调研方向

Start with Settings → System → Software Updates and the existing system-update flow, then investigate SteamOS’s A/B partition and boot-selection mechanisms. The requested flow is to choose a previous known-good version, confirm the rollback, and restart into it. Done means an ordinary user can complete this recovery without terminal commands or knowledge of bootloaders and partitions.

描述

SteamOS should provide an easy, user-friendly way to roll back to the previous working system version directly from the Settings menu.

My desktop PC experienced a regression after updating to SteamOS 3.9.5. Gaming Mode stopped handling my external displays correctly, including the HDMI dummy plug I use for 4K streaming with Sunshine. Rolling back to SteamOS 3.8.28 immediately restored normal functionality.

I managed to solve this using the A/B partitions and command-line tools, but most ordinary users should not have to understand bootloaders, partitions or terminal commands just to recover from a problematic update.

Since SteamOS already appears to have the underlying A/B system in place, I would strongly encourage Valve to expose this functionality through a simple rollback option in Settings → System → Software Updates.

Ideally, users should be able to select the previous known-good system version, confirm the rollback and restart.

New hardware and software updates will inevitably introduce regressions. Making rollback accessible to everyone would protect user confidence, reduce frustration and make SteamOS a much more robust operating system – especially on desktop PCs with different hardware and multi-monitor configurations.

A good update system should not only make updates safer; it should also make recovery from a bad update easy.
