Desktop freezes, becomes unresponsive.

I just got bazzite installed on an old pre-built I've got. Sometimes when I boot and get to the desktop, it doesn't appear that I'm able to interact with anything. I can move the cursor around, but the icons don't change when I mouse over them and I can't get anything to open. Yesterday I was able to get rocket League started through steam. I alt-tabbed because the controller didn't work and when I did, the desktop froze again. The music from rocket League continued to play though. ...

Mouse buttons stop working during gaming

Dealing with a weird problem. Sometimes during gaming (Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 on Steam) certain windows become unresponsive to LMB/RMB. Sometimes it's the game itself, mostly its 2nd monitor windows such as Discord or my browser. A quick restart of the application fixes the problem but obviously that's annoying to have to do. Mouse is completely normal in all other windows so it's not an issue with the mouse itself. Anybody know what this could be caused by? Additional info: mouse is Logitech MX Master 3S via BT, ISO is the Nvidia Plasma KDE, browser in question is Firefox. Only installed Bazzite 2 days ago, so beyond installing a few applications from Discovery and games from Steam/Epic, no major modifications were done to the environment....

All images after `stable-41.20250127` are broken for me on Nvidia

My current setup has an HDMI switch with my PS5 and my desktop. Whenever I launch a game from stable-41.20250131 onwards, all HDMI output from my desktop just drops. This works fine on stable-41.20250127, which is on the nvidia 565 drivers. Can someone help me out with this please? I am rolling back now, but not sure if it's a bug with the drivers or something that's gone wrong with my system and needs fixing.

Feral gamemode removed?

Hey, I just noticed that Feral gamemode was removed from the latest Bazzite image. Should I be using something else instead now? I couldn't find any indication as to why this was removed in the changelog, github or discord. I used gamemode for many of its features, including setting cpu governor, renicing, setting iopriority, and enabling/disabling scx_lavd. I'm running bazzite-nvidia-open:stable 41.20250206 on my desktop.

TF2 Stutters on LeGo

Hey all, having some stutters, and whenever my game stutters, my cpu and GPU wattage go way down. I don't think it's thermal throttling, as my temps are ok and it only happens for a moment. This is only happening in a few games so far, specifically Palworld, witcher 3, and TF2. Both games are on my SD card. I'm playing on a Legion Go, if that helps.

Performance bug - Steam recordings affecting frametime

Hello team. Just updated to the latest version of Bazzite (Feb 6, 2025) and I noticed something weird about my games' performance: every single game was very stuttery. After some basic troubleshooting, I noticed that what was affecting is Steam recording being enabled; however, this was working perfectly fine before updating the system. I have attached a video to show you the issue in action. Regards!...

Gnome desktop - how to make ALT + SHIFT work as an input method switcher?

I like how when switching input methods with SUPER + SPACE has a preview OSD with the methods you are cycling, how can I add ALT + SHIFT to be a shortcut that works too? I've tried a few things like gnome tweaks (doesn't change the indicator in tray or show the OSD) as well as a command to tweak the shortcuts via terminal which doesn't seem to work at all (

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-input-source-backward "['<Alt>Shift_L','<Shift>Alt_L']"
). ...
