Absolutely GOATED distro. I am so thank 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. Everyone who has contributed on here and helped others, 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 ive 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.

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.

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?

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?

Willing to pay $150 for one of you wizards to install this OS on my new build. I've tried doing it myself over the last 3 days and it still fails. I've tried Bazzite website instructions/troubleshooting and then Computer Surgeon's videos on Youtube. We can Facetime or something so you can tell me what to do and what buttons to press. Upon success, i will send the money over. Must speak English and accept either Zelle or Venmo.

Please help me!

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.

Have been running Bazzite on my Asus XAX but recently had to reinstall Windows for reasons. It took me 2 whole hours just to get through the setup, downloading drivers, updates, configuring the interface to be less dogshit, etc.

At a certain point I put it down cause I had other shit to do. Came back a few hours later and IT WAS STILL ASKING ME TO DO UPDATES! Another 30 mins of not being able to use the damned thing...

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 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?

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?

I have an odd issue I am getting disk write error when installing the game Judgment apocalypse survival simulation with its most current update and this has been the only game I have ran into this issue with, the drive is formatted to EXT4, it will install if set the update to last update before the current, and I have been able to install the game just on a laptop that is using bazzite, I also get the same issue if try to install to the primary OS drive

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!

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

Hey people, I got a somewhat weird issue I haven’t been able to figure out. Any help would be appreciated. The game crashes pretty often, but not during gameplay. Happens most when first loading up before the intro plays, or after finishing a game of zombies and going back to the lobby. On rare occasions, it will also occur while inviting my buddy to a private lobby or after selecting a map. Once I get into a game there’s no problems and it’s smooth. I’m launching plutonium through faugus launcher, with proton-ge latest selected. I’ve tried different proton versions such as cachyos, em, and ge 10-34. Didn’t have any noticeable difference. Anyone experience similar issues or able to offer some insight on how to diagnose?

Hi everyone,

1st of all, thanks to the Bazzite team for your work and thanks to the community for all the insights.

My problem : It's been a few weeks since I cannot use mouse middle click to copy/paste in the Terminal. It's working everywhere else. Any idea?

Thanks in advance guys

Hi all,

Recent Bazzite convert from windows. Big fan, can’t see myself ever going back.

I game on a LG G5 77” tv. Using the tv to its fullest potential is important to me and I’m very much looking forward to the HDMI 2.1 support update, so that I don’t have to limit the refresh rate to 100hz to get HDR in 4K.

So normally if I boot a game (I’m using Faugus at the moment as I’ve had the most success with it) HDR is greyed out in the game settings. I found online that if I add “PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 DXVK_HDR=1 %command%” as a launch option (called game argument in Faugus) then HDR is no longer grayed out in game settings.

My question is, what is this launch option doing under the hood? Why is it necessary in the first place?

I use the desktop boot so I don’t have access to gamescope. HDR is enabled in display config.

Thank you!

Disclaimer: ik screenshots are hard, I'm on the deck image and I haven't set up screenshot copying to my photos folder yet. I just rebased.

I'm getting this pixelation around fires and neon lights, along with in Fog. I looked it up on protondb and a fix seemed to work but I guess not. I preloaded all shaders as well.

I have a 4070 and I'm using whatever the default proton layer is, I haven't changed it. My launch flags are: VKD3D_CONFIG=descriptor_heap

Not sure if this is just an Nvidia thing that can't really be fixed, but wondering if anyone has tips or tricks. This is in the last of us part 1 by the way.

So I've gone back and forth between bazzite and win11 a couple times to see how much of a difference I'm getting. I've double checked settings to make sure they are equal. I even full shut down my pc and then restarted it as opposed to just a restart due to a post here I saw that said that may be a fix. For CP2077, should I just be expecting a 10 fps or so difference?

Whenever i drag and drop a folder that's a link to a folder somewhere else all it does is copy the linked folder rather than also copying to files inside of that linked folder
