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 item's switch becomes a Set up / Manage button. Manage lists the
saved displays, removes one with its Remove button, and sets up the
connected display when it has no saved rates.
Rates are saved per display (EDID ID) and loaded by the hotplug script
for whichever display is connected. The item is on only while the
connected display is boosted; unticking removes just that one. The app
lists the saved displays and removes any of them (hdmi-forget).
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.
Set up… opens a screen with the display, its resolution and the rates on
offer. The display's own faster mode is switched to right away; the other
rates can each be tried live (wait for the picture, keep within 15 s or it
switches back) and ticked; Install installs the ticked ones through
apply --hdmi. All rates are loaded when the screen opens, so a try is only a
mode switch. Also fixes switching back to a rate like 59.97 Hz.
The app gets its texts and the same rules as the menu: unticking Steam
Machine support or the kernel pin unticks it. It can't be turned on from
the app, as each step needs someone at the keyboard to confirm the picture.
Both are sub-options of Steam Machine support now, shown only while it is
ticked. Unticking it unticks them; unticking the kernel pin unticks the
HDMI refresh boost, which only works with the pinned kernel.
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).
