Sleep issues

Hej I am having the best time with Bazzite for months! Most things run smooth but I have one issue: if I turn off my monitor or let it go to sleep, the computer can’t recover and I have to restart it. Is there a workaround?...

Scaling after rebasing

I rebased from bazzite-nvidia-open:stable to bazzite-dx-nvidia:stable. Prior to rebasing, scaling worked as I wanted it to. I have scaling set to 120%, because otherwise everything was too small for my liking on 100%. When I rebased, most apps became quite blurry, including Discord, Steam, games (every game I've tested is limited to 1600x900). You can clearly see in the pic that text is less clear compared to the desktop elements. I also attached a pic of my display settings. Keep in mind, my se...

OBS Studio refuses to give me correct screen resolution

Dual booted Win11 with Bazzite. Nothing but problems from the start, but I stay optimistic. Pull the drives out of machine. Put them back in one by one so Windows has no choice but to install itself on the only available SSD and after that Bazzite had zero issues installing. PRIOR to that everything was working 100% perfectly in Bazzite. But now I fresh install applications back on the OS again. Boot OBS from clean install and it does not cope well at all. Says my recording resolution needs to be 6678x3756. When I click to try and change that, only get to choose from 426x240 up to 1022x576. The next reso available is the prementioned leviathan variant. WHY is it doing so when my Samsung Odyssey G5 34'' display only goes up to 3840x2160 as is currently set?...

Keyboard and mouse not working during install

So with the looming forced windows 11 update I decided to go Linux. I've seen several youtubers using Bazzite with great results. So I've downloaded the iso and used Rufus to create a USB installer. However when the installer loads I cannot use my mouse or keyboard to do anything. Both work in Windows, the BIOS, and on the live boot of PoP OS. I'm using a Ryzen 5 5600, Radeon RX 6650 XT, 32 Gigs of Ram on a Gigabyte A520M S2H motherboard....
Solution:
Okay, seems I got it fixed. Had to unplug and plug both back in twice. Sadly I cannot fully go through the install at this moment because I still need Windows for a few minor things. I'll be buying a new SSD in a few weeks just for Linux so I can switch between the two.

second monitor native resolution suddenly not available

hi all, just checking in if this is an issue anyone else has encountered - as of my latest reboot today, my second monitor is only reporting a max res of 1280x720@60hz instead of the 1920x1080@100hz that it was running at for months, both in the kde settings panel and xrandr. only recent configuration change was i installed nushell via brew? couldn't see any open (or closed) issues pertaining to this kind of thing. have tried the obvious things like powercycling the monitor, rebooting. gpu is a rtx3060. thought it might have been kernel modeset flag getting randomly flipped to off or something but: ~> sudo cat /sys/module/nvidia_drm/parameters/modeset Y ...

Screen flicker/tearing

In gaming mode ui, it flickers/tears. It only happens in the gaming mode ui when I am not touching my mouse, and it goes back to normal when I move it around. I have a nvidia gpu, and running it on a desktop (on a hard drive). The flicker doesn’t happen in desktop mode or while playing a game, only on the gaming mode ui. I don’t have a HDR display, and it’s at 60hz.

Performance issues and crashing

Unable to select different door drives in Grub.

I'm dual booting bazz with win11. I was trying to make a shortcut on my desktop to reboot me into win11 ;like how on steam you can hop back to steam in game mode when on desktop; and viscera on win11. For some reason in the Grub booter it doesn't recognize the keyboard to select win11. I checked the keyboard and it worked fine after booting...

Game mode black screen with sound on RTX 3060

Whenever trying to start into game mode, i just get a black screen with a frozen white cursor in the top left. I can hear the startup sound, and even blindly navigate big picture while hearing all the UI sounds. I'm a bit unsure as to what to do.

Resolution/aspect ratio issues when running non-game apps in Game mode on Legion go

When running desktop apps in game mode, the screen resolution and aspect ratio is for some reason not set to the native 2600x1600, even when the resolution is set in the game properties. The apps seem to have random aspect ratios and resolutions for some reason. I've tried changing the resolution in properties, maximizing the apps in desktop mode, setting the programs to use their own resolution and system resolution in desktop mode, none of these have made any changes. Nested desktop has a simi...

How to mimic the macOS Caps Lock behavior?

Is there a way to mimic the macOS Caps Lock behavior—where a single tap switches the input method (which defaults to Left Shift on Windows and Linux), and a long press activates Caps Lock? I have tried to remap the "Temporally switch between first and current input method" key but it will switch the input method as well active the caps lock. I also tried to disable the caps lock key in keyboard-key binding section but the caps lock key is... disabled....

iLok on Bazzite?

Hi all, I've tried a couple things like trying to use Lutris or Wine to install iLok Device Manager, but I'm running into the installs failing. I know this is pretty far outside what the distro is intended for, but is it still possible to install the app in some way that I haven't thought of? I'm a relative Linux noob, so I'm a bit unsure of where to look besides Bazaar, Wine, Flathub, and dnf.

No audio

Just recently switched to bazzite for my new pc. Got it loaded up, no audio. HDMI audio doesn’t work, I don’t have audio through the headphone jack and Bluetooth headphones don’t work. I’m very new to bazzite and am a beginner at Linux mint. Thanks...

Booting bazzite shows the boot up video for a split second, then just goes black

While this bug is annoying, it doesn't really affect my performance, i'd still like some sort of fix components: Asrock A320M HDV R4.0 Ryzen 5 5500 Radeon rx 7600 (ASUS)...

Duplicated Git history when using Jetbrains IDEA (other JB editors possibly affected)

After installing Jetbrains Toolbox from ujust setup-jetbrains-toolbox, and installing IDEA, there's two IDEAs in the Toolbox list, both of which "link" to the same one. Also when having any project with GIt open, it will detect another local branch within the same project, duplicating all commits of your actual branch. The first branch is at /(project path), and the next branch is at /var/(project path)....

Sleep not working on MSI Claw A8 (Z2e)

Hi, currently I'm having a problem with sleep function in Bazzite. Controller and touch screen will stop working when waking up from sleep, and no RGB light/LED indicator either. The only way to get to Bazzite again is to hard reset by holding down the power button for 20s. I've updated the Controller firmware and BIOS to latest version from MSI (not sure if that's the culprit) before switching to Bazzite latest (stable-20250817). I'd be happy to provide logs or any debugging info to aid developers on this issue. Any help is appreciated!...
Solution:
ok um... sleep actually works now and able to wake up again. I have to go to windows and rollback to controller firmware 3.08 (and also disable fast startup from windows and do a full reboot).

AYANEO 2S slow charge

My device is not charging properly. It only pulls 1–5W from the charger, regardless of whether the device is on or off. There are no fast charging options available. Occasionally, it briefly draws more than the set TDP (e.g., with TDP set to 10W, the charger pulled ~18W; with TDP set to 30W, it pulled ~38W), but it never sustains or enables proper fast charging. ...

Hori charge station fox xbox controllers not working

I didn't find an answer with the standard Google search....

Steam Menu does not appear when pressing the corresponding button, while running a game.

When I press the Xbox Guide button on my xbox controller, the Steam menu appears, except for when I am in-game, then I just here the sound of the menu and the controller becomes non-responsive (probably somehow stuck in the menu which is not there) until I press the guide button again and then the game becomes responsive again. If I go to desktop mode, the guide button behaves like expected, even when also activating big picture mode from the desktop. Everything is great, until I go back to "Bazzite mode" (for a lack of a better word, please correct me) and here the menu still does not appear, if pressing the guide button. I am sure this cannot be the expected behavior. Please help....
