@60plus 60plus released this 11 Oct 16:13

Standalone SteamOS adaptation of the original Decky NVIDIA Update plugin, published for testing and upstream review.

Changes

  • Prepare NVIDIA drivers in the inactive SteamOS A/B slot, with compressed staging and rollback. No fixed 8 GiB root requirement or partition resize.
  • Include the controller, isolated package builder and OS repair runtime. No separate NVIDIA installer is required.
  • Preserve the recognized steamos-nvidia update hook and existing driver settings.
  • Offer Arch packages and additional NVIDIA versions, with clear source/channel labels, driver counts and an eight-entry scrollable picker.
  • Fix the temporary Btrfs and /etc overlay cleanup failure.

Install

Install the attached plugin ZIP through Decky Loader's "Install Plugin from ZIP" option. The SHA-256 file is included. The source-code archives are not installable plugin bundles.

Validation and limits

39 Python tests, frontend filter/geometry checks, TypeScript, Bash syntax and a clean frontend build passed. Driver 615.78.08 was installed and booted on an RTX 5060 PC running SteamOS 3.8.28 with a 5 GiB root slot.

Additional NVIDIA packages were built, but their installation/reboot and a subsequent SteamOS update have not yet been validated. Other hardware and OS versions need testing. This is a development prerelease; see the README for supported layouts and checks.

Original plugin by moi952. Standalone adaptation by 60plus, based on the staging method from 28allday/steamos-nvidia-installer.
