Setup instructions and system requirements can be found here.

Built using archlinux-2022.07.01-x86_64.iso and SteamOS 3.2 packages.

Feature highlights:

  • Boot issues have been fixed.
    • For any users who have had issues booting winesapOS 3.0 or 3.1, it will now work in 3.1.1.
    • Unforunately, the issues were from our Steam Big Picture theme for GRUB.
    • Vimix is our new GRUB theme that works better across a wide range of hardware.
  • AUR packages are now pre-built and available in the winesapOS repository.
    • Upgrades and custom builds are now a lot faster because of this.
  • WirePlumber is used as the audio server.
    • It replaces pipewire-media-session.
    • This aligns with what Arch Linux and SteamOS recommend as the modern PipeWire implementation to use.
    • Upstream Arch Linux issues with upgrade conflicts regarding these packages has been addressed in winesapOS.

Project highlights:

  • Over 300 GitHub stars!
    • We appreciate each and every single one of you! Keep the feature and bug reports coming in. winesapOS is made by Linux gamers for Linux gamers. We could not do this project without your support!

Upgrades:

  • Before upgrading, please read the upgrade notes.
  • Follow this guide in our README.md file on how to perform a system upgrade.

Known issues:

  • Steam Deck client shows corrupt graphics.
    • Solution: the Steam Deck client works best on modern AMD GPUs but has also been reported as working on some Intel and NVIDIA graphics devices. Use the "Steam Desktop" application instead.
  • Steam Deck client cannot login.
    • Solution: please read this troubleshooting guide for how to workaround this. It applies to all Linux distributions and is not specific to the PS4Linux project.
  • "Add/Remove Software" (Pamac) fails to launch if it has been updated.
    • Solution: Run the "winesapOS Upgrade" desktop shortcut to re-install an older version of Pamac that works.
