Tinkering with some #VR gaming and was able to get it working with my #Debian mini PC by just pulling an updated version of mesa from the stable backports repo. But, it didn't work on #ChimeraOS, which hasn't seen an update since last June. So I've converted the new #gaming PC to #Bazzite and streaming VR games wirelessly to my Meta Quest 2 headset with the Steam Link app seems to work fine. It's a little flaky at times, but seems to work best in desktop mode.

Figured out a fix for a minor issue I was having with #ChimeraOS on the new #gaming PC.

I'll have a shorts version up in a bit and will post it in a comment in case you're on a phone or tablet.

SteamOS/ChimeraOS Color Banding Fix

The build list for the #gaming PC I just built for myself the other day, and what I paid for it at #Microcenter. A lot cheaper than I thought, though still considerably more expensive than the last system I built. The last time I built a system AMD still used PGA CPUs instead of LGA. It has done great though with #ChimeraOS and will make an excellent 1080p living room gaming machine, 🙂

Built my own #SteamMachine with #ChimeraOS today. More expensive than the last time I built a #gaming PC, but not too bad since #Microcenter had bundles with the 7800X3D, motherboard and 32GB of RAM for like $500.

I may have to move it or do some modifications to our entertainment center, depends on how thermals act under a gaming load.

Lesson learned: #SteamOS probably won't boot on any commercially made PC, because it's going to hate the ESP partition.

My HexBox is an HP 😭
#ChimeraOS it is.

Over Christmas I started looking into the emulator options available in #ChimeraOS and they work really well.
Managed to play Burnout 3: Takedown with the #PS2 emulator. IMHO the best installment of the #Burnout series.
