "Start Steam silently in desktop mode" and the icons as an option of the conversion

    Steamify 2.10.0

    • d6db4f6 feat: "Gaming on NVIDIA" (nvidia) replaces the SteamOS conversion on PCs with an NVIDIA GPU, where gamescope's gaming mode shows a corrupted picture (NVIDIA bug 5240452): Steam is installed when missing and starts at login on the Plasma desktop; the sub-option "Steam starts in Big Picture" (bigpicture) starts it in Big Picture, unticked in its normal window, on an empty Plasma session so windows of the last session don't cover it. On a supported card (RTX 20 series or newer) it also sets the NVIDIA kernel parameters and early modules. The conversion and its options are hidden there unless already on
    • d1373e2 feat: single user mode also works on NVIDIA PCs, without the SteamOS conversion
    • 5811f5c fix: "Add as non-Steam game" isn't offered on NVIDIA PCs (shown when already on, so it can be turned off)
    • 83248a8 feat: Extended controller support (extended_controller_support, off by default): the Xbox wireless dongle (xone) and Xbox controllers over Bluetooth with rumble and battery level (xpadneo), built for every installed kernel; off removes only what Steamify installed
    • 01a77b7 feat: a new opt-in option (unticked by default) shows the "new" badge in the menu and the app
    • f1983a9 docs: README screenshots of the 2.10.0 app, side by side: on a Steam Machine and on a PC with an NVIDIA card

    Steamify 2.9.6

    • fix(ci): a dev ISO from a release branch is built with that branch's own Steamify (input steamify_ref of the ISO workflow), not the newest published release: release/2.9.6 kept producing 2.9.5 ISOs
    • docs: changelog hashes for 2.9.6
    • 9a2965d fix(ci): the ISO workflow always runs from master; main asks for a release ISO, a release branch for a dev ISO (input kind of iso-1-github-tag.yml; feat/steamify is no longer needed)
    • c42d545 fix(ci): a version published from main starts a real ISO release, a release branch a dev ISO (it always started the dev one)
    • b3bed43 chore: Version 2.9.6

    Changes in this ISO

    The latest commits (there is no earlier real release to compare with):

    • fix: sudo mkarchiso keeps STEAMIFY_ISO_VERSION and STEAMIFY_BUILD_STAMP (sudo dropped them: the ISO was named local, labelled LOCAL)
    • fix: the ISO build reads no clock of its own: file name, label and boot menu come from the release tag only (GitHub's time); without a tag: local
    • feat: the ISO's boot menu and /etc/steammachine-iso-build name its release tag too (were the build date): the tag decides everything
    • feat: the ISO's file is named after its release tag (steamify-cachyos-2.9.3-dev.2026.09.29-2230-x86_64.iso), so the GitHub release links straight to the ISO and its SHA-256 on the mirror
    • feat: the ISO's label follows the Steamify version on it and the build time (STEAMIFY_2_9_1_20260929_1432, was COS_); the release workflow names the same moment
    • fix: steamify-install leaves /var/log mounted (the caller reads its log afterwards; unmounting it hid the log again)
    • fix: steamify-install mounts the new system's /var/log (@log) first, so its logs aren't hidden under the mount after boot
    • fix: the systemd-boot entry is made with efibootmgr from the live system (bootctl in the chroot wrote HD(0,GPT,0000...), which the firmware can't load)
    • fix: systemd-boot gets its EFI boot entry (bootctl skips the EFI variables in the installer's chroot)
    • feat: The installer only offers KDE Plasma, and the boot loaders Steamify supports (Limine, systemd-boot, GRUB; not rEFInd)
    • fix: Only the installer says Steamify (CachyOS with Steamify Installer); the live session keeps CachyOS's own name
    • fix: The live session's About this System keeps CachyOS's own name (no renaming)
