steamify-app.tar.gz (ui/, steamify.sh, lib/, icon) and its launcher
steamify-app.sh in every release: it installs to ~/.local/share/steamify/app,
installs PySide6 if needed, adds a launcher entry and starts the app.
STEAMIFY_BRANCH=<branch> runs a branch before it's released.
bios_enable split into bios_prepare (download, checksum, fwupd check) and
bios_flash; the terminal flow is unchanged. The app: check, warning 1,
warning 2 (type UPDATE, or hold A/OK for 5 seconds), flash, restart.
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.
Valve's empty, password-less wallet, like SteamOS. The user's wallet is
moved aside and restored when single user mode is off; the single user
wallet is kept and reused next time.
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.
- Menu row "Boot into: [gamescope] / desktop" under the conversion; gamescope is the default.
- Desktop: steamify-boot-desktop.service sets the autologin session to Plasma at every boot, before the login manager; switching back and forth keeps working.
- VERSION 0.10.0.
When a restart is needed, q asks with yes as the default; n goes back to the menu and the next q asks again. Ctrl+C quits without restarting; scripted input that runs out never restarts.
The DKMS override was written to /etc/dkms before dkms was installed, when that folder doesn't exist yet: the write failed silently and other kernels (e.g. LTS) built against the running one and failed. Create the folder first and stop on a failed write. VERSION 0.9.1.
- 10-second countdown after the wizard ends (Enter closes right away); after an error it waits for Enter.
- pipefail, so a failed download counts as an error.
- setup-gamescope-boot.sh renamed to steamify.sh; all references updated.
- Releases publish the bundle as steamify.sh and, for older install commands, setup-gamescope-boot.sh.
- The Steamify shortcut runs steamify.sh.
All URLs point to github.com/theupriser/steamify-cachyos (the old ones redirect). The script and internal names (state dir, shortcut files) keep their names so old download URLs and existing installs keep working.
- Menu item: desktop icon + launcher entry that run the newest release in Konsole.
- Icon: Valve's return icon with a gear (assets/steam-gaming-settings.svg), published with each release.
- Desktop files are written already executable, so Plasma runs them.
- VERSION 0.9.0.
