Updates

CouchPotatOS never updates behind your back. Updates run only when you start them from Steam.

Update from Steam

Open Steam’s Settings → System and check for updates. When a new version is ready, apply it and restart.

How it works

Each version of CouchPotatOS is one complete, signed system image, the same for everyone. An update installs the new image next to the one you’re running, and the PC switches to it at the next restart.

• Your games, saves, Steam account, Wi-Fi and settings carry over.
• If you installed NVIDIA’s driver, it’s installed again on the new version automatically.
• The previous version is kept. If a new version fails to start, the PC goes back to it.

Steam itself updates the way it always does, independently of the system.

Channels

Choose the channel in the same place in Steam’s settings:

Channel	You get
Stable	Versions we have tested. Updates every few weeks.
Beta	Every new build, following openSUSE Tumbleweed closely. Newer, but less tested.
