systemctl --user goes through user_systemctl, which only changes unit files
without a session; the theme lets Plasma build Vapor's layout at the first
login when the layout is still /etc/skel's; a one-time first-login autostart
sets up single user's launcher and opens the app.
The power-off fix becomes an opt-out sub-option of Steam Machine
support. The kernel pin is no longer offered: an existing pin (and HDMI
refresh boost, which needs it) is unticked so a normal run removes it.
Components record a feature version on each successful run; installs
with an older version are ticked and updated, and new default
sub-options are ticked where their parent is on.
Kernels >= 7.2 keep the firmware's S4/S5 wake bit on GPIO pin 18, so the
Steam Machine starts again right after powering off. Steam Machine
support now builds a DKMS module (patches/steamify-fremont-poweroff.c)
that clears it before power-off, for every kernel. The kernel pin is no
longer ticked by default. Module sources and patches move to patches/,
embedded by the single-file build.
The EDID override moves off the kernel command line to a hotplug script
(boot unit + udev rule) that loads it only while the display it was
tested on is connected, identified over DDC; other displays get their
own EDID.
Steamify CachyOS on the desktop and in the launcher starts the newest app
(in Konsole the first time, while PySide6 still has to be installed); the
terminal menu is Steamify Terminal in the launcher. A shortcut from before
2.0.1 is ticked in the menu, so a normal run replaces it. steamify-app.sh
leaves the shortcut's launcher entry (same id) alone.
The pinned 7.1.6 kernel doesn't read the extra EDID block (HDMI Forum
EEODB) where monitors list their fast modes, and does no HDMI 2.1, so HDMI
displays often stay at 60 Hz. The new menu item reads the display's EDID
over DDC, calculates the highest rate that fits HDMI 2.0 at the desktop
resolution (rounded down to ten, plus the hundred below as a safe option),
tests each step live with a confirmation, and makes the confirmed ones
permanent through drm.edid_firmware (Limine, sdboot-manage or GRUB).
ui/steamify-ui (PySide6 + QML): menu, review, password, applying and done
screens from the design, scaled to the window. Controller via evdev,
keyboard, TV remote (cecd). steamify.sh --backend status|apply (lib/backend.sh)
drives the same components; sudo asks through an askpass helper.
HDMI-CEC runs before Steam Machine support, which installs steamos-manager,
so its configure-cecd unit couldn't be enabled. Link them from Steam Machine
support too.
With the kernel pin ticked, install 7.1.6-1 before the LED driver, so DKMS
builds it once. steamos-manager checks for cecd only at its start: order it
after cecd.
Sub-option of Steam Machine support, ticked along with it: newer CachyOS
kernels make the Steam Machine reboot instead of shutting down. Packages
are kept in /var/cache/steamify/kernel and reinstalled from there; else
pacman's cache, the CachyOS archive or mirror, or PINNED_KERNEL_URL.
"boot into: gamescope (from the next boot)" instead of "turn off: Boot into the desktop instead of gaming mode"; also in the progress line and the Done overview.
