Steam goes back to Stable branch
Closed this issue · 2 comments
Hi! I do not know if the problem is with this package or with gamescope-session
itself, but on my Arch machine with the packages from the AUR, everytime that I change to the Beta branch it resets to the Stable one.
It even happens when I set the Beta through my GNOME session.
Is this the default behavior? Is there a way of setting it to the Beta branch on both modes (gamescope session and normal session - GNOME, in my case) and remain on this branch?
This is because on the desktop, Steam is switching you to the desktop version of Steam and the gamescope session uses the Steam Deck version of Steam. When you switch between the two sessions, Steam resets itself to the default branch.
You can work around this by using the Steam Deck version of Steam on the desktop, like so:
- Copy
/usr/share/applications/steam.desktop
to~/.local/share/applications/steam.desktop
- Open
~/.local/share/applications/steam.desktop
in a text editor - Change the
Exec
line by adding the-steamdeck
option to the end of the line
@alkazar Thank you! It worked!
