Why wouldn’t it work?? It’s just a ssd/nvme drive in a computer, the same drivers are going to be present in the kernel.
This is non-news.
My man out here doing the lord’s work. Thank you
Well fucking duh, of course it boots. That’s like saying a PC can boot a Linux distro.
This is great news! I was just thinking that my biggest headache would be reconfiguring everything just now I like it (Decky plugins, EmuDeck, etc.). Sounds like I should be able to get the OLED pop off the back and throw my current SSD/micro SD in there and it will work!
I assume it brings over all the Linux configs too, like your sudo password?
Odd that you can’t back up configs for plugins and other settings… isn’t there a plugin for that? hehe
Thank you for confirming this, it’ll make switching way easier.
I’m assuming the SSD swapping is the exact same process as before? Planning on getting a new 2TB for the OLED.
It is even easier than before from what I have seen.
why would it not
It was a possibility as it had a different mainboard, different APU, different WiFi card, different screen, different thumbsticks. Without testing no one would know if it would boot, or just require firmware updates.
Why the fuck wouldn’t it?
Taki, are we able to use our clear JSAUX back on the new OLED?
You’ll blow ya minds when you see the charge from the normal Steam Deck charges the OLED!
I’m not really understanding why it was ever a concern it wouldn’t.
This was my main concern tbh. Glad this was answered! I reaally didn’t want to go through the painful process to setting up all my games and emulation again…
Can you check to see if it’s a Samsung display?
