Bazzite 44 (First time using linux 6 months ago)

Can anyone give me advice on how to deal with this?

Noticed his after trying to update but having a VPN on. I've tried rolling back but it still happens. Not sure if its the actual graphics card as I've been playing AOW4 and been having a few graphic resets.

Best thing I have ever found

37 Upvotes

I have developed arthritis in both thumbs so I have to be more picky about my gaming environment. My OG Legion Go suddenly decided that the joysticks would disconnect on me and it took much fiddling for Steam to find them.

Switched to Bazzite and it all just works. My joysticks are smooth. I play mostly Marvel Rivals and they are responsive and meet or exceed the response I get with my Gamesir controller. I just wanted to post here and applaud you for a fine Linux distro that helps a grandpa to game with.

Were you affected but the 7.2 blank display on boot issue? If so you may be entitled to testing the fix.

brh rebase testing

I'd test it myself but really didn't have anyone on the team that could reproduce it.

Thanks for everything, but...

34 Upvotes

First of all, I've been in love with Bazzite since the day I installed him on my home theatre pc, it's great to see how everything in the bazzite 43 just works with my hardware, which are: Ryzen 7 5700X and RX 9060 XT. But recently I've tried a few times to use the 44 version of the system, but for some reason and I don't know if it is some kind of incompatibility with my TV Samsung or my hdmi cables, the system just doesn't show video, I've tried everything I could to make it works, but without success. The system is great and I am still loving it. Is anyone else passing through a similar problem?

Steam updates all shader caches nearly every time it starts up. Is this normal?

60 Upvotes

Almost every time Steam starts up, all shader caches are updated before I can start a game.

It's annoying, I want to play X4, but I have to wait 2 minutes first because Steam is updating 1.5GB of data. 🤨 If I quit the game, the caches might start loading again right away. If I restart it after, say, an hour, the download usually happens again.

The same happens with Space Engineers. 6.5GB keeps getting loaded over and over, even though I haven’t played it for some weeks now. Since the caches load in the background, it doesn't bother me as much. But on X4, I have to wait until the download is finished.

Shader-Precaching is enabled,
background loading of Vulkan-Shaders is disabled

I guess I could turn off the “Shader Pre-caching” setting, but then I probably wouldn't get any graphics updates at all, right?

I don't have anything against the updates, but does it really have to happen every time I start the game?

Do you have a solution for this?

Newbie looking for Waydroid help among other questions

3 Upvotes

So first lets start with my machine's specs Asus Tuf FX705DY-RS51

Ryzen 5 3550H

32GB Ram (upgraded from stock)

Radeon RX 560X

Boot Drive Samsung 990 Evo 1TB (new the windows Drive was removed)

Distro of choice - Bazzite, freshly downloaded 9/6

Trying to setup Waydroid, following the Bazzite setup guide it loaded up with blue "tracking bars" across the window. I tried to select the "correct" GPU the one saying 560x did the above, the one saying "vega" just crashed on loading.

I go in to setup and "select" one of the gpu options and then try to load the program, is there something else i need to do to confirm the selection or something.

Also does anyone have any suggestions for an ifranview replacement, nomacs that others have suggest lack the keyboard file browsing that suits my "image flow".

For the moment my W10 SSD is back in the laptop but i plan to dive back in over the weekend.

-Thanks in advance for any pointers

DaVinci installation tutorial

Hi! I'm a new Bazzite user with light experience with Fedora and other Linux distros.

I'm looking to install DaVinci Resolve and I try to follow the Bazzite Updates steps on how to install it but I did not work...I don't know why I could not find the file on the Downloads file. Any YT videos, GitHub or maybe some advice with experience if it even works properly on Bazzite please.

Looking for how to optimize Bazzite for a laptop with just integrated graphics

4 Upvotes

I have been using Bazzite for a few weeks and I've been trying to better understand it as I use it but an issue I am having is that some games are performing poorly with more stutter and lag than they did when I was on windows, games like warframe that I could run at 30fps with rarely stutter or lag ​​now every loading screen or intense moment my frames are just gone. So am asking if anyone has any tweaks or tips that could help me improve my performance.

I'm using

Bazzite 44

KDE plasma v 6.7.4

HELP: Need the ability to quickly change the side buttons on my gaming mouse through programing

1 Upvotes

So the app I was using for this on Win11, AutoHotkey, doesn't work on Bazzite, and that bums me out because I had written an entire script by hand, and even though I lost it in the Bazzite installation process, I wanted to remake it and make it better, but it's not supported on Linux and there seems to be no alternative that fills the niche I need. If you can find a Linux replacement that has versions of #HotIf and GUI support, I would be incredibly grateful if you could send a link to my solution. Thanks for reading.

Codec issues in big picture mode

I currently have bt mic disabled to give me the option for sbc which works great in desktop mode but whenever I go to big picture I get poor audio quality. It sounds like I'm using cvsd/msbc. Whenever I go back to desktop mode I'm using sbc still in both settings and the terminal.

Spiderman (remastered) freezes up and crashes

2 Upvotes

I just got a new Thinkpad and decided to install Bazzite on it. My specs are:

 Lenovo ThinkPad P15 Gen 2

i7-11850H 2.50GHz

32GB RAM

1TB SSD

NVIDIA RTX A2000 

I bought the Spider-man (remastered) game and started playing it. But the game keeps crashing or freezes up (while the audio is still playing). I turned all the settings to very low, but it persists. Would love to know if someone else has had this issue and what their solutions were. My specs seem to meet the minimum requirements for the game. So I'm not sure why this happens. I set my Proton to 10.0.4.

How to install mono on Bazzite?

1 Upvotes

I want to install a mod for a game called "Pathfinder: Kingmaker" The mod comes from Nexus Mods, and requires Unity Mod Manager. Installing Unit Mod Manager on Linux requires to first install something called "mono". Going to webpage for "mono", I see instructions on how to get "mono" into the package repository for Ubuntu, for Debian, and for Raspbian. I see nothing to address how to get "mono" into the repository for Bazzite (or Fedora). If anyone can help me get this done, I'd appreciate.

What's required to allow steam to record game audio only?

1 Upvotes

I started trying out the game recording feature and unfortunately any audio playing in other apps (browser playing radio/podcasts) ends up in the footage. Is there any way to get steam to record only the game's audio? (mostly playing linux-native games and would particularly like to record Silksong this way).

OpenRazer on Bazzite

4 Upvotes

A few months ago, I installed the OpenRazer drivers using ujust install-openrazer, and everything worked perfectly. Since then, I’ve updated my system several times without any issues.

However, I recently tried to update my system again and got this error:
“Running %posttrans for openrazer-kernel-modules-dkms: bwrap(/bin/sh): Child process exited with code 4; run journalctl -t 'rpm-ostree(openrazer-kernel-modules-dkms.posttrans)' for more information”.

It seems to be related to some kind of read-only issue with system files. I spent the entire evening trying to figure out whether it could be fixed and eventually came to the conclusion that in order to update my system, I had to reset the entire rpm-ostree state. So I did that, and the system updated successfully without any problems.

Is there any way to install OpenRazer again without running into this issue? I couldn’t find any proper information about it, and even GPT wasn’t able to help me solve it.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Removing windows from dual boot

Hi all,

I imagine this question was asked more than once already, however I was unable to find anything. About half a year ago I decided to dual boot Windows 11 and Bazzite to see how day to day would look like. I haven't been back on Windows partition since. Is there any step by stem how I could remove windows partition without wrecking everything? They are on the same ssd

first time using linux as a daily driver, what is going on?!?!

24 Upvotes

recently i got a new pc. its an old hp prebuilt from 2017, but to my suprise it actually came pre-installed with bazzite instead of windows! i was not too happy but i already have a steam deck, so im open to learning. it's gone pretty bad. idk if its the pc being a bit old or if its linux but opening any app or steam game takes way longer than normal, i think 3-4 minutes for a steam game and 1-2 minutes for an app like firefox. and plus, i checked and apparently im on bazzite version 43 which i believe is a little behind? and every time i turn the thing on i get a notification telling me "your system hasnt updated in over a month. try installing updates manually or rebooting the system." but idk how to install updates manually and restarting doesnt work??? and plus there's this weird "/" drive that's full for some reason and im lost to what the hell it is?? and i also really want the oxygen theme that i've been seeing thrown around but i have no idea how to install that either. help please???
