# To do (Steam Machine edition)
|
|
|
|
## In progress (2026-09-27)
|
|
|
|
1. **Done (2026-09-27, `f42859a`):** a VM install from the ISO (Hello's
|
|
Install, no manual fixes) ran Steamify's step: every component OK,
|
|
`exit: 0`, SDDM autologin into gamescope. Still to check: the first
|
|
desktop login (Vapor layout, single user's launcher, the app next to
|
|
Hello); in the VM switch the SDDM session to plasma first. The VM's text
|
|
console doesn't show (virgl): read the installed disk with
|
|
`qemu-nbd -r` + `mount -o ro,rescue=nologreplay,subvol=@` (logs in `@log`).
|
|
2. **Rename the ISO** file/label to Steam Machine CachyOS (see Later).
|
|
3. **Steamify PR**: `feat/defaults-mode` (2.6.0, `b948c20`) in
|
|
steamify-cachyos, pushed but no PR yet. Open it once the install test
|
|
passes; the user merges (never commit to main).
|
|
4. **Test on the real Steam Machine** from a USB stick (gamescope, LEDs, CEC,
|
|
power-off) before calling the ISO usable.
|
|
|
|
## Later
|
|
|
|
- **Power-off fix in the live session.** Without it the Steam Machine starts
|
|
again right after shutting down from the live ISO. Build
|
|
`steamify-fremont-poweroff.ko` in `steamify-prepare.sh` against the headers
|
|
of the ISO's kernel, put it in `airootfs/usr/lib/modules/<version>/extra`
|
|
and run depmod (small); or ship DKMS packages from a local repo (~250 MB of
|
|
headers on the ISO). Later maybe the CEC and LED drivers the same way.
|
|
- **Vapor theme in the live session.** Add `cachyos-vapor` to
|
|
`packages_desktop.x86_64` and set it as the live user's look and feel in
|
|
`airootfs/etc/skel` (kdeglobals `LookAndFeelPackage`, no layout file, so
|
|
Plasma lays out Vapor at the live login).
|
|
- **Steamify wizard pages in the installer**, before anything is installed:
|
|
the same choices as Steamify's menu (conversion, boot into gamescope or
|
|
desktop, theme, Deck icons, single user, shortcut + non-Steam game,
|
|
notifications, VRAM booster, HDMI-CEC, Steam Machine support + power-off
|
|
fix), defaults ticked like a first run. A Calamares page (netinstall-style
|
|
YAML or a QML module in the `show` sequence) stores the ticked ids in
|
|
global storage; `steamify-install` passes them to
|
|
`steamify.sh --backend apply <ids>` (`--boot gamescope|desktop`) instead of
|
|
`--defaults`.
|
|
- **Branding**: name the ISO file and live session "Steam Machine CachyOS"
|
|
(not plain `cachyos-*.iso`); check with the CachyOS team.
|
|
- **Release**: a CI job that builds the ISO (privileged container, flags from
|
|
the steam-machine-iso skill) and hosts it (>2 GB, not a GitHub release asset).
|
|
- **Drop the Boost 1.91 workaround** in `steamify-prepare.sh` once
|
|
`cachyos-calamares-next` is rebuilt against the repos' Boost.
|
