ChimeraOS 33 Out Now, Adds Deck UI Bug Fixes
ChimeraOS version 33 has landed hot off the press today. The following software packages have been upgraded:
- kernel 5.17.9
- Mesa 22.0.4
- Nvidia 515.43.04 (keep in mind this driver is in beta)
- Chimera 0.14.6 (the web app that allows you to remotely install software to ChimeraOS)
- steamos-compositor-plus 1.9.4
- RetroArch 1.10.3
This release also brings plenty of bug fixes, particularly when using the Steam Deck UI:
- fixed the session being reverted to Big Picture Mode after a recent Steam update
- fixed non-Steam games failing to launch
- fixed performance overlay
- fixed frame limiter
- fixed night mode
- fixed brightness controls
- fixed ChimeraOS release version not displaying
- fixed some minor graphical glitches
Keep in mind the Deck UI doesn’t work on NVIDIA. You may also need to clear your customizations and re-run chimera-session gamepadui
if you have manually switched to the new UI in a previous version, or have custom environment variables defined. There’s a couple of other notes as well; have a look at the patch notes for more info. Also, be sure to check out the interview I had with the founder of the project last month.
