Problems performance games ?!

Hello, I'm new user to Bazzite and, more generally, to Linux gaming. My configuration is an i5 10600KF/RX 9060XT (16GB)/16GB DDR4 RAM/1TB SSD storage/1080p screen. I started Silent Hill F (GE-Proton 10-17). On ProtonDB, they say to use "gamemoderun %command%" to improve performance, but my game won't launch with this command (otherwise, it launches). In the game's graphics options, even with FSR enabled, I still experience stuttering and FPS drops. Can anyone help me? Thank you....

Desktop Movement

Hello all, just here from Windows. Ive booted up Bazzite and the desktop keeps moving. There is also a small white bar upper left that activates it. When it moves it makes a square in the middle of the screen and shows icons on the bottom, then when it moves away the square goes full screen and hides the icons. Ive tried searching for desktop effects and turning off zoom in accessibility but the movement continues. Is there a way to turn it off?

Dual Monitor quirks with Bazzite

I'm having some growing pains with Bazzite and my 2 monitors. I'm used to Windows making the taskbar be on the primary display or have it on both. In Bazzite I'm finding that the taskbar goes on the non-primary monitor. Is this common/designed as intended? To add to this I'm also routinely disable 1 monitor when I stream. For context I have a Elgato HD60X plugged into 1 of the monitors (Monitor 1) , I disable monitor 1 when I stream so I can lock everything to monitor 2 so if I need to open anything it will always open on monitor 2, when I disable monitor 1 in Bazzite the taskbar disappears entirely, doesn't matter which monitor was primary it will just disappear. When I re-enable monitor 1 it does go back to where it was but I find it weird. Is there something I can run to refresh/restart the UI to enable the taskbar?...

Please help! I can't boot! Emergency mode?

I tried to turn on my mini PC today, and I got an error saying it was going into Emergency Mode. I tried to follow the instructions here: https://docs.bazzite.gg/Advanced/rescue-and-emergency-mode/ Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get to the boot menu from there, and pressing Ctrl + D just gave me the error shown in red. I'm still a noob, so I'm pretty lost. Can anyone please help me get my system up and running again? ...

"Listen" to Elgato HD60X in Bazzite

I've got a more of a personalised question. I'm running the HD60X through my PC for streaming my Xbox Series X (XSX). While gaming I have the the XSX through my HD60X in "Listen to this device" so I can 1 hear what's going to stream and 2 for when I want to play off stream I can just hear it without changing headphones. So far I found that you can use Pulse Audio to enable Loopback with this command "pacmd load-module module-loopback latency_msec=1" but I'm wondering if there is a better way to...

Modding Help with Bazzite

So I am trying to mod fallout new vegas to do another playthrough on it and I am following Viva New Vegas as the modding guide. The problem is that when I try and run the install.sh file on my pc it keeps saying it cannot find the prefix for Fallout New Vegas. I have already enabled Proton 9.0-4 compatibility on steam, and I have even regenerated the prefix (i think I did so correctly, used ChatGPT for that lol) but it still does not work. Ostree is not compatible with Protontricks so I had to c...

Rebassing to bazzite-dx somehow defaults to gamescope-session (skipping sddm)

Quick context, this was originally a normal bazzite install, then went to bazzite-deck for a couple months, then back to bazzite:stable.. I just did a rebase to bazzite-dx:stable, and somehow rebooted into a gamescope session.. Trying to wrap my head around this one.. rpm-ostree does indeed show bazzite-dx as the only thing deployed: ``` rpm-ostree status 2025年09月29日 23時14分35秒...

How to rescale Steam Deck Performance Overlay

Running Bazzite on my HTPC on a 4K TV, but can't seem to change the scaling of the steam performance overlay, or the mouse cursor when it's present, in Gaming Mode. Any ideas on how I can change the scaling for both ? Every other part of the scaling is fine oddly enough....

System hangs while playing games.

Recently moved to bazzite. Little experience with Linux in general. Treat me as a newbie. Sometimes while playing games (modded minecraft, World of warcraft, steam games like project zomboid) the system hangs for a couple minutes. Audio keeps repeating on loop the last 0.5-1s that was playing when this happened, nothing can be done, mouse won't even move. Usually system recovers after few minutes and goes back to working normally as if nothing happened but sometimes a hard reset is necessary. I usually have YouTube playing on one screen (brave browser), Discord open on another and a game on the primary. I noticed that this issue seems to hit harder with more demanding games such as modded minecraft....

it's possible that you're running out with 16gb of RAM

5 questions about 4K TV, laptop battery and passwords

Hey! I'm slowly moving my computers from windows to bazzite after some experience with kinoite. I've encountered several issues but I'm not quite sure which part of the distro they are related to (DE, Fedora, ublue) or if they are known/worked on. Can you help me sort them out so I can report them if needed? Thanks! 1. I've got a bazzite install hooked up to my 4k tv but by default the scaling is nonexistent which makes both install, login and looking for the scaling menu a complete pain. Got that on both gnome and kde. Is there an auto scaling default in the works? Is it possible to set scaling globally per display? 2. For my tv, I usually use a passwordless account. I managed to set one up at install but then kde doesn't let me create new accounts with empty passwords or edit an existing one for a blank password. Is there a bypass for that?...

Bazzite Desktop - Unable to open Steam Overlay

I've been playing BG3 and normally I can Shift + Tab to open the steam overlay while playing the game. It seems after the latest patch I can no longer use that shortcut to open the overlay (i'm guessing it's because it has a linux native version now?). How can I open the steam overlay without using Shift + Tab?

Baby's first clicks

Hey all, I'm incredibly new to Linux as a platform, and have been trying desperately to troubleshoot my wifi for the past half an hour with any forums/tutorials already available here and elsewhere. The problem that I'm trying to solve is that my wifi USB adapter isn't showing up, and by proxy, Bazzite is saying that there's no available connections. If it helps, my USB Wifi adapter is a TP-Link Archer TX1800U Nano, if there are any compatibility issues. Could be as simple as me having to take a loss on this adapter and grabbing another compatible Wifi-6 USB adapter....

New Device Ayaneo Flip 1s KB

Hey guys, just got a flip 1s KB and was wondering if you guys were interested in helping solve a few problems? What I’ve observed so far: * performance overlay not reading W usage for CPU correctly (attached photo of it showing 0W) * two buttons can’t seem to be mapped (custom ones next to shoulder) * potentially TDP limit not working? (Might be linked to not reading Watts usage correctly)...
