A ChimeraOS dev assumes the new interface is not supported by the old Nvidia GTX 960 somehow.
I will try and dig deeper, but in the meantime I had to revert to ChimeraOS 38.

Does Chimera run X11 or Wayland? I've gotten the new BPM running on my Alienware Steam Machine (GTX960), but I have to run it in a Wayland session. The distro I'm running is Manjaro Gnome (minimal install), the only problem I'm having with this is BPM runs really slow if the desktop is at 1920x1080, but it seems like a lot people with Nvidia GPUs are having performance issues with it.

I just checked, it's running X11.
Are you having any issues with Nvidia and Wayland? (besides the slow BPM)

As a side note, what I'd like Steam to tell me these days is whether a game is best played with keyboard and mouse or controller (Deck or TV should be more or less equivalent).
Anyone else is wondering when picking their next game?
Maybe this deserves its own topic.

So, should we select this if the rest of the information is about our Steam Deck or if we're mostly using the Steam Deck, not the PC that the rest of the information describes?

You enter in, as always, whatever your main gaming unit is. Nothing has changed on that, just now you can very specifically state in that one question exactly as Steam Deck.

Gotcha :) May I request a new field then, similar to the VR one, where we can select if we use any handheld Linux machine apart from our main PC?

I'm thinking something like this:

I don't think this would be enough to cover all relevant info.
I currently play on 3 different machines: a desktop pc, a Steam Machine for couch gaming, a Steam Deck for handheld.
What constitutes my main gaming pc these days varies wildly.
A few years ago I'd never have thought we could have this kind of problem

Maybe I'm nitpicking here, but did they actually want to know why we game on linux (a bit obvious) or why we use linux in the first place?

The answer is a short one, but I'll comment here as I don't have a twitter account.

Everyone wants to game (or do anything else) on the OS of their choice.
We chose linux because we like it best, and buying an inferior OS is silly.
