DeckShift

Version 0.1.3 — Steam Deck-style gaming mode for Linux + Hyprland. Press Super+Shift+S to enter Gaming Mode (Steam Big Picture in Gamescope), Super+Shift+R to return to your desktop.

Lineage: forked from Super-Shift-S-Omarchy-Deck-Mode, briefly renamed Omarchy Deck, then renamed DeckShift as the project moves toward distro-portability.

Current status: targets Omarchy (Arch + Hyprland + SDDM + iwd). Works on other Arch + Hyprland setups with minor manual tweaks. Cross-distro support (Fedora / openSUSE / Cachy) is the next direction.

What's New

v0.1.3 — power-state save/restore + reliable exit

• Saves your real pre-Gaming-Mode state (CPU governor + power profile) on entry to ~/.cache/deckshift/saved-state and restores those exact values on exit. No more guessing powersave/balanced.
• Synchronous restore in switch-to-desktop — runs before SDDM is restarted, so the restore can't be SIGKILL'd mid-write by session teardown.
• switch-to-desktop now uses an atomic systemctl restart sddm instead of a racy stop+disowned-start that could leave the display manager stopped (= black screen).
• powerprofilesctl is now in the NOPASSWD allowlist so the restore call can succeed without a polkit auth agent.

v0.1.2 — TUI hardening + hybrid PRIME offload

• Hybrid GPU support in the Settings TUI. Two new GPU modes:
  • [hybrid-nvidia] — for laptops with NVIDIA dGPU + AMD/Intel iGPU where the laptop screen (eDP-1) is wired to the iGPU. Sets __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 + friends so Gamescope runs on the iGPU but games inside still render on the NVIDIA dGPU via PRIME render offload. Tested working on Acer Nitro (AMD APU + RTX 3050) playing Homeworld 3 with NVIDIA acceleration on the laptop screen.
  • [hybrid-amd] — for AMD dGPU + AMD/Intel iGPU laptops. Asks which GPU is the dGPU, then sets DRI_PRIME + MESA_VK_DEVICE_SELECT so games offload to the AMD dGPU.
• Settings TUI no longer crashes on stale OUTPUT_CONNECTOR. When the saved monitor is currently unplugged the TUI falls back gracefully instead of tripping pipefail.
• Installer no longer preselects monitor / resolution / refresh rate. Display selection is now exclusively the TUI's job; the installer writes only GPU and static keys to gamescope-session-plus.conf.
• Conf writer is now per-key set/unset (sed-based), idempotent — re-running the installer preserves user-set display values from the TUI instead of clobbering them.

v0.1.1 / v0.1.0 — original deckshift fork

• Settings TUI launched from Walker (Super+Space → "DeckShift Settings").
• NVIDIA driver branch auto-pick (Pascal/Maxwell/Volta → nvidia-580xx-utils, Turing+ → nvidia-utils) via Omarchy's omarchy-hw-nvidia-gsp.
• Idempotent package installs via omarchy-pkg-add.
• Optional Xbox Bluetooth controller support (xpadneo-dkms, opt-in).
• Intel GPU support (Iris Xe, Arc) with a generation warning for older Gen8/9.
• Multilib check removed (Omarchy ships with multilib enabled).

Settings TUI

After install, launch DeckShift Settings from Walker (or run deckshift-settings directly) to change Gaming Mode display settings without editing config files:

Option	What it sets in gamescope-session-plus.conf
Monitor	OUTPUT_CONNECTOR (auto-detected from connected DRM outputs; pick or clear)
Resolution	SCREEN_WIDTH / SCREEN_HEIGHT (offers monitor's native modes + common presets)
Refresh rate	CUSTOM_REFRESH_RATES (parsed from EDID, plus common rates as fallback)
GPU — direct	VULKAN_ADAPTER + GBM_BACKEND (NVIDIA) or DRI_PRIME (AMD/Intel) — single-GPU desktops
GPU — [hybrid-nvidia]	__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1, __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only, __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia — hybrid laptops with NVIDIA dGPU + iGPU-attached eDP
GPU — [hybrid-amd]	DRI_PRIME=pci-… + MESA_VK_DEVICE_SELECT=<vendor:device> + MESA_VK_DEVICE_SELECT_FORCE_DEFAULT_DEVICE=1 — hybrid laptops with AMD dGPU + iGPU
(clear)	Removes all GPU keys; gamescope auto-picks at runtime

The [hybrid-*] options only appear when the relevant GPU pair is detected.

The TUI launches as a floating window via Omarchy's TUI.float pattern. Selections are buffered — nothing is written to disk until you pick Save and exit. Cancel discards unsaved changes. Saved changes apply next time you enter Gaming Mode (Super+Shift+S).

What It Does

This installer transforms your desktop into a dual-mode system:

• Desktop Mode — your normal Hyprland session.
• Gaming Mode — full-screen Steam Big Picture running inside Gamescope (the same compositor used by the Steam Deck), with automatic performance tuning, controller support, and external drive mounting.

Switching between modes is seamless — SDDM handles session transitions, and your network, audio, and peripherals carry over automatically.

Requirements

• OS: Omarchy (Arch Linux + Hyprland + SDDM)
• GPU: AMD (discrete or APU), NVIDIA (discrete), or Intel (Arc / Iris Xe), or any hybrid combo of the above
  • Intel Arc (Alchemist, Battlemage): well-supported
  • Tiger Lake / Alder Lake Iris Xe: playable for indies / older AAA
  • Older Gen8/9 Intel (Skylake, Kaby Lake): expect slow/glitchy — installer warns and asks before continuing
  • Hybrid laptops (NVIDIA + iGPU, AMD dGPU + iGPU): use the corresponding [hybrid-*] GPU mode in the Settings TUI
• AUR Helper: yay or paru (for ChimeraOS session packages)

Note

: This script targets Omarchy and its stack (Hyprland, SDDM, iwd, UWSM, PipeWire). It works on other Arch + Hyprland setups with light tweaks, but isn't tested there.

Quick Start

git clone https://git.no-signal.uk/nosignal/deckshift.git
cd deckshift
chmod +x deckshift.sh
./deckshift.sh

The installer is fully interactive and walks you through each step.

After install, open DeckShift Settings from Walker and pick:

• A monitor
• A resolution / refresh rate
• A GPU mode — for hybrid laptops, prefer [hybrid-nvidia] or [hybrid-amd] over the direct options

Save, then Super+Shift+S to launch Gaming Mode.

Usage

Action	How
Enter Gaming Mode	Super + Shift + S
Return to Desktop	Super + Shift + R (global keybind monitor catches it inside Gamescope)
Return to Desktop (alternative)	Steam → Power → Switch to Desktop
Open settings	Walker → DeckShift Settings, or run deckshift-settings

Command-Line Options

./deckshift.sh              # Full installation
./deckshift.sh --verify     # Verify installation only
./deckshift.sh --version    # Show version
./deckshift.sh --help       # Show help

Recovery from a Black Screen

If Gaming Mode (or anything else) leaves you on a black screen, here's the order of escalation:

1. Super + Shift + R — the keybind monitor inside Gamescope still works on a black screen as long as the kernel is processing input.
2. Wait 10 seconds. Sometimes the display is just renegotiating EDID after a session swap; give it a beat.
3. Switch to a TTY: press Ctrl + Alt + F2 (try F3 / F4 if F2 is blank). You'll get a text login prompt.
4. Log in as your user, then run one of:
   • Cleanest — log the graphical session out cleanly and bounce back to SDDM:

     loginctl terminate-user $USER
     

   • Heavier — restart the whole display manager:

     sudo systemctl restart sddm
     

5. From SSH (from another machine on the network) the same commands work — handy if the box is wedged but its network is alive.
6. Last resort: hold the power button. Safe in this situation; you didn't cause the freeze, gamescope did.

If you keep ending up on a black screen, see Troubleshooting — most often it's a GPU↔connector mismatch on hybrid laptops (e.g. NVIDIA mode targeting eDP-1, which on a hybrid is wired to the iGPU). Switch the GPU mode in DeckShift Settings to [hybrid-nvidia] and pick eDP-1 for the monitor.

What Gets Installed

Packages

The installer checks for and offers to install:

Core Steam Dependencies

• steam, gamescope, mangohud, gamemode
• Vulkan loaders and Mesa libraries (32-bit and 64-bit)
• Audio libraries (lib32-alsa-plugins, lib32-libpulse, lib32-openal)
• Networking (networkmanager, lib32-libnm)
• Fonts (ttf-liberation)

GPU-Specific Drivers

• NVIDIA (Turing+ / GSP firmware — GTX 16xx, RTX 20–50xx, etc.): nvidia-utils, lib32-nvidia-utils, nvidia-settings, libva-nvidia-driver
• NVIDIA (legacy Maxwell/Pascal/Volta — GTX 9xx/10xx, Quadro P/M): nvidia-580xx-utils, lib32-nvidia-580xx-utils, nvidia-settings, libva-nvidia-driver
• AMD: vulkan-radeon, lib32-vulkan-radeon, libvdpau, lib32-libvdpau
• Intel: vulkan-intel, lib32-vulkan-intel, intel-media-driver

The correct NVIDIA driver branch is auto-selected via Omarchy's omarchy-hw-nvidia-gsp / omarchy-hw-nvidia-without-gsp helpers — no manual override needed. Intel-only systems get a generation warning + Y/N prompt before continuing (Skylake/Kaby Lake era is slow; Tiger Lake / Arc is fine).

AUR Packages (via yay/paru)

• gamescope-session-git — ChimeraOS base session framework
• gamescope-session-steam-git — ChimeraOS Steam session with compatibility scripts
• proton-ge-custom-bin (optional)

Other Requirements

• python-evdev — for the keyboard shortcut monitor
• gum, jq — for the Settings TUI
• ntfs-3g — for mounting NTFS game drives
• udisks2 — for external drive auto-mounting
• xcb-util-cursor, libcap, curl, pciutils

Optional: Xbox Bluetooth Controllers

• xpadneo-dkms, linux-headers — wireless Xbox pad button mapping & rumble for Big Picture / RetroArch (wired pads work without this)
• Prompted opt-in during install; pair with Super+Ctrl+B

Package installs use Omarchy's omarchy-pkg-add (idempotent, double-checks pacman actually installed each package).

How It Works

Session Switching Flow

Desktop Mode (Hyprland)
    │
    ├─ Super+Shift+S pressed
    │   └─ switch-to-gaming runs:
    │       ├─ Masks suspend targets (prevents sleep during switch)
    │       ├─ Updates SDDM config to gaming session
    │       └─ Restarts SDDM → boots into Gaming Mode
    │
Gaming Mode (Gamescope + Steam Big Picture)
    │
    ├─ On session start (gamescope-session-nm-wrapper):
    │   ├─ Saves current CPU governor + power profile to ~/.cache/deckshift/saved-state
    │   ├─ Enables performance mode (CPU governor → performance, GPU max power, PPD → performance)
    │   ├─ Starts NetworkManager (for Steam network access)
    │   ├─ Launches steam-library-mount (external drive detection)
    │   ├─ Starts gaming-keybind-monitor (Super+Shift+R listener)
    │   └─ Launches gamescope-session-plus with Steam
    │
    ├─ Super+Shift+R pressed (or Steam → Power → Switch to Desktop)
    │   └─ switch-to-desktop runs:
    │       ├─ Reads ~/.cache/deckshift/saved-state and restores CPU governor + PPD synchronously
    │       ├─ Unmasks suspend targets
    │       ├─ Restores Bluetooth
    │       ├─ Shuts down Steam gracefully
    │       ├─ Kills gamescope
    │       ├─ Updates SDDM config to Hyprland session
    │       └─ Atomic systemctl restart sddm → boots into Desktop Mode
    │
    └─ On session cleanup (trap handler — backup path):
        ├─ Kills steam-library-mount and keybind-monitor
        ├─ Stops NetworkManager, restores iwd WiFi
        └─ Re-applies saved CPU governor + power profile (idempotent if switch-to-desktop already ran)

Performance Mode

When Gaming Mode starts, the session wrapper saves your current CPU governor and power-profiles-daemon profile to ~/.cache/deckshift/saved-state, then:

• Sets CPU governor to performance on all cores
• NVIDIA: enables persistence mode, sets power limit to maximum, disables runtime suspend
• AMD: sets GPU to high performance via power_dpm_force_performance_level
• Sets the power profile to performance (when power-profiles-daemon is available)

On exit, both switch-to-desktop (synchronous, runs first) and the wrapper's trap (backup) read the saved file and restore the exact values that were set before Gaming Mode.

Caveat — Omarchy + AC: Omarchy's omarchy-powerprofiles-init autostarts on every Hyprland session and sets the power profile to performance whenever the laptop is on AC. So even after a perfect deckshift restore, the next Hyprland session will reset to performance if you're plugged in. This is Omarchy's intended behaviour, not a deckshift bug — it'd happen to any program that tries to set balanced and then a Hyprland session restarts. To opt out, comment exec-once = omarchy-powerprofiles-init in ~/.config/hypr/autostart.conf. On battery the deckshift restore lands at the saved value and stays there.

GPU Detection

The installer detects:

• AMD dGPU: PCI device names (Navi, RDNA, Vega discrete cards)
• AMD APU: integrated GPU codenames (Phoenix, Rembrandt, Van Gogh, etc.)
• NVIDIA: lspci, configures nvidia-drm.modeset=1 if missing, picks nvidia-utils vs nvidia-580xx-utils via Omarchy's GSP-firmware detection
• Intel (Arc / Iris Xe / iGPU): i915 / xe kernel drivers
• Hybrid combinations: detected by the Settings TUI, which surfaces the appropriate [hybrid-*] GPU mode

The installer itself no longer picks a monitor / resolution / refresh / GPU — those are user choices, made via the Settings TUI after install.

NetworkManager Integration

Many systems running Hyprland use iwd or systemd-networkd instead of NetworkManager. Since Steam requires NetworkManager for its network settings UI, the installer creates a managed handoff:

1. On Gaming Mode entry: NetworkManager starts, takes over networking.
2. On Gaming Mode exit: NetworkManager stops, iwd/networkd resumes.

This avoids conflicts and ensures both desktop and gaming sessions have network access.

External Drive Auto-Mount

The steam-library-mount daemon runs during Gaming Mode and:

1. Scans all connected drives for Steam library folders.
2. Mounts drives containing steamapps/ directories via udisks2.
3. Monitors udev for hot-plugged drives.
4. Unmounts non-Steam drives to avoid clutter.

Supports ext4, NTFS, btrfs, xfs, exfat, f2fs, and vfat filesystems.

Configuration

Config File

The installer reads from /etc/gaming-mode.conf (or ~/.gaming-mode.conf if it exists):

PERFORMANCE_MODE=enabled   # Set to "disabled" to skip performance tuning

Gamescope Session Config

The installer only writes GPU + static keys to ~/.config/environment.d/gamescope-session-plus.conf:

# Static — every install:
STEAM_ALLOW_DRIVE_UNMOUNT=1
FCITX_NO_WAYLAND_DIAGNOSE=1
SDL_VIDEO_MINIMIZE_ON_FOCUS_LOSS=0

# GPU-specific (NVIDIA shown):
VULKAN_ADAPTER=10de:25ac
GBM_BACKEND=nvidia-drm

Display keys (SCREEN_WIDTH, SCREEN_HEIGHT, CUSTOM_REFRESH_RATES, OUTPUT_CONNECTOR) and hybrid-PRIME env vars are owned exclusively by the Settings TUI. Re-running the installer preserves your TUI choices.

NVIDIA note: Gamescope on NVIDIA is currently capped at 2560×1440. The TUI flags any higher resolution as unsupported.

Shader Cache

The installer configures a 12 GB shader cache by default in /etc/environment.d/99-shader-cache.conf:

MESA_SHADER_CACHE_MAX_SIZE=12G
__GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SIZE=12884901888
DXVK_STATE_CACHE=1

NVIDIA-Specific Notes

• Kernel parameter: nvidia-drm.modeset=1 is required. The installer can configure this for Limine, GRUB, or systemd-boot.
• Resolution cap: Gamescope on NVIDIA is limited to 2560×1440 maximum.
• Force composition: the NVIDIA wrapper automatically adds --force-composition if your Gamescope version supports it.
• Environment: GBM_BACKEND=nvidia-drm and related vars are set automatically.
• Persistence mode: enabled during gaming, disabled on exit.

Hybrid laptop note

On a hybrid laptop (NVIDIA dGPU + AMD/Intel iGPU), the laptop screen (eDP-1) is wired to the iGPU. NVIDIA cannot scan out directly to it — pointing the direct [nvidia] mode at eDP-1 will black-screen.

Use [hybrid-nvidia] in the Settings TUI instead. Gamescope will run on the iGPU (which owns eDP-1) and games inside will render on NVIDIA via PRIME render offload, with the rendered frames flowing back through DMA-BUF for scanout. This is the same architecture Steam Deck uses (just with one GPU).

Bootloader Support

The installer can automatically configure nvidia-drm.modeset=1 for:

• Limine — appends to cmdline: in /boot/limine.conf
• GRUB — adds to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT and regenerates config
• systemd-boot — provides manual instructions for /boot/loader/entries/*.conf

A backup is created before any bootloader modification.

Troubleshooting

Verify Installation

Run the built-in verification to check all files, permissions, packages, and services:

./deckshift.sh --verify

Common Issues

Gaming Mode shows a black screen on eDP-1

Most likely a hybrid-laptop GPU↔connector mismatch — NVIDIA can't drive the iGPU's display.

• Switch the GPU mode to [hybrid-nvidia] (or [hybrid-amd] for AMD-only hybrids) in DeckShift Settings.
• If you only have the laptop screen, that's the only working path — direct NVIDIA mode requires an external display plugged into the dGPU's HDMI/DP output.

See Recovery from a Black Screen for how to get out of the black-screen state.

Gaming Mode doesn't start

• Check NVIDIA kernel params: cat /proc/cmdline | grep nvidia
• Verify gamescope works: gamescope -- steam
• Check session logs: journalctl --user -u gamescope-session -n 50

No network in Gaming Mode

• Test NM manually: sudo systemctl start NetworkManager && nmcli general
• Check polkit rules: ls -la /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/50-gamescope-*
• Check logs: journalctl -t gamescope-nm -n 20

Super+Shift+R doesn't work in Gaming Mode

• Ensure python-evdev is installed: pacman -Qi python-evdev
• Ensure user is in input group: groups | grep input
• Check the keybind monitor: journalctl -t gaming-keybind-monitor -n 20
• Fallback: Steam → Power → Switch to Desktop

External drives not mounting

• Ensure udisks2 is installed: pacman -Qi udisks2
• Check polkit rules exist: ls /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/50-udisks-gaming.rules
• Check mount logs: journalctl -t steam-library-mount -n 20

Audio stuttering in Gaming Mode

• Check PipeWire config exists: cat /etc/pipewire/pipewire.conf.d/10-gaming-latency.conf
• Try lower quantum: edit the config and set default.clock.min-quantum = 128

Power profile stays on performance after Gaming Mode exit

If you're on AC and using Omarchy, this is expected — see the Performance Mode caveat above. The deckshift restore is correctly running; Omarchy's session-init policy is overriding it on the next Hyprland start.

Intel-only system, Gaming Mode is laggy

• Older Gen8/9 Intel iGPUs (Skylake, Kaby Lake) struggle with Vulkan workloads. Lower the launch resolution via the Settings TUI (deckshift-settings) — 720p / 1080p makes a big difference.
• If you have a discrete GPU that should take over, check its driver is loaded: lspci -k | grep -A2 VGA
