You’ll get it once when you access Non-Steam library for thw first time. If you refuse it you’ll never see it again

Will give that a try tommorrow. Thanks for suggestion I had no idea ffmpeg can do this

Yes, it’s Gnome Software. Discover = Gnome Software… the default app finder that comes with the OS once you install it. It’s not like I’ve installed a different app searcher for some reason.

By the way. AFter fresh install I’ve installed GSConnect directly from extensions and it immediatelly shows up in the menu by default. The GSConnect from Discover store shows as not installed. Also nowhere in the Discover store it says it’s an extensions.

They really need to make this more clear tbh, it’s very confusing for people who never used it.

I’ve already reinstalled and set up everything :)

I did check the history btw, it was not there at all. And there were only 16 lines as well so it’s not like I’ve overlooked it.

So got GSConnect to work… I had to also enable it in Extension manager for some reason. I had no idea it’s an extension since I’ve just i stalled it as RPM package from the discover store.

Anyhow, it’s just confusing. I was installing KDE Connect on both my PC and laptop. I never even heard of GSConnect until I started troubleshooting and I thought it’s just some GNOME fork of KDE-Connect, not actually a mandatory replacement for KDE-Connect on GNOME.

It may make sense in the name but the name makes it even more confusing. Since it works on Android/Windows,… Why would I not assume it will work on Linux GNOME?

But thanks, I found GS conncect in the Extension manager… Why the hell is it even there? Anyhow, it works. But the fact I cant uninstall KDE Connect now drives me crazy… Time for fresh system install I guess… Again

I cant even uninstall KDE-connect now. Even via terminal it doesn’t work.

Error: org.kde.desktop is not installed. Is it really required to have KDE Desktop?

The bacground app is Amberol btw

Tried both, does not work

I’ve installed Fedora 42 KDE to try out Plasma 6.4 as last time I’ve used KDE it was 5.x… Anyhow, I’m back to GNOME after 2h of messing with settings unable to get desired results. And the KDE animations are just bad… Still better than Windows though.

FreeCAD is great for 3D CAD models but not that great for CAD drawings

So I’ve tried it and it works but it’s extremely annoying to use to the point that I find it pointless unless there is a fix…

Some games launch unfocused so I will only see Steam loading icon on my Steam Deck and I have to go to my PC and with mouse click on the game in the tray to put it into focus to play it. For example Dragon Quest XI, any way to fix that?

Remote play for whatever reason works far better in desktop mode

I went to set it up and I give up, I dont have time for that. Seems complicated Maybe later. I’ll stick with desktop mode remote play for now.

So after trying I can say that Steam Link is literally the same as a Remote Play, it even has the same settings and everything… But on Desktop mode the Remote Play works so much better for whatever reason. Both HEVC and HW-decoding also work.

However when HW-decoding is enabled all the colors are washed out and blacks are just medium grays (more white-ish than black) for example so all of the main OLED advantages are lost. Same happens if I enable HW encoding on my PC side, in which case I have the same issue with HW decoding enabled/disabled on Steam Deck side.

Now that may be because of RDNA2 encoder but since this happens also when just decoding when the source is CPU encoded, idk for sure.

Now the issue is that in desktop mode I’m locked to 90Hz so I’m forced to stream 90FPS otherwise the gameplay is not smooth as it would be at 60Hz so I lose some visual advantage from HEVC in trade for smoothness… Guess I can’t have it all unless there is some way to force 60Hz on desktop?

I will try byt isn’t Steam Remote play literally just Steam link though?

YouTube music. But since Lite has ads then idk what it’s different. I’m assuming Lite also doesn’t have music.

Dash to Dock is all I need to achieve perfect GNOME experience
