\"VALVE\"
\nValve’s Steam Deck with SteamOS features built-in crash data collection as well as for logging other system events worth having knowledge about like the split-lock detection<\/a> and other events. This is all opt-in by users for data collection by Steam, but for those curious about a bit more insight into this Steam Deck data collection, a presentation at this past week’s Linux Plumbers Conference dove into the matter.<\/p>\n

Guilherme Piccoli of Linux consulting firm Igalia who has been a long time partner with Valve presented on the data collection leveraged by Valve’s Steam Deck. The data collection is focused both on being able to deal with software\/hardware breakage as well as areas where software developers can better optimize their game\/engine\/library to better handle Steam Deck \/ SteamOS. <\/p>\n

\"Steam<\/p>\n

Breakages like crashes, GPU hangs, kernel oops, and more are obviously important as are out-of-memory events, split lock detection, and other such data that is useful but not critical.<\/p>\n

Again, with the Steam Deck \/ SteamOS the data collection by Valve is all opt-in. Those curious and wanting to learn more about this Steam Deck data collection functionality can see this PDF slide deck<\/a> for the details. The video recordings from LPC 2025 aren’t yet available.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Valve’s Steam Deck with SteamOS features built-in crash data collection as well as for logging other system events…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":192201,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[7165,61,60,7164,7162,7161,7168,7166,7163,7167,7160,7171,80,7169,7170],"class_list":["post-192200","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-desktop-linux","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-linux-benchmarking","tag-linux-hardware-benchmarks","tag-linux-hardware-reviews","tag-linux-how-to","tag-linux-performance","tag-linux-server-benchmarks","tag-open-source-graphics","tag-phoronix","tag-phoronix-test-suite","tag-technology","tag-ubuntu-benchmarks","tag-ubuntu-hardware"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/192200","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=192200"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/192200\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/192201"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=192200"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=192200"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=192200"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
