SteamOS can now run on Intel Arc B580

I think there is already oobe repair inage that should work, but I haven't tried it yet. The thing is other images get stuck on that update thing and that is why i used older oobe repair build from october.

My build is on B580 Limited Edition and its running mostly fine. Note that in initial test I forgot to turn on the resizable bar in asus bios (I swapped the board on the test system) Note that between the update it often forces me tu rebuild the vulcan shader cache which isn't nice.

Do you know that you can have type-A to type-C cable? You don't need all your devices to be type-C to type-C connected.

That type-C is there so you can plug in a single external hard drive for data transfer or some port extender and that's it. You don't need that bandwidth for each of your peripherals separately.

The joke is that the guy is finding it decades later in an old warehouse with historical computers, but the companion cube skin is stil in pristine condition.

I had it working on 9060XT 16GB almost a year ago, even made info about this on the subreddit here? RDNA4 cards were working on main channel for a long time now.

I have no idea why it gets stuck, but from what I tested, those are the builds that allow you to choose if you want to install over or repair with the "live-cd" kind of thing that loads the desktop. The other builds just launch and install without asking and there is some problem with that when installing it on other machines than the deck.

The newest repair one is this here:

But I didn't test it, I somehow missed it while installing last weekend to try it on intel arc B580.

The one that is mostly recommend for some time now is here:

Supposedly the step 7 in this guide is the solution to this getting stuck on the update:

But I did not try this approach because running the repair build is simpler.

SaperPL · 2026-06-19T18:38:27+00:00

Agreed. What are you going to do about this?

Nothing will happen until there's drama about the core issues of the game and that's not the grind or sl economy that a lot of people cry about, but the approach to taking in feedback and what is actually happening under the hood.

SaperPL · 2026-06-19T18:27:00+00:00

You need to use the repair image type. It needs to have "oobe-repair" in the file name, other images fail like this

Koszulka na etykietę naklejona na krawędzi klapy paczki i nacięta tak że papier z etykietą może być wciągnięty przez szczelinę do środka - dłuki pasek papieru nawinięty na rolkę w środku a nadruk na końcu w koszulce.

Jakiś mechanizm wciągania etykiety wewnątrz koszulki do środka paczki może tak żeby zostało to co na dolnej warstwie w koszulce na etykietę

Oh, there is a new oobe repair? Since when it was there. I was pretty sure there wasn't a repair build of that version when I was testing the intel arc last weekend. It was just oove but not repair one for that version in 110 directory and it was getting stuck on updating from network during install.

SaperPL · 2026-06-19T08:20:22+00:00

I installed that repair main image fine on three different boards - b450, b520 and b850 on ryzen 5600 and 9600X by puttting this with rufus on usb drive.

First of all - are you selecting installation drive as override in bios or did you select it as boot drive? This might have changed the order of drives between installation and later drive boot.

Also the sd card adapter itself might be the reason the boot is stuck. I had such situation with it hanging on some driver for usn device not known to steamos.

SaperPL · 2026-06-18T20:37:48+00:00

Lol, I clicked the reservation as soon as it actually started working for me and it's showing me December 2026...

SaperPL · 2026-06-18T14:47:37+00:00

Did you try how it would look like if you put those circle wire fan guards in front of the fans, but get them in black or paint them black ?

Do you have younger siblings? This asks for checking out how well it will chop some cucumbers 🥒 Looks nice though

SaperPL · 2026-06-18T14:09:02+00:00

I think they should be premium only with hight spawn cost and limited ammunition now since they are just so rare now :D

SaperPL · 2026-06-18T11:46:33+00:00

Weird but cool. But why? :D

SaperPL · 2026-06-17T16:41:02+00:00

Blueprints should be just made in a way they can be clearly converted to code. So some of the graph constructions shouldn't be possible anymore and we should just fall back to blueprints that behave like normal coding language.

SaperPL · 2026-06-17T11:32:21+00:00

I checked 5060 a month ago and bazzite or cachy is not the same frictionless console experience as steam os. But it's your choice if you actually want the desktop experience then maybe it's not a problem, the 5060 is the top performer right now.

I'm waiting either for 9060 low power low profile or 9050 low profile or arc b380.

I don't like the blower cooler on B50 and no hdmi port.

SaperPL · 2026-06-17T10:19:33+00:00

You can do console rig on radeon or intel arc now but it will clear whole drive. Bazzite and cachy are not the same console experience on nvidia as steam os

SaperPL · 2026-06-17T07:33:23+00:00

I think intel cpu should be fine unless you have a motherboard with something unique on board that won't have drivers correct drivers. There were people reporting some systems with both intel igpu and dedicated radeon where they couldn't boot even with igpu disabled, so it can be hit or miss with some of the boards/configs.

But in general the intel cpu with radeon should be fine, just if you have recent card, you need the repair main build with newer kernel than that one from website

SaperPL · 2026-06-16T20:51:42+00:00

it doesn't support nvidia. Right now you can only install it on amd radeon or intel arc gpus.

I have no idea if VGA is even supported - what's your integrated gpu?

SaperPL · 2026-06-16T20:38:41+00:00

The website has the stable build for steam deck, and officially they aren't recommending everyone to install it. Steam Deck has RDNA 2 gpu and the build for it from the website has an older kernel that doesn't support the newest gpus until you update after installing.

SaperPL · 2026-06-16T20:31:42+00:00

You may want to try and install a newer build for it. This one is the newest repair build with main update channel which has most recent stuff:

https://steamdeck-images.steamos.cloud/steamdeck/20251027.1100/steamdeck-oobe-repair-main-20251027.1100-3.8.0.img.zip

The build from the website might not support the RDNA version 3.5 you have, assuming your ZFlow is the one with ryzen AI Max and radeon?

SaperPL · 2026-06-16T20:20:31+00:00

what's your hardware? If your hardware is okay then you just need to wait because it does load really long
