I made a steam console (lemmy.world)

And omfg!!! I'm amazed and blown away. I have this old PC that I've had since 2016. Replaced the old 1080Ti that died with an RX6600. Connected it to my TV in the basement and installed Bazzite OS HTPC on it.

A friend of mine has over 2500 games on his steam and gave me access through this family sharing feature. Man, I'm amazed. I didn't know that steam mode has built in upscaling where all the games I play are now running ~50 - 60 FPS on medium to high settings on this 4k TV. It's like having an actual console but with more games and better graphics. For controller, I got this Gamesir cyclone 2 and it's freaking fantastic. Just trying to figure out how to wake the "console" using the controller. I don't think I'll ever touch my PS4 pro ever again.

I did have one issue where Bazzite wouldn't wake up after suspend, but fixed that by disabling runtime power management for AMDGPU by Adding options amdgpu runpm=0 to /etc/modprobe.d/amdgpu.conf and disabling the wake up animation for steam mode.

That's it. Just came here to share with you all this amazing discovery. lol

The bluetooth controller in the machine needs to support wake on pcie/usb. The one in the steamdeck does, which is how it achieves the ability to be woken from a controller.

Small correction, only the OLED model has that, it's essentially the only gripe I have with my Deck.

You can also wake up the original Stram Deck with USB if you don't mind.

Yup, my steam controller is able to wake it up, haven't had luck with the 8bitdo yet, but I still haven't give it a try more than just plugging it and giving it a quick check

I've tried with it for a while, but couldn't get it to work. I'll keep messing with it.

Anything is possible with Linux if you pfaff around long enough. But I think you'll need a controller with USB receiver, you can't do it directly with Bluetooth.

Consoles have a whole other processor that looks for inputs like that while the main processor remains off. Those don't make much sense for PCs.

You're right. I tried for a little while and got tired of it. The controller I have is connected via a 2.4ghz dongle, so it's basically a USB. My PC sees it, but I just can't add it to the wake list for some reason. It kept failing. It's not really a big deal. When I want to play game I come walking to the basement, so I'm already on my feet. I can just walk to the PC and wake it up. Lol. We also have a mouse and keyboard by the couch anyway.
