feat: "Gaming on NVIDIA" replaces the SteamOS conversion on NVIDIA PCs
...
gamescope's gaming mode shows a corrupted picture on NVIDIA (NVIDIA bug 5240452), also nested in KDE and in a KWin-only
session. With an NVIDIA GPU the conversion (gaming, boot, single, glyphs) is hidden unless already on, and nvidia takes its
place: Steam installed when missing and started at login on the Plasma desktop (user unit), with the sub-option bigpicture
for Big Picture or the normal window. The kernel parameters and early NVIDIA modules (RTX 20 series or newer) are kept as
part of it. tests/nvidia-test.sh covers the component and the menu rules against a fake GPU.

fix: NVIDIA fix on Limine edits the existing cmdline line; early modules only when every kernel has them
...
Found by running it in a VM: the appended += line became literal text on the
kernel command line, and a kernel without the modules made limine-mkinitcpio
skip its boot entry.

feat: Power-off fix as its own sub-option, drop the kernel pin, feature versions
...
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.

feat: Power-off fix for the Steam Machine; the kernel pin is optional
...
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.

feat: HDMI refresh boost per display, with a Saved displays screen
...
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.
