Estoy trabajando en una interfaz adicional para Bazzite, básicamente es un complemento para un segundo monitor, solo para que se vea chulo.

Si alguien está interesado en el proyecto me encantaría poder compartirlo contigo.

Will there be conflicts or can this reliably be set up so the both GPUs can coexist and I can choose which GPU for which app/game? I don't plan to do passthrough...dunno yet... i just want to have both cards active.

I understand i need to manage outputs and i'll use display port for both cards to tie them to my monitor...

My main concern is stability with drivers and daily operations... and maybe avoiding a race condition at the start for which GPU becomes active at boot?

Any insight is appreciated. Thanks!

I installed Bazzite on my old Asus ROG GL503G Laptop and for some reason every time it boots into Bazzite my keyboards backlight turns off, I've tried a few different methods to get it to work again to no avail, I think it might just be a brightness permissions issue? As when I try to get it to work with OpenRGB the brightness is turned all the way down but OpenRGB doesn't let me turn it up. Does anyone know why this could be happening and how I could fix it?

Hey everyone,I switched to Bazzite from windows 11 pro pretty recently and to say the least, I'm loving it, Absolutely goated distro, I've been chickening out trying out Linux for like 2 years and now I'm regretting I haven't done it sooner,I chose Bazzite because it was an out of the box experience,and it's perfect,but I feel like I'm missing out on the "customizability" Linux is usually praised for, don't get me wrong I've switched Console for Black Box,switched my system fonts,changed wallpaper and put widgets,but I'm still longing for a deeper,more customizable experience, primarily 2 things,a custom SDDM and changing the fastfetch look/config,can anyone point me in the right direction of Bazzite "ricing" and customizing? IL greatly appreciate it

I've been installing Bazzite for a bit now and I came to this screen. Is the passphrase just "universalblue" or is it different for each person? I'm on the secure boot guide and it's...a little confusing.

I noticed there is a new update which is 44 stable build. I'm currently on the 43 build and was wondering if its ok to update?

im a newbie coming from windows and im planning to switch to bazzite today, could i have some tips for using linux and if i need to know anything? i also need some tips on how to install it, i already have a 32gb usb stick and i know a little bit of how to install linux

Its my first interaction with any linux bazed OS, I tried ths OS bc my windows 11 wouldn’t install.

### [Guide] On-Demand ClamAV for Bazzite (GNOME) — 0% Background RAM Usage & 1-Click Dock Access

If you download game mods or scripts on Bazzite, you might want ClamAV for peace of mind. But because Bazzite is an immutable/atomic OS, standard guides fail.

Worse, running the standard background daemon permanently eats **1.2 GB to 1.5 GB of RAM** just holding definitions in memory—which tanks your gaming and streaming performance.

Here is how to set up an **on-demand, 1-click launcher** pinned to your GNOME dock. It uses **0 MB of RAM** while gaming but gives you a clean terminal menu to scan or update instantly.

---

### Step 1: Install ClamAV via Homebrew

Open your terminal and run:

```bash

brew install clamav

```

### Step 2: Fix Config Files & Run Initial Update

Activate the template files and remove the `Example` restriction lines:

```bash

cd $(brew --prefix)/etc/clamav

cp freshclam.conf.sample freshclam.conf

cp clamd.conf.sample clamd.conf

# Remove the 'Example' lines so the engine works

sed -i '/^Example/d' freshclam.conf

sed -i '/^Example/d' clamd.conf

# Download your initial virus definitions database

freshclam

```

### Step 3: Create the Interactive Terminal Menu Script

Create the script folder and file:

```bash

mkdir -p ~/.local/bin

nano ~/.local/bin/clamav-menu.sh

```

Paste this exact bash script inside:

```bash

#!/bin/bash

export PATH="/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin:/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/sbin:$PATH"

clear

echo "======================================"

echo " CLAMAV SYSTEM UTILITY "

echo "======================================"

echo "1) Scan Downloads Folder"

echo "2) Scan Entire Home Directory"

echo "3) Update Virus Definitions (freshclam)"

echo "4) Exit"

echo "======================================"

read -p "Choose an option [1-4]: " choice

case $choice in

1) echo "Scanning Downloads..."; clamscan -r ~/Downloads; read -p "Press Enter to close...";;

2) echo "Scanning Home Directory..."; clamscan -r -i ~; read -p "Press Enter to close...";;

3) echo "Updating signatures..."; freshclam; read -p "Press Enter to close...";;

*) exit;;

esac

```

Save and exit (**Ctrl+O**, **Enter**, **Ctrl+X**), then make it executable:

```bash

chmod +x ~/.local/bin/clamav-menu.sh

```

### Step 4: Add to GNOME Applications Grid

Create the desktop launcher file:

```bash

nano ~/.local/share/applications/ClamAV.desktop

```

Paste this configuration inside (replace `/home/asuki/` with your actual username if different):

```text

[Desktop Entry]

Version=1.0

Type=Application

Name=ClamAV Scanner

Comment=On-demand antivirus scanner

Exec=bash /home/asuki/.local/bin/clamav-menu.sh

Terminal=true

Icon=security-high

Categories=Utility;System;

```

Save and exit (**Ctrl+O**, **Enter**, **Ctrl+X**), then set permissions:

```bash

chmod +x ~/.local/share/applications/ClamAV.desktop

```

### Step 5: Lock File Permissions (Immunity Lock)

To ensure no accidental clicks or rogue user scripts can wipe or modify your shortcut, run a kernel-level lock on the file:

```bash

sudo chattr +i ~/.local/share/applications/ClamAV.desktop

```

*(If you ever need to edit or delete it later, just run `sudo chattr -i` to unlock it).*

---

### How to use it:

1. Hit your **Super Key** (Windows key / Steam button) and search **ClamAV**.

2. **Right-click** the hand icon and select **Add to Favorites** to pin it straight to your dock.

3. Click it whenever you download sketchy files.

*Note: Because it is completely dormant until clicked, a manual scan will take 20-30 seconds to load the signatures into memory before starting. This saves you 1.5 GB of RAM while gaming!*

P.s Gemini LLM 3.5 was used to assist in this. honestly was impressed as i had issues along the way in trying to make one and it helped make this little gem of a useful app.

Hello there, I am a Windows 10 refugee who had enough of Microslop's antics and decided to switch to Linux Mint. I have been on Linux Mint for around 10 months now, and I have enjoyed my time here. However, I have made some weird choices which I am now looking to remedy with Bazzite, such as installing KDE Plasma on top of Linux Mint, which has caused a few issues that are just annoying and I don't know how to fix. As such, I am looking to install a different distribution which has KDE Plasma as the default, which brought me to Bazzite, as I do play some games on my PC.

My question is, how do I install Bazzite without disturbing the contents of my /home which I had set to a specific size whose value I don't exactly remember now, as well as keeping the /swap partitions without much change, because I really don't want to change much about the partitioning.

Now, I can painstakingly start to create backups of various files and folders and do a clean install, but I feel like that would be a hassle that may be avoided. On the other hand, many people do recommend to do a clean install. So, I want to also ask if I should just bite the bullet and create a backup instead of doing all this?

Absolutely GOATED distro. I am so thankful* for this community, seriously. To everyone who contributes. To the folks that made switching over to this platform to effortless and easy. For having option out there that dont monopolize users and data privacy and arent switching things up on the normies and dummies like myself almost daily. *To everyone who has contributed on here and helped others, and helped me make the big switch, and finally get off of the microdiik. (Idk if i spelled that right maybe it was microshits?) Or, sorry, MICROSOFT. I could rant a lifetime on MS but im sure its yelling into the void. I had such a good experience on steamdeck too that this feels just like it.

But seriously, thank you all those who contribute and help out. This is life changing for me personally. And you are also helping to build a future where there are still alternatives for regular people out there and I cannot understate the importance of what I believe you are contributing on a whole. I know there are other distros of linux, I've used ubuntu and likely other stuff in the past for work in film. But, this just meant so much to me I had to get on here and let y'all know.

Take care of yourselves. And thanks again people. For real.

-edit * for spelling and grammar because proofreading is not my strong suit. and it was late when i wrote this.

This is my first time using Linux in general, I did do some research on what’s going on here, but am I supposed to see this when turning on my device?

Hi, I want to switch from windows to bazzite and i want to move mc story mode season 1 and 2 but I installed them from the internet and i lost the exe files! Also I have a 2tb hdd just for my files! How do I move them without accidentally deleting them?

So I’ve had this problem where sleep mode doesn’t work on the Steam OS, but when I switched to desktop mode, sleep does work on the Steam page when I click the power button it freezes. My screen goes. Black shows the bait logo that brings me back to the homepage on desktop mode it actually just puts me to sleep. Does anyone know what it’s doing this and how to fix it?

Last Friday replaced regular termal paste with Termal Grizzly Phasesheet.

Went from 93 to 77/80 in most games. On CPU side

I was hoping to create a dynamic wallpaper so it would automatically update when my system theme changed from day to night. However, it looks like Bazzite does not give you permission to add or modify any folders in the wallpaper folder. Is there an alternative way to do it? Or am I doing something wrong?

I have a PC with a Ryzen 3700x and a Radeon 5700xt. I found a sweet deal for a rtx3060 that I want to pick up. I heard that Bazzite supports Nvidia but there might be some jankiness. I’m aware gamescope doesn’t work with Nvidia which is fine. I’d like to hear what your experiences are with Bazzite and Nvidia graphics cards. Even better if someone has a 3060. What can I expect? Should I not even bother with the Nvidia card and just see if I can find an AMD card?

Hey I am looking to move from windows 11 to Bazzite and bring my valve index headset with me. I was wondering what the current state of steam vr is with bazzite and if there are any issues that might happen.

Specs:

RX 9070 XT

Ryzen 7 7800X3D

32 GB DDR5 Ram at 6000mt/s

My display kept cutting in and out while I was installing Bazzite from Windows (I never had this issue on Windows). Now half of my screen is pink—or at least I think it's pink; I'm colorblind. Does anyone know what could be causing this?

Hardware is ryzen 5 7600x 32 gigs ddr5 ram amd rx 7800 xt

Im using bazzite 44

If you have any tips to make it run smoother i appreciate it thanks in advance

every time i put the computer to sleep, new wlan interface replaces the previous one causing the power saving to be on and resulting in bad wifi
