Title says all, is it possible to use a mainline kernel on a non-SteamOS install or do you have to use Valve’s kernel they ship with SteamOS 3.x? Is it possible to find all the the patches they use and compile a kernel yourself?

    I really hope those patches make their way into the other distros. I’ve got a few Linux machines and the Steam Deck is the only one that wakes from sleep without locking up. It’s also the only one that allocates VRAM for the iGPU automatically when a game needs more.
