Installing Bazzite on Complex Hardware Setup

all right in this stream it's actually a continuation of the last stream we're actually going to install bite on my main desktop so let's see how it does I've been talking on B bite for a while I absolutely love it we're getting it done here we go bite we're going to just toss this on the ventoy drive so right now now if we go into our downloads we've already downloaded basite stable I'm going to put this in ventoy and then we have basite deck stable and then regular bite stable perfect crash number whatever now I don't anticipate this to work very well I have a ton of different Hardware in here I rarely have a distribution able to install on this system and you might be thinking why Titus what's going what's so special about your system why is it the way it is well let's just show you PSE sudo lsblk you'll notice I have a few hard drives in here some rated some just four regular ssds hanging out we got a couple nvme drives in there too we just got a little bit of everything and then also on top of that you look at the Neo fetch we also have a couple gpus as well we got an Nvidia we got a 7800 XT you know a few different things are going on all on a Zeon system with 64 gigs of RAM this is not a normal desktop system I anticipate this to go horribly wrong and this installer to bomb but I kind of want to just try it because I've talked up bite and I'm almost a little disappointed because the last one we did it just worked so well that I kind of feel bad I feel like I've let you down in the audience that says hey Titus we demand you to break it and if there's one thing I am exceedingly good at it is breaking things so let's break bite today the unbreakable immutable Dro let's explode it I feel bad but it must be done uh actually I think I'm going to do a power off because I added a new SSD a 500 gig s SSD Samsung Evo I think it was like a 940 or maybe it was an 850 all right let's do it I think I might know one person that's better at breaking Linux dros do as I say do as I say [Music] H I highly recommend you read the documentation kakari you should know by now I'm not going to read the documentation all right uh having said that I can't remember was it Escape H did I get it I don't think I got it in time yeah this is a server based system so like the BIOS is just ridiculously long for uh uh the boot up I can't remember how to I forget the BIOS key oh you know what I think this one was a one I needed like a hardwired keyboard it doesn't like my digma all right all right let's try to reboot this one more time re ribit reboot PSE sudo okay there it goes uh this is a piece of crap razor sinos light garbage keyboard don't buy razor products all right here we go I want to say it's Escape or F2 it might be delete no it's not delete I don't think hey we've all bought razor products no judgment here there we go it's Escape you know this is protected by wolf security watch out the HP wolf is protecting me bite your freaking head off man all right what do we got let's boot to uh this one there we go I think we're good let's go bazy stable we're good portal down let's get it yeah that Nvidia one let's see how we how we Faire I may have already broke it like I said I have a really weird setup and most Lynx dros really don't like like I think when we installed Arch I did it all manually because the arch installer broke Arch installer is like I have no idea what what is up with this guy he's got a weird system and it just like broke and I was like okay I guess I'll I'll redo it let's see what's happening maybe starting installer if it can even start the installer that's already ahead of some dros we have a gray screen and I think we just let it cook what's so unique that installers won't run well Loop TJ I think it's the fact we have let me let me count how many hard drives we have two nvme drives four standard SSD drives two 3 tbte spinning platters and a rated one thing and I want to say there's something else but I can't remember right now anyways it's a lot of drives that this thing's having to read and most most systems just aren't set up to deal with that and then on top of that we have two gpus which one being Invidia really makes this difficult Nvidia just makes installing Linux much more difficult than it really needs to be so if you're wanting to go like full-time Linux buying an MD GPU is going to save you a lot of Heartache I don't plan to use the Nvidia card in Linux itself I plan on using the 7800 XT for almost everything so we'll see how this goes like all my stuff's plugged up to the AMD card I'm going to go ahead and say I don't think this worked uh all right first first go around bombed out on us about par for the course for Linux dros uh let's go control alt delete let's try to do control alt delete nope nope nope nope nope nope all right well here we go yeah I use the desktop ISO stub the Nvidia card then rebase the deck image if you want gamescope yeah might do that let's see if we can't maybe catch the grub menu I think we might be able to do maybe a no mod set and hopefully get by if we can just get by and then disable the Nvidia GPU we can do that probably an easier way than doing all that is just simply unplug the Nvidia GPU just pull it out I know that sounds like blasphemy but I mean we could just it's easier honestly to remove the hardware than it is to work around it software-wise so let's give it one more one more try from uh perspective and then if it still bombs out on us we'll just remove the Nvidia card and then if it doesn't work from the Nvidia card well then we'll just try something else so we'll just go deck stable let's boot normal but so we have that if we go trouble shooting let's try to install it in basic Graphics mode I don't know what that option is but it sounds promising I was kind of hoping for just a traditional grub menu where we can just hit e and then use like an emac to change the no mode set that usually bypasses a lot of the Nvidia problems but I don't know this does seem like it's working faster with basic Graphics here we go go starting installer we got our gray screen we're a little bit further all right I'm not going to get too excited because there's still lots and lots to do so let's just go install uh we're going to pick our 500 Drive cool let's uh free up some space we're going to go automatic for the configuration on this guy so uh we'll try not to delete my entire system I say try not to because I'm kind of known for deleting my entire system for better or worse sometimes I just pick the wrong thing and I'm like oh well we're just going to delete reclaim all that space perfect root account we're just going to keep it disabled user creation we're going to go titus4 bam super secure password and bam begin install are we ready nice we're ready I think this one's going to work fantastic sorry to Blind you guys but there is no dark mode for Fedora installs this is this isn't the deck ISO this is the desktop ISO so I think we might be able to get by if we can get in and do the vfio PCI that'd be pretty cool but I don't know maybe we could stop it we could also boot into like do like a c rout into an artificial environment and then stub the graphics card that way maybe yeah well I think this is really interesting though I know this sounds like kind of crazy installing an immutable drro for a tinker like me but I I I want to see how strong this Dro is from a gaming perspective because like I said as when I started this stream up I was just over the moon with how well bite worked and how almost every game I went to play just ran flawlessly without any tinkering that's kind of insane da switch to the other side you're a dirty twitch user user now be interesting but I mean immutable dros are the future for normal users that's the thing that I think a lot of Linux users miss most users don't want to be messing around with their system they just want to press the power button and then do it you know have the computer do exactly what it wants and a mutable distros are a fantastic enduser experience because it's so replicatable and everything works right out of the gate and it will continue working because there's nothing you can do to break it and that's the beauty behind something like this now having said that what are the odds of this actually making it all the way through to the end I don't know I mean maybe 30% I really like Nicks I actually did a video on Nicks uh moose uh on the main Channel I really really dig NYX OS it it's a lot of fun there's actually a really cool I think there's a fork it wasn't a fork of basite but very much like bite it's a NX OS spin of Steam OS and when I started the stream I think I had it up I can't remember it but the bite team actually credited him with some stuff I can't remember the the project name right off the top of hand it was something something Nick nixo jort or something like that I can't remember no not nabara nabara is something different they obviously use some of aor stuff off of it as well but n this was something different Jovian Jovian Nick that's what it was yeah thank you hiari Joy and nicks was really interesting I was like oh I might try that out that sounds like a fun fun deal would you consider open soua uh Niche yeah I think open sou is pretty Niche although I really liked my time with open soua we tried it out and I did a mainly daily driver I think I only did it on Twitch uh back then and everything worked pretty good I really liked the open build service for open Souza reminded me of the a in Arch so open Su is kind of Niche but there's a lot of promise there as well yeah void Linux is get in this niche as well I agree with that hunt sunrise change the steam title ah crap can I no does this work all right one second okay uh no no oh all right I got one thing working just need this other keyboard hey it's still installing we got progress I thought it already bombed out that shows what I know all right uh I needed to fix a few things here one second someone mentioned I needed to change oh let's see all right and I need to change the title all right we're going to install bite on my main system done all right cool I fixed it and it's still installing still churning in what are the odds what are the odds can we make it all the way to the end I think so everything in bite in Universal blue does doeses is extremely experimental the RPM OS tree which is used in the background does not have progress updates hence the jump and progress percentages from nothing to almost done so you're saying it works like a Windows progress bar I got you hiari we're good I'm used to that I'm used to just sitting here staring at 133% and then all of a sudden 53% actually this is still better than than Windows progress bars so I'm like oh there's nothing wrong with this and C's like it's extremely experimental you might be right but us Windows users we're conditioned not to pay attention to to the the progress bars how many cores does the machine have was it uh I think it was 32 cores this a Zeon so there's no there ain't no half cars or efficiency cores here we're all full cores all the way and I think actually now I think about it is I think it was only 16 cores 32 threads 16 cores what's wuntu a some weird Ubuntu clone ain't nobody installing wuntu oh the era of the many many Ubuntu clones is coming to a close and the Linux realm not very many people are going to be using Ubuntu or Forks of Ubuntu for very much longer it's still a thing but it's on its last legs mark my words ubun is still used in the server realm but they've had so many missteps with SNAP packs and the the distribution itself just runs like a turd like any other dist is pretty much better so most things have actually given up hell like Linux mint's pretty much moved on to lmd for a lot of things so I I don't see much happening in the way of Ubuntu or buntu esque spins most people are like all right uh obviously Ubuntu is not going to be carrying the torch anymore pushing desktop Linux ahead it's going to be other stuff debian's really picked up that mantle and I think debian's really shifted to doing a lot more main mainstream stuff so you know I see that and honestly as much as I like to talk crap on red hat and Fedora for you know kind of collateral damage from red hat but there's really interesting things happening in the Fedora ecosystem it's not lost on me I just don't like covering it on the main Channel just because it's redhead based a little bias of mine but having said that Fedora is still a very good drro I didn't say that though I still say Arch and Arch and Debian are still really really cool uh I'm just love Fedora and a lot of the immutable dros coming from this type of spin zor OS zor's good zor's a solid one it's good newbie friendly distra yeah the one thing I hate about Fedora installs too is it likes to make like three partitions it's kind of weird how it chops up and carves up the boot partitions like it makes like an EFI and a boot partition which kind of always bothers me it does bother me I just don't like that and Debian has just been so good lately I agree with that Ben I just couldn't get time shift to work with uh better FS on Debian uh probably the big thing there have been if you're having problems with time shift you might look at the labeling if you label your partitions a certain way time shift really likes your home partition labeled with an at home and then your root partition has to be labeled uh I want to say with just an at symbol itself so time shift can be real finicky in that regard it does at least I remember when I was getting better FS to work it was really particular with how you created things and also how you labeled your partitions and I think I had to manually do the sub volumes as well and label those sub volumes uh so you might look that up and you can get it working I'm sure I've I've used time shift multiple times with Debian all right I think we're good so now we have that let's see what we get yeah there's also back in time if you guys use back in time that's another good uh backup system for uh Linux is soless pointless I wouldn't say soless is pointless sess is unique at least they're trying something new and they're rolling their own stuff it's not just a fork of a fork so I I you know as much as I'm not you know soless isn't for me but at least they're trying something and they're not just grabbing a a Debian and adding a few packages to it they're doing something unique that's the thing that's the thing I like about Linux dis that do something different from everybody else that's that's where the magic happens too many people when I started like covering Linux and going into it I would look at so many dros where I'd be like okay well it's based on deian like everything else and there's a new wallpaper oh they added a couple packages oh they changed this they added a firmware they it was all just like really basic stuff where I was like this really didn't need a it didn't need a new Dro you could have just put this in a bash script and just said run this after installing Debian and you'd have it and that was 80% of all dros in existence honestly could just be a bash script on the main drro probably 90% actually oh yeah let's go bite all right here we go bite on the main system let's see what we get all right enter did that reenable secure boot I just realized oh well we'll see cheap dros are pretty common because noobs Can't customize their system they tend to change the whole drro I agree with that yeah I think that's a a very good point I would love for us to get to a community where that's no longer a thing and then just the bass dros have good outof the Box settings and honestly debian's really moved that way in recent years I remember Debian used to be just a nightmare for a noob to install and use oh the M manager opens on first boot every time okay well I don't think it'll do it this next round hopefully crap well yeah we're probably going to have to go no mode set I think well oh wait wait I think it was just rebooting is it going to take me to Arch or basite I think probably basite let's see usually when a new system gets installed they ohly crap oh no I think Fedora went ahead and grabbed my EFI partition from the uh Arch instance that's going to be a fun one to undo oh well yeah it's okay challenge accepted borone moment it just decided to take over the old EFI was like hey yeah I see an EFI partition over here like a playbook out of Windows there well at least it didn't wipe out the EFI partition so we got that going for it red hat Revenge oh man it's probably HP wolf wolf security waiting for my sponsor ship just kidding don't don't no don't send me an email I'm joking I like poking fun at the HP wolf security every time my computer starts up all right we have a desktop let's log in maybe well uh it's in dark mode chat should be happy just got give a minute it's booting up damn I can't believe that worked really all right the best best Linux system in the world is bite everyone you need to uninstall what you have and just use bite it's the truth I need srcp copy woing keyboards what's a woing keyboard not not up with the hip standards of today all right fix steam download speed install game mode startup video sure and uhhuh yeah okay install yeah just remember it uh well that was odd oh it's an analog mechanical keyboard okay yeah yeah finally got my hands on bite I gotta say I really really like it now having said that the desktop is a little bit on the slow side I think there's something happening in the background we need to look at it's trying to do a whole bunch of stuff that I'm kind of curious about there's a war between console and windows Gamers console users say that Windows is difficult and full of problems well it is I wonder what would happen if one of those saw the Linux terminal so here's the thing bite kind of fixes all that it should just work and it's immutable and you just load up games and go that's the whole point of bite now having said that I have kind of a unique system here now we did do it on a Mini PC first what was it uh last week and just everything worked right out of the gate kind of amazing uh let's drop to a TTY let's see can we drop to TTY yes let's try all all right so we got TTY here let's see you just so we got youjust let's try youjust update um what about let's see if we can set the terminal oh set font command not found really ah there's no D package either of course set font's not there really really lame eh all right let's just try you just update and see what happens you are late how's it going Peter send a notification VI your website yeah I know I need to do something I'll get I'll get it I'll get something set up yeah we need to install drro box too get the the GPU stubbed might solve a b bunch of weird options you just set up virtualization okay let's try that next uh do you want yes why not just Docker instead of dro box do it directly I don't know we'll try it out um let's quit that we're going to go youjust set up uh [Music] virtualization all right we're going to enable virtualization all right we we'll just walk through each one of these we'll enable virtualization first I'm kind of curious here do you have heard about a new update in Windows it's it's a force update because now you will not be able to download executable files now I'm pretty sure you can still download executable files as as silly as Microsoft is sometimes I doubt that that's a thing the I'm on the dev channel of Windows and I usually grab all the stuff just so I can roast Microsoft with every update I mean it's it's fun and it's great content for me but sadly that's not a thing I would love for that to be a thing if they blocked executables oh my God think of the views think of the views it would be so crazy so I mean I really hope that does happen but yeah know Microsoft's not that [Music] stupid no that's not a thing bro they wouldn't do that I have I have a lot of faith in their incompetence but that's almost a bridge too far even for them that would be a great YouTube video though ah well yeah so like you got to know oh excuse me the business realm is really where Microsoft excels especially Windows it just controls a lot of the businesses out there and having them block executables would cause all kinds of Havoc for all kinds of line of business applications like I said it's just it's not a thing I I mean don't get me wrong I I wish it happened that would been hilarious but no the world will always make a be better idiot yeah well you know uh can't run a virus if you don't if you don't download [Laughter] it Force everybody to use a Microsoft store that would be hilarious publish a video on cresus Deck about bite uh lots of people don't attend streams well you're in luck the bazide video drops tomorrow on Chris Titus Tech you saw it here first but if you don't want to watch a three-hour long live stream I get it tomorrow 10 minute succinct concise to the point Bazi YouTube video that will blow your mind Chris Titus Tech 8:15 central time tomorrow be there or B Square having said that damn the virtualization is really grabbing a bunch of stuff it's kind of cool digging it best an virus is not being boneheaded yeah Pro Master I've been here for 3 hours WTF has it been 3 hours oh crap yeah the stream time is 3 hours we've been on uh bite for about 40 minutes uh for you Peter that would be you're about 7 hours ahead of me so it' probably be about 1:15 in the morning I expect you to wake up and watch that video the Netherlands I think runs about 7 hours you're you're really close to uh what is it GMT time right have you ever heard of vanilla OS yeah that's another uh immutable drro I need to take a deeper dive on vanilla OS it is very interesting very very new though it is layering packages this process is always slow essentially the same as dnf install whatever okay but then it has to be relay layered which is automatic okay you're 6 hours from East so yeah yeah you are 7 hours I'm Central so East uh eastern Time or EST is 1 hour ahead of me so Central Time 7 hours look at that nailed it central time is the best time zone if we could only get rid of daylight savings time and my life would be complete all right we're getting close here just installing is basically grabbing all the qmu packages vert manager and it looks like it's grabbing even ZFS fuse which is nice so it does look like a qmu full install on the virtualization setup which is good because I do need a lot of the full packages windows and S Mode yeah S Mode and windows is a joke even on like the really crappy notebooks that come with the S Mode enabled just disable it and use my dblo script it'll honestly run better without S Mode and uh probably go into settings and disable background apps as well that's a a setting I don't touch mainly because a lot of people like multiple apps running in the background it doesn't matter but if you're got a lowend laptop background apps can cause some issues so yeah might do that I use poos personally but nothing particularly special about it there you know popos it's been a while been since I tried poos I need to take a look at it again whenever Cosmic comes out I'm going to install popos that'll be fun all right nice all right we enabled virtualization now we add Titus to the vert d uh group livert does not exist oh bummer okay let's just enable vifo drivers okay vert manager is already requested uh I think I have to reboot after reboot enable Okay let's just reboot all right back to the wolf why did lonus wipe the whole system trying to install Steam on popos this wasn't necessarily Linus's fault I know lonus gets so much crap for this much like you know him dropping stuff but it was actually a bug in apt which apt is the package manager for Papo and steam or or or system 76 did a custom patch to apt and they screwed something up to where if you hadn't updated your system and you went to install Steam it would uninstall xorg at the time so it's a bug and if you uninstall your display render in Linux you can't display anything because your render is missing so so he he literally when he did app install Steam it removed the entire desktop environment for him so as much as crap as lonus gets and I like to say do as I say because it said hey it warned him on the screen like hey you're about to wipe out your entire display render and get rid of your entire desktop environment are you sure you want to do this and lios was like yes do as I say enter so that's why he gets so much crap because it did ask him that question phrased exactly in that way however he's not completely default here because in no way shape or form should a pseudo app to install steam cause you to uninstall your display renderer and your desktop environment so yes he failed at reading but we've all been there I know I've failed at reading many times and done stupid things but it in the end it was just a bug so for me yeah I mean lonus is it was a good emulation of what a normal person would do you know just pick up anybody off the street and say use Linux and I think he he gave a good representation of a normal user grabbing an installing Linux for the first time there were some things he did I was just like oh my word why but at the end of the day he was emulating a normal person and I get that comprehensive reading is tough don't I know it I always have people screaming at me in the Stream going Titus read read my chat like I know I know but a lot of times I miss most of chat all right here we go let's set up virtualization before this gets too crazy can we do like pseudo or I think we can just do you just uh setup virtualization ation I really want to get virtualization done all right that's perfect set up virtualization all right so we've added it to the user now we enable the drivers uh okay I'm just going to go through each one of these Okay so we've installed all that we've enabled the virtualization um if we do like a neop patch what do we have we still have the GPU here and we have lspci let's do a LS PCI knnn let's take a peek what is here we just enhance let's take a peek at our uh Nvidia situation we have going on here uh looks like 75 is what we need to do we are using the novu drivers all this needs to be stubbed out so this should be vfio uh in the perfect world uh I don't know if we can do that uh the ujust driver should like PSE sudo you just set up virtualization I was really hoping that I can just come down here and go enable vfio and then it do it but I think we have to do something else as well I also kind of want to enable my Steam account here here crap I want to try steam real fast and start getting a game loaded up too I mean this is working a lot better though from from the first install and we've already updated it elen ring man I'm looking forward to that DLC too by the way uh I think the temp file might not be made okay yeah my lspci output is kind of insane I have uh nine pcie slots in this Beast so eh all right it says I need to read man I don't we already talked about how bad I am at reading oh geez all right let's add that all right remember my password Do It show the console all right next AMD editions lact yeah sure install it feels like it's working pretty good I am going to need to grab my two-factor to grab go into uh uh get into here yeah get into my steam nine gpus oh no well the problem with nine PCA PCI slots is you're always going to have them stacked and modern gpus are so fat and just chunky that they take up too many damn pcie slots so if you're using multiple gpus it kind of sucks because you're like okay well I can't use these slots anymore after I put my GPU in so that's kind of a downside but I do have a good good range of motion there with that uh lspc output you can see quite a bit all right while this is going I'm going to go grab my phone real fast so we can sign into steam one second be right back all right got the phone we're going to do some login action here oh all right we're still doing the AMD good stuff now I'm going to do my steam now before this time I learned from the last stream chat cannot be trusted and I know better this time yeah QR scanners at the ready oh oh okay thank you Hikari I totally missed it and I ignored it of course I did sounds like something I would do not trusting chat okay uh is Steam not launching let's see interesting oh there he goes one second it's still installing steam run time uh 64 gigs of RAM is what I'm rocking so far all right got this QR code sign in loading data all right should be safe now and Hell divers was uh bombing out on me so I'm going to just toss that in here start loading up hell divers I want to try it because it did not work on my main system all righty AMD is good uh additional web browsers to complement Firefox okay rock and stone emulation stream into the internet okay yeah yeah bow account I love all these help tips there we go um you don't have prop drivers yeah I don't have any proprietary drivers so let's just go install all right sweet that's looking good if we look up here let's just go virtualization setup again now darari oh no it didn't say anything there okay so it must have been crap let's see what was it did it show okay just enable uhhuh you just okay so we did that was there something I missed here let's see that being a problem H I guess it didn't spit out that I'll have to look up in chatari interesting yeah if you look virtualization setup uhhuh and then we did that but I don't see please open it yeah nothing there I don't see any uh I'll have to look up in chat what you you typed in well it's LS uh drat let's go LS see draut comp. D nothing's there so we got nothing there how's this going all right almost all all done thank you for trying bite done Neo fetch so we have that I would like to just stub out that Nvidia card because I know that Nvidia card could throw wrench in things for us I really don't want to be using that pretty decent download speeds look at that 900 megabits per second I mean that's frankly I'm almost worried it's choking out my internet connection for you [Laughter] guys that's uh that's kind of nice okay yeah my 7800 XT I might actually switch out for for something inside okay let's try that we got you just Das Das show setup virtualization all right then we got that what do we have so this is the script for enabling libert D I think that did happen and then when it gets to the vfio it adds this huh oh that's cool it shows the source of the command with the dash Das show I guess we could just manually do all this right uh this is the I wonder how we can check to see if the RPM os3 kernel arguments is in or not uh so you okay here we go here it is so we could just go here bam and then if we look up lspci output um oh jeez I I want to kind of clean that up a little bit uh we're just going to let's just cancel that let's go lspci and this time we're going to just grap 75 colon all right uh let's do a little bit more I need to grab the ID so let's do a dash KNN all right nah that's what we need so now we can grab the vfi IDS simple I think it's just commas to separate these right yeah we're missing the dra too so that portion of the script does okay huh darn it all righty so something like that should enable that so we got our double code at the end but we're also missing the rest of this as well hm so so for enabling the vfio drivers you know we could create our own bash script for this enable space virtualization blah blah blah enabling vert manager we've already done all that grab that so vfi off then check to see if we're running I think we grab all of this yeah okay yeah that right there I think we can copy that to clipboard we'll just make it our own bash script using hikari's work here yeah I think we can I think we can just do it and then that way we can run it this like I said bite's only I think on version two right now and Hell divers is already installed holy crap that was fast dude I don't know I mean this could be my new drro God I get roasted Ah hell you guys already know I was going to probably switch anyways don't think he's using prox MOX anymore might later that's true wait a couple hours it could happen oh did I install Opera I did why is opera on there oh no that's terrible oh let's remove it that's hilarious okay yeah that's gone no [Laughter] the the other browsers I checked oh my gosh I did not see that yeah wow Opera gross did I did I have it to I thought I was just going to install like other like useful browsers not just garbage but here we are oh there's Brave Brave's not bad got Vivaldi Libre wolf Microsoft Edge Let's Go On on over there Edge what I mean honestly that could make for a good YouTube video I'll troll you guys later on that one all right like it all right uh let's just I'm bored let's let's add Vim uh PCI pass. sh let's go b bash I think that should be good I like it uh as far as opium os3 kgs oh am I missing I think that's actually no no no I think that's fine I don't see any declared variables I think it'll be okay I think that'll work for Stalone so let's just go CH mod let's make that executable and then let's go pseudo PCI pass it's true we're almost there and I'm about to get done with dinner oh crap I'm doing a build on the other side oops cancel cancel cancel transaction oh okay okay we're good I was like uhoh all right now now we're going to do it so now we have our scripts we have our vfio in an immutable file system this is working a little too well I'm disappointed yes there was a little bit of a bug with the pass through but it's pass through it's like hey if you're doing vfio pass through you should just anticipate lots and lots of [Laughter] pain okay cool stuff all right let's try and play hell divers 2 after this is done and I think we should be okay all right we'll do one final OS commit here and I think we'll have it we'll be one of the only people in the entire world to have vfio pass through working on basite one other person that obviously has it working as well is in chat hiari we're going to be the second person why don't you just play hell ders 2 on Windows ah Windows ah gosh [Laughter] why that's too easy God Bless yeah honestly yeah when it comes to Hell divers 2o like we could have already been playing and going and everything would be just fine I just wanted to get this done because I do have a second GPU in here that I want to kind of take care of so even if I was on Windows in this regard and let's say I booted in Windows we'd have all kinds of issues because of all the stuff in this system so I kind of have to kind of get it all kind of squared away before we just jump into it on a normal system though we'd already be playing we would already be going going to town playing playing away all right now we got LCT changes on next boot we should be fine make sure you enable IO mmu vtd in your bios please understand that since this is such new Niche use case support will be very limited agreed to add your unused second GPU device IDs to your vfi drivers running this we already did that we shouldn't have to do it again no maybe we do do it again we did it once though right oh you might need to redo the oh well let's just see all right so we have exited that we go back through here was our last commit I'm just GNA ahead and run this again this right here is my drivers for the vfio okay there's no changes so it's there all right let's reboot and then let's see what drivers we're going to using hopefully our Nvidia stuff will be stubbed if the Nvidia stuff stubbed we could honestly set up Windows and all that we're not going to do that today we'll probably do like a micro wind install I've been mean to mess around with that but I do want to look to see what the performance is like on probably like cyberp Punk hell divers 2 would be kind of interesting as well yeah we'll see but the first system on Arch hell divers 2 doesn't work at all so that's why I'm kind of like I'm curious to see if we run into the same in protect error that we had at the very very beginning of this whole whole thing okay might have to do a RPS os3 init RAM and then track the vf.com okay well let's see we'll do a lspci or lspci uh knnn and let's see what driver this thing's rolling HP wolf security I'm I'm secured by the wolf watch out it's the most secure wolf security out there all right well oh boy well we'll see all righty let's go time I need to set up Auto login okay launching in to steam let's pull up our terminal well we can put this down and we're going to go LS PCI knnn and we're just going to go up to 75 in the terminal let's see what we got does not look like it's stubbed properly so we're going to have to do the init Ram to get this done sad face all right well uh let's let's try that in Ram system from earlier that Hikari mentioned should be fine uh are we yeah this is whand so all righty let's stub that out all right here we go let's try this let's go RPM Dash os3 init Ram fs- Etc Dash Dash Track equals and Etc dra cut. comp. dvf.com all right let's try it out the new changes are going into play this is what we did we are on basite right now old bite all right checking out this running post install scripts I want to just try hell divers right now even though right now the Nvidia card is not properly stubbed we could also probably do like a Dr Prime and then specify the GPU card if like let's say it grabs the wrong GPU that might work as well we'll see H the downside di mutable though is longer update times that's one of the downsides but how often are you really going to update once you get everything working maybe once a month and then just be like ah I'll get it I'll get it next week so it's not really that big of a deal any minute now any minute just right in that OS tree commit just waiting yeah once a week if you're an update freak yeah once a week's not bad dog philosopher updates are enabled by default so you need to reboot once a month realistically yeah probably yeah I'm usually about once a week kind of guy on my updates okay well it's a great name dog philosopher yeah we really haven't had anything break break I mean yeah the vfio script not working but I mean it wasn't like a show stopper it's just like ah okay my secondary GPU card is not stubbed properly big deal I could just remove the GPU card it's not it's not like a make or break here it it is neat being the guinea pig one of the first people to do this will it work I don't know what do you think of steam deck good or bad steam deck's amazing like I remember when it first was coming out everybody was hyping it up and I was like dude if it's anything like the Steam Machines the steam deck going to suck it's going to be awful and I was even trying to like temper expectations for folks and then the steam deck came out and of course I I got it because content and then I actually use it often and I'm like wow this is amazing how good it is and uh yeah it's been great all right reboot time so yeah steam deck I am just immensely happy with and steam has done a fantastic J job better than anything I could have imagined all right the the final final roll here we're running up into dinner time so this better work this is it this is for all the marbles I wonder if I could roll like a dwm directly into bite could we do like a modification RPM maybe like the RPM M OS tree I might have to look up how to do that that'd be kind of fun I know it's immutable and I'm not supposed to do any any of that but it's exactly where my mind goes I'm like H that that would be cool oh you missed it earlier in the Stream too Peter I meant to tell you we did uh a bunch of commits to my dwm I think we added like a posix posix I don't know how you say it a bunch of modifications speed it up a little bit should be cool would suggest making a custom image if you went dwm that badly I might yeah I'll probably do that it's a nice touch here I like that saw articles about Microsoft touch you know they've been actually messing around with the start menu ads and such for a while now Samuel I've seen that article done a couple times over the past couple years it always sits there in like a Dev or Canary build and then it never really goes anywhere makes for a good YouTube video but a lot of times it's like ah you know all right moment of truth make or break this is it for all the marbles what we've been waiting 3 hours and 52 minutes for this right here will it work will it not here here we go LS PCI i k NN go up to 75 n it didn't work well no bueno sad face okay that's okay let's launch hell divers and see if it works or we get the in protect error was this all for not I don't know okay let's let's try that we could try that all right Keon let's try it oh oh oh all right pseudo ah pseudo what do we got uh RPM OS Tree in it Ram can I get it before it runs off the screen enable ARG equals quot don't you do it chat don't you do it right there maybe that's it I feel like I missed something H okay one [Music] second all right ARG uh actually it's Das Das add okay so you have enable ARG and then we adding the argument add drivers colon and then Dash ARG equals so we're adding a couple arguments here BFI D PCI so we're just adding the D- add drivers and the D - vfio pass or PCI just like that kind of dig this uh custom terminal that they got going here this what is it called PTY XIs terminal it's kind of unique uh init Ram regeneration Etc overlay not compatible use dra arg-i instead all right well let's try Hull divers I'm want to try that messing around like I said I it was it was kind of a long shot trying for the PCI you passed through in bite but I wanted to get give it a whirl let's try hell divers too does it work or are we faced with the same error as it was in Arch let's see is it going to go in protect on us or not that is the question still installing some direct decks here it is the first time give it a minute of course it works democracy always works all right we got the Vulcan Shader compile going on looking good so far I changed up all the proton versions as well and the V Vulcan loaders and all my other games work it's just not hell divers [Music] too this is just regular bite all right the moment of truth will hell divers 2 work will it succeed where arch failed I don't know r r scoob hell divers 2 does not like my configuration the answer is no no it is not any different than my Arch install no damn it that was a waste of an hour and a half sorry all man I totally built that up oh it's something with my my Hardware is just not compatible with in protect something I'm doing with hell divers too it just does not like this oh that's hilarious wait oh what uh okay what happened okay this looks like it [Music] works did we just get faked out democracy prevails I thought it didn't work work wow buttery smooth feel that God damn don't set it to full screen okay good to know all right what do we got here let's do a quick play where are we going where are we going going I probably should look up uh how to do it I think I'm used to using a controller Miss coordinates oops all right let's just use it dirty engaging orbital thrusters all right let's see can we oh okay nice okay let's do it orbit synchronized all right is that too loud it's probably too loud huh all right well works I guess they saw me and just got scared and like nope I'm out so can we I Wonder If the regular buttons they work Destroyer coordinates received okay no you got to be in the steam deck one to access the quick menu all destroy kind of interesting join Squadron engaging orbital thrusters yeah yeah we need the gooey uh but I don't really have it well we I think it has it in uh Destroyer has joined let's see I think we can do a basic gooey wait wait wait I think it's a F1 yeah there we go uh it's behind on the chat FPS right now is about 100 FPS uh smooth the FPS is 100 yeah it's B bouncing right around 100 frame rat's looking good GPU times looking good now sorry it's not bigger guys but squint you'll be fine what about here here yeah let's see how it does I'm I'm keeping an eye on uh keeping an eye on the FPS we'll just run a quick Mission here let ready up oh yeah yeah so on the mini PC what I did because it's using an APU with ar 3 I ended up doing a 720p render this is 1080p though and obviously I haven't changed anything from the stock settings Destroyer has left Squadron launch theine yeah and this also it it you know also could have been whan in gamescope this right here is using whan in gamescope it's one thing that uh the basite team has done a fantastic job of kind of merging The Best of Both Worlds and obviously on my dwm instance I'm still using old schooled xorg go now and fear the shadow of neither death nor tyny but just let's go machine gun re down at the weapon I'm leeding out okay well uh let's see FPS steady 100 I'm just going to let my entire teammates carry this into our thing all Destroyer comat my teammate just blew it democracy has landed so is it better to install bazide alongside Windows 11 than nabara I don't know I'm thinking yeah I really like bite how about a nice cup of liverty oh this is kind of cool I can just sit here and just cheese this entire thing I am an old gezer I tell you nobara versus bazai I think nobara was the one that kind of trailblazed a lot of the benefits that bit's been able to take care of so I I don't want to like downplay glorious egg rolls nobara and how well how much it helped everything with Linux gaming but at the same time when you look at bite they've taken nabara and I just love the mutable drro spin of it it it's much more predictable than a nabara because a nabara I have broken and as you've seen on this stream I have tried to break this so much and have been completely unsuccessful the only thing I've really been unsuccessful with on this was uh ow jeez really oh that guy threw a grenade up there what an aole oh sorry bro did I did I injure you a refor that's what you get for knocking me off my little hidey hole team play oops Yeah I am the ideal for for mutable I will say this has been just a solid now my FPS has dropped a little bit since we started playing it started at like about 100 and now we're at like an 80 70 right in here there's a lot happening on the screen but we're still well above 60 so not not bad ah [Music] yeah the 2gp is definitely threw it through a loop the fact we got it all installed is pretty pretty impressive though with everything going I moving my home folder around and all that uh I may I may just try to spin this as much as I can oh jeez oh missed I don't know I I think you you can Tinker with it a little bit with the RPM os3 as well oh I can't even hit that guy ah jeez Mission at 10 minutes remaining oh what do we got here request approved reinforcements on the way yeah well I took a little break just to kind of reassess things it was good it was really good for me and honestly I've been back to producing two two main Channel videos every every 48 hours so or you know well I'd say yeah every two days I make a main Channel video now so hey that's pretty awesome and also I think my videos have actually gotten a lot better I know I've produced a lot more of them but it feels like the actual videos themselves have improved as well with the quality increase [Music] pelic one preparing to depart jut launch in 20 seconds extraction complete reboot to ARS install KD whan and the game will just work I think so ah I think the big thing with uh hell divers 2 not working for me was using xorg and not whan I bet it would have worked just fine with the whan that's the only thing that kind of makes sense to me because nothing really has changed with the hardware itself and I think that's really the the tale of the tape here I didn't even realize Cari was in here he jumped into chat with us that's awesome oh well cool this is perfect yeah I think doing the Dual stream between twitch and YouTube has also been great yeah Peter I'm kind of curious too I think I'll I think I'll try it some more but I don't know I really was shocked that this actually worked I honestly thought it was going to bomb out after the initial in protect I was like oh there we go there's the old problem I've been having with this Hardware well thank you so much aari for jumping in chat carrying this game and and also the PCI Express or the the vfio pass through assistance as well now uh I obviously carried this whole thing look at me 25 kills pretty great how many times did I get friendly fire damage 322 there's a lot of friendly fire going on oh that's funny hell di sweet all right let's uh quit out I think this is a great oh great stream really for bite because it could take this really complex setup and then just hit play I didn't really change anything I didn't download like proton GE I didn't make any like patches to here for the launch options I hadn't done anything all I did was just just install it and go and I think I might try a little bit more on the vfio pass through I'm curious to see how maybe I might get thorum on something like an immutable drro using maybe drro box there's all these other things to explore really going and taking a deeper die with RPM os3 is kind of where we're at I think that's where we go from here so good oh I did the init Ram D- track you do init Ram un track all and run the command again and it should work so if we look at so this is the first one what else did I do okay here's the track so let's just go untrack all okay let's go untrack all transaction in progress upgrade to cancel the current do we have an auto update happening in the background that I don't know about uh oh maybe pseudo yep dinner time time all right I'll be in it is dinner time but I'm going to do an untrack all and then okay use RPM os3 install as a last resort prefer always prefer flat pack or drro box where possible okay good to know what is the best dis immutable dros you've used basite bite is amazing obviously on the steam deck I have really I'm sold I'm sold on the mutable dros for for normal users I think this is what where I see Linux going for you know the general population this is amazing like if you install bite on your system and you just you're okay with Linux compatibility there's going to be some games that have Easy anti-cheating and will not work but if you're okay with that bite will get you your Steam and you're going to be able to play most of your Steam library and you're not going to have very many problems you can take that to the bank I I mean I'm really really impressed with it though I think it I think it'll be great uh as far as anything else here I think we're good uh after we do the untrack all I think I still have one thing for the vfio pass through that I can do and I'll try that uh I'll look back through we'll try the arguments again I think it's the RPM os3 in it Ram FS enable with the two arguments after doing the untrack and I think that'll get us back to actually being able to stub the card correctly but even with this the card not stubbed correctly like I haven't set this up actually very well once I stub that card this is going to work even better the fact any it even works right now kind of blows my mind with this really crazy system I have it does still just work what about the steam deck software like FPS limiter are they available on bite yes Tom you can actually use ujust so if you type ujust look at this look at this you can you can do decky loader you can do uck you can do drro box yeah I mean jeez have at it man it is kind of crazy like so everything you can do on your steam deck is now possible on your desktop so you install this it's like having a steam deck on your PC and I frankly I made mine more desktop friendly but you could just do the basite Dash deck and you're going to have a much more steam deck like experience I just didn't want a steam like you know steam deck like experience for my main PC here because I do mainly use this PC for work so that that's why uh and it does take longer to load everything I will say but at the end of the day I think we get there and I think it will just do the args enable like this and then I'll try and reboot we'll see where it goes from here but I think at the end of the day this is pretty cool it's a really neat exploration into something kind of new in the Linux desktop realm and you know a huge success and you'll and also be looking for the main Channel video tomorrow about bazide if you want to learn more about it I I break it down I kind of show a lot more of the other things bazide does and I do it more in a a traditional setting that you probably have on your desktop not like this crazy 10 hard drives with two GPU setup I have here I just I was curious to see if I could even get it to work that's where I was like hm interesting but I'm going to let this run and I'll Tinker around with it probably a little bit more offline and I'll probably start streaming uh we'll see probably Tuesday or Thursday Friday something like that we'll see what happens I'll probably stream on one of them but either on Titus Tech talk on YouTube or over here on Twitch either way yall have a fantastic evening I look forward to much more reviews of bite and kind of diving more into this because I'm just having a ball all right y'all have a great one peace
