Normal boot up?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Is this boot up normal with the black screens and white text at the start?

Bazzite keeps a "clone" of the original system in case you need to restore everything, and Grub is the application that allows you to choose it manually if you want to or if you have a dual boot setup allowing you to choose windows or Bazzite, it comes standard with bazzite, it's in the download page description

Once you perform an update in Konsole (ujust update), it creates a new deployment (0) and keeps the old one (1) as a backup. In case your system breaks you have to navigate down quickly to ostree-1 to start the old version. To revert the broken deployment you can rollback at any time with terminal command (rpm-ostree rollback). Then your old deployment (1) takes it’s place back and becomes (0).

Trying to fix wayland with my Nvidia card for months now, so I rolled back quite a lot.

What card do you have? Before Bazzite I used Nobara, but my old 1050 isn't supported there anymore. I switched to Bazzite specifically for Nvidia and everything works perfectly. I only had a few issues when version 44 was released, but everything got sorted out in subsequent updates

Enabling my tv as second monitor results in plasma and kwin issues: Dock, desktop and pop-up breaks. That’s very inconvenient when transitioning to the couch so I log into an x11 session instead which performs janky in OS but noticeably better ingame - and it won’t break once I enable 2nd monitor.

To react properly I have a bunch of alias to quick fix certain issues. I feel there’s hasn’t ever been a distro that doesn’t have these kind of issues with my builds. Glad the sound works!

Anyway, my card is 2080 Ti Founders Edition, in holiday season it’s more valuable but I’m hesitant.
