It's not just audio. I have an nvidia shield plugged directly into the receiver and it passes the video to the TV and handles the audio. The Steam Deck doesn't do anything on the receiver. Even when I try using the same HDMI port and cable.

Plugging the Steam Deck dock directly into the TV is fine, however.

I appreciate that you are trying to cover all of your bases. But, I did mention that it works directly on the TV.

I did not mention that I've tried multiple docks though. Also, both have external power. I googled it and it seems like PCs often have issues with av receivers. I just can't figure out a way to fix it automatically in gaming mode. I haven't done much testing in desktop mode though either.

I just want my game's music to come out of my nice sound system lol

Mine is a jsaux dock too.. My receiver is denon iirc.

Do you have a good comparison? Like maybe two files that do similar things?

What is guix? I'm aware of nixos. Are they related?

That just kept going. I feel you, but maybe try a password manager? You open it up, type blizzard and it tells you exactly what password you used. Even better, it can generate really good passwords for you.

I use bitwarden.

I hope that there is a dark mode! lol I checked it out. I'll probably try it soon.

That's fair. It's just a lot of money right now.

The plugin is nice to know about. I was just putting the vault in a syncthing folder.

I've got it working a couple of times. In my opinion they need to fix documentation, make flakes an officially supported thing and take it out of beta that it's been in for years so that documentation can be further created, and the installer should work on a majority of devices out of the box.

My laptop was the worse experience. I just wanted KDE and Firefox. I don't use it for much. But, KDE wouldn't load so I had to go into CLI and edit the configuration.nix and change some stuff to get it to work. It's a thinkpad that has official support for Linux. So, it was specifically a nix driver issue. I just installed Arch again and went on like normal. I would love to trust it with a server. But, I just can't.

Nice! That'd be a game changer for me for sure!

Does it work with ROMs/emulators? I would love to be able to setup all of my ROMs on my server and just download the ones I want to play on a per-game basis. My ROMs are mostly compressed in .zip or .7z so that's a different problem. It would be great to have my emulators configured per-device and ROMs on my server.

I'm imagining how cool it would be to have an app on Steam Deck to help manage local ROMs too. But, that would require Linux builds of the client I suppose.
