- Rewrite README for this fork's purpose (was upstream's multi-image doc) - Remove 40-CU tooling (files/system, vendor/, docs/, justfiles) — this image is deliberately stable-24CU only - Remove upstream CI (GitHub workflows, release scripts) — builds are local, repo lives on Gitea - Remove unused upstream recipes (deck/kde/gnome × plain/40cu) - Remove upstream's cosign.pub — we don't sign; keeping their key was misleading (verified: recipe generates fine without it, no key baked) - Update NOTICE: drop removed vendored projects, credit direct upstream Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

bc250-console
A custom Bazzite GNOME (bootc) image for the AMD BC-250, built as a kid-friendly couch gaming console with remote parent administration. Recipes build with BlueBuild; the installer ISO comes from bootc-image-builder; installed consoles update over-the-air from this Gitea's container registry.

What it adds on top of bazzite-gnome:stable
| Area | Change |
|---|---|
| GPU | cyan-skillfish-governor-smu (BC-250 DVFS governor, from the filippor COPR), enabled |
| Memory | ttm.pages_limit / ttm.page_pool_size kargs so the GPU can use the full 16 GB shared GDDR6 |
| Remote admin | openssh-server (enabled) + gnome-remote-desktop (RDP); one-time bc250-remote-setup script; tailscaled enabled |
| Console behavior | All suspend paths masked, no screen lock/dim, GNOME animations off — always on, always reachable |
| Kid experience | Steam Big Picture autostarts for the kid account only |
| Apps | First-boot flatpaks: ProtonUp-Qt, Heroic, RetroDECK (Steam, Firefox, auto-updates already in the Bazzite base) |
| Fixes | hhd.service masked (crash-loops on BC-250) |
| Docs | Parent manual baked at /usr/share/doc/bc250-console/OPERATIONS.md |
Accounts
The ISO installs unattended and bakes two users from
iso-config.toml: parent (admin/wheel) and kid
(standard), both with a placeholder password to change on first login.
⚠️ The installer wipes the first disk with no prompts. Don't boot it on a machine whose disk you care about.
Documentation
BUILD-CONSOLE.md— build the image, generate the ISO, publish OTA updates (verified podman and docker paths, with workarounds)OPERATIONS.md— day-2 admin: connecting, installing games remotely, updates/rollback, GPU tuning, health checks
Hardware prerequisites (on the board, not in the image)
Modded BIOS (see mothenjoyer69/bc250-documentation), then BIOS settings: 512 MB dynamic VRAM, IOMMU disabled, auto power-on.
Credits
Forked from 62fixolab/Latest-Bazzite-AMD-BC-250-Patched-Images, which builds on vietsman's patched images and filippor/cyan-skillfish-governor, on top of ublue-os/bazzite. The 40-CU experimental tooling from upstream is intentionally not included — this image stays on the stable 24-CU configuration.
