The firmware files in turn should work their way into linux-firmware.git soon for being easily picked up by the various Linux distribution vendors (update: they are now in linux-firmware.git already).

Nice. Guess that means it won't be long until they are in Bazzite and other distros.

Is this something that will be pushed to Steam Decks automatically?

[–] vividspecter@lemm.ee 23 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I would expect so. It might already be on the Deck, as sometimes Valve is ahead on kernel and firmware related issues.

I think it would come down within an entire SteamOS update. Valve should give it some time in Testing before they push it to everybody in Stable. But they have been known to yolo some really wonky builds on a Friday afternoon and leave your Deck broken all weekend.
