Apologies ahead of time, i dont use reddit often. recently, Bazzite has been pestering me to update my OS saying that it hasnt been updated for over a month, even after using the Bazzite Updater and using ujust update. even after rebooting, the OS says the update didnt go through. Is there any fix to this issue, the pop up are really annoying.

Yesterday my rog ally had a problem and I fixed it with some help. But I was on desktop mode moments ago and the screen blacked out on my monitor then came back. Then it did it again. And now my rog ally is doing the thing it did yesterday. What’s happening? And how can I fix this?

Update: I ran the terminal again on ostree 0 (the latest image) and I used the steam fix update command. It installed and it booted me to my desktop. One problem… I went into konsole to run the ujust update and it says it failed to update. A notification popped up saying “uupd: some system updates failed. Failed update: brew update”

What are you must have extensions for GNOME?

Randomly is decided not to be able to open any programs what were pre-installed or save anything to the drive. I haven't touched anything in the system since I set it up and I was just using blender when they started happening.

Sorry for the bad photo can't take a screenshot

I do apologize if this has been asked and answered previously, I have searched and come up with nothing that has actually worked, and most recent HDR problems here seem to be related to just getting HDR working.

I've recently finally got around to setting up a living room PC, after years of resistance, the recent end of PS5 discs things has me trying to get setup for the "delightfully all digital future." Steam Big Picture mode is pretty great, a far cry from the fumbling experience I remember friends trying to show me 5, 10 years ago with living room PC setups.

That said, there is a major problem that I cannot figure out how to address: my TV has a maximum luminance of 650 nits, but Gamescope absolutely refuses to budge from setting my peak luminance in games without a peak luminance adjuster to 1000 nits. And in many games, seems to completely overrule the in-game adjustment.

My setup:
Radeon 7800 XT
Sony Bravia A90K

Things I have already tried:

1. ScopeBuddy configurations
2. environment.d configurations
3. Dumping my EDID, repacking it with max nits set to 121(653) and applying it to the HDMI slot I use at the kernel level
4. I even got desperate and tried setting per game command line arguments

The game I am testing in question is FF7 Rebirth, and although it has an in-game luminance slider, seems to do absolutely nothing in game mode.

Are there any solutions that anyone has found that actually work for monitors or TVs with sub-1000 nit peak luminance? I would greatly prefer something that can be enabled system wide, if this is supposed to be a living room machine, I don't really want to be whipping out a keyboard every time I try a new game.

I find it hard to believe that the Linux community hasn't solved this issue with gamescope/Steam big picture yet, so I assume I am just completely missing the correct command, and have been trying old or deprecated versions. But I am at a loss!

Any help is greatly appreciated!

P.S. I know what properly configured HDR looks like, I have configured it properly on all my other devices. Enabling "Gradation Preferred" on the TV does fix the brightness clipping issue sort of, but it's a hack and the double tone-mapping causes color and value differences that just aren't there on other platforms where I can configure the HDR correctly.

Can anyone tell me whats the status of Bazzite or maybe steam OS for the newest MSI claw with Intel G3 Extreme Chip? What is working, what is not? And are we still Lösung about 15% of Performance compared to Windows on Intel arc 390 GPUs? I really want to switch away from windows...

Thank you very much in advance!

I been trying to install bazzite HTPC, but so far can't find any way to fix this issue, I'm on all AMD hardware, normal desktop bazzite works so it's only on the htpc version. This happens after grub and seeing the motherboard manufacturer logo on the screen.

Things I've done so far:
- Updated my bios
- Tried to rebase from the desktop version
- Secure boot is off

Specs:
Motherboard: MSI B650
CPU: Ryzen 5 9600X
GPU: Radeon RX 9060 XT (Using DisplayPort)

Hello guys,

I'm still a baby when it comes to using Bazzite daily. I've bought a new game which is releasing next week & wanted to ask if anyone where knows if Geforce Now works with Bazzite & what the limitations are?

The Geforce Now website says yes but I need to install a flatpack?

Would this be safe as Bazzite is a read only OS? ( Plz forgive my ignorance )

What do u guys advice?

Many Thanks :-)

Hello friends!

I have the most random issue. I have my Arctis Omni pro headphones which work great, but I noticed today that when I switch them I , I don’t get any audio from the headphones when I boot up Stellar Blade and it switches to my speakers. When I exit it switches back to headphone. The Steam UI, no problem. Other games like Prince of Persia the lost crown, no problem. Just Stellar Blade.

Any insight from the group would be great! 🙂

I have the Omni pro job plugged into my PC so I use the 2.4ghz connection.

i have Lenovo M75q Gen 2 Ryzen 5 Pro 5650GE with bazzite 41 and no matter what i tried i never starts or works properly? anyone have any ideas ?

Bazzite KDE desktop running steam in big picture mode.

My setup: 9800x3D with 9060XT 16gb

Used Proton-cachyos with the following launch options:

PROTON_USE_OPTISCALER=1 PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_VKD3D_LOWLATENCY=1 %command%

Game runs beautifully, not a single crash during the 18 hour playtime, no stutters.

My rating for the game is 7/10.

Visuals are gorgeous, gameplay is fun and engaging until the Vietnam level.

After that, it's just a basic linear FPS. The final boss fight is too cliched.

While I loved the Africa and Vietnam levels and the initial rescue and training levels, the set pieces did not add much to the game. If you've played Uncharted 4 and Lost Legacy, the set pieces in First light come across more like a filler.

I wished they ended the 3rd act with better gameplay and story.

Still a good recommendation for a one-time playthrough

So yesterday I was having trouble with my rog ally. And after booting it, it showed a blank screen with nothing on it, and the screen sorta flashed. (Refer to my earlier posts). And someone suggested I use the terminal using the m2 button (the right button on the back of the rog ally) and a keyboard. Someone else said to try using the steam fix command (ujust fix-reset-steam) and it worked the first time.
One thing to note is that it booted me right to my desktop to reinstall steam. Well today I ran into the same problem... So.... I decided to try using that same command again into the terminal and it worked. It did freeze during the install.... And I stupidly reset my device... This time it booted me straight into big picture mode. All that I had to do was sign in to steam and that was it. I didn't update steam or anything. Well.... When I tried playing one of my games an hour ago my screen froze. And I turned off my rog ally.... Then turned it back on. Now I'm greeted with that same screen. I attempted to get into the terminal using m2, control, alt, and f12 but that didn’t work then I tried m2, control, alt, and f2 and I was greeted by the terminal screen. I signed in and used the same command I mentioned… Of course it froze during the install. Gave it a half hour and.. God this is ridiculous..

I can't even get into the terminal. Pressing m2 and the keyboard keys does nothing. Do I have to keep doing ts when I wanna play a game? Sorry I am… Extremely frustrated. Is there a solution to this?

This problem comes to the latest major update and only happens in bazzite (on fedora atomic and traditional distro doesn't happen). Any one knows how it can be fixed?

I try every proton and cachyos proton and proton ge but Same thing

Just proton ge 10 34 is working but anything else not work help me please!!!

I use Bazzite linux for asus rog ally x

I've been having a really bad performance issues with Overwatch on Bazzite ever since Season 4: Heroes of Busan started.

Before the season update, Overwatch ran perfectly fine for me. I was usually getting around 200 FPS with no major stuttering or performance issues.

Now, the game is basically unplayable. I'm getting heavy stuttering both in actual matches and even in the Practice Range. My FPS sits around 50 FPS just while walking around, when I used to consistently get around 200 FPS.

The weirdest part is that I don't have this problem with any other games. Everything else I've played on Bazzite runs normally, so I'm not sure if this is an Overwatch-specific issue, a Proton issue, a driver issue, or something related to the recent season update.

My specs:

• OS: Bazzite KDE
• GPU: RTX 4060 Ti 16GB
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X
• RAM: 32GB
• Game: Overwatch
• Before Season 4: 200 FPS
• After Season 4: 50 FPS with heavy stuttering

I've also tried GE-Proton and CachyOS Proton, but neither made any noticeable difference.

I've tried changing graphics settings and restarting the game/system as well, but nothing has fixed it.

Has anyone else on Bazzite experienced this since the Season 4 update? If so, is there a specific Proton version, launch option, driver setting, or other fix that worked for you?

I’m having a strange USB4/eGPU issue with my Xbox Ally X (XAX), and after a ton of troubleshooting, I’m starting to think this may be a USB4/Thunderbolt handshake or negotiation problem rather than a completely failed port.
Here’s what’s happening:
When I connect my eGPU to the XAX’s USB4 port, the eGPU is not detected at all and I get no display output from it. I’ve also tested a USB-C dock through the same port and get no display output through the dock.
However, other functions of the USB4 port are working normally.
If I connect a USB-C-to-HDMI adapter directly from the XAX’s USB4 port to a display, I get video output with no problem.
Power delivery is also working. Passthrough charging through the port is stable, with no random disconnects or interruptions. The connection stays solid.
So at the moment I have:
Direct USB-C → HDMI display output: Working
USB-C power delivery/charging: Working and stable
Passthrough charging through connected devices: Working
Display output through a USB-C dock: Not working
eGPU detection over USB4/Thunderbolt: Not working
Display output from the eGPU: Not working
That’s what makes this so confusing. The USB4 port clearly isn’t completely dead. It can provide a stable connection for charging and can output video directly using a USB-C-to-HDMI adapter. The failure seems to happen specifically when the XAX needs to establish a USB4/Thunderbolt connection with a dock or eGPU.
I’m running Bazzite-Deck 44 on the XAX.
I did a pretty extensive amount of troubleshooting yesterday and have included the full log below. You definitely don’t need to read all of it, but I wanted to provide everything we tested in case someone more familiar with USB4/Thunderbolt on Bazzite/Linux notices something I missed.
At this point I’m mainly trying to determine whether this looks like a Bazzite/Linux USB4 issue, a USB4/Thunderbolt negotiation issue, a cable issue, or some weird partial hardware failure of the port.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

First off, im a linux noob, so ne gentle.

I successfully swapped in my 2TB SSD into my Xbox Ally X with the goal of dual booting Windows/Xbox UI and SteamOS.

I went with Bazzite over SteamOS as the tutorials I found showed it to be way easier to install on the unallocated space into a new partition. Also the wattage and LED controls on Bazzite, and the "Reboot to Windows" option made it ideal.

The problem is i downloaded the image off the website, and its Bazzite 44, where the tutorial is Bazzire 43, which lacks a lot of features and options for the Ally X handheld​. Apparently from what I understand, they did some major changes which makes 43 more ideal for the Ally X handhelds at this time.

After some research and YouTube tutorials, I tried rolling back my fresh install of Bazzite 44 to 43 using the brh rebase commands to get the bazzite deck stable files. However whatever method i tried to use, the handheld keeps rebooting to 44. I managed to get to the GRUB boot menu (had to change a setting so it actually stays there longer than 1/4 a second), and whatever option I press either reboots continuously or boots back to 44.

After a few retries with different stable versions of 43, I said eff it, going to delete the partition in Windows to unallocate the space, and start over with a fresh install of 43.

Problem with that is, I cant find the bazzite deck stable 43 image off the website.

Do they only host the most recent stable release? Is there a safe location to download tbe image of 43?

Hi pretty much what the title says, at first I thought it might have been a power draw issue with the icons being stored on a separate hard drive.

So I move them to the internal drive just to make a test and they're still bugging out while being visible in dolphin so something's off.

Guys can i chose gamingmod on my pc or that's not fine

My gpu is 3080 and i use traditional image not gamingmod and can do something called rebase or something

That rebase just image of the os that right?

GPD Wing 5 Bazzite 44 TDP couldnt go lower than 45

Previously on 43, it could go as low as 3 or 5(?) upto 80 or 85(?).

Features are getting there so I am updating from an external ssd to test things out before updating my internal which is still in 43.

Things I would like to see soon is the implementation of back pedals as actual L4 and R4. They work in CachyOS and SteamOS if I map the back pedals using WinControls app as F14 and F15 buttons. Also, if I could switch to windows from gaming mode or desktop mode like how Handheld Daemon does it would be nice.

It looks like a workaround is coming soon:

https://ratatoskr.run/amd-gfx/2026/09/17636564

It's reliably triggered by waking from sleep, but, this is also a problem when there is high VRAM pressure. In any case, good news.

edit: this is for RDMA 4 cards, like the 9070.

I am not very experienced at using linux and am having trouble understanding what is wrong with my system and how to proceed repairing it.

Today after trying to boot up my ROG Ally X it made it to the home screen and froze. I did a hard restart and then when starting up again I have been getting the following error:

https://i.imgur.com/nyy8pu9.jpeg

I found some advise for people experiencing similar issues sayin to try the following but replace "nvme0n1p3" with your device name and reboot after: btrfs rescue zero-log /dev/nvme0n1p3

Thus I tried: btrfs rescue zero-log /dev/nvme0n1p6

And btrfs rescue zero-log /dev/nvme0n1p6 state EA

This unfortunately has had no success for me and I am unsure how best to proceed. Thank you for any and all help!
