Kororon - Eve

I can’t speak for any specific version - but for awhile it was the same for me, but they eventually made a WebOS official release so I no longer have to fuss with developer mode.

Since it can’t reach the Internet since that point ( maybe a year ago?) I can’t vouch for if any update would have broken that

WebOS app for me has been working like a champ for a long while now. It’s so nice that it just works with my existing remote and everything.

Blocked all traffic to my TV at the router except local, and now it’s a beautiful, free beast. Love the jellyfin crew.

I’ll happily say I must have overlooked something, but I did try using update-alternatives. I don’t remember all the nuts and bolts from the start, but it involves python3 and distribution upgrades. I spent a good number of nights over the years trying to unmess it up, and am happy to never think about it ever again.

Installed python3 before it was made the native python on the dist. Half broke everything, including apt & python. So I uninstalled it, and then everything was broken. Finally got python3 reinstalled, and lived with it kindof working & awful distribution updates.

I have finally freed myself of that prison last month, by nuking everything and starting fresh.

Its a meme at this point, but I tried to install arch. Ran into display issues during install and couldn’t progress. Gave up and did Ubuntu instead.

I know there’s supposed to be some helper stuff out there now to make it go smoothly, but don’t think I am motivated enough to retry ever.

I’ve only just started looking myself, but theres agora online

So much yes. Highly recommend. I could listen to Dan Carlin go on about a topic endlessly.

In fairness, I frequently forgot my steamdeck root password, because the need to use it was so few and far between. If you’re always in game mode, then there’s almost 0 reason that I’d need my password.

How does deck + phone work? Your phone uses the speakers on the deck for playback?
