Lutris hang when extracting files

I’m on Bazzite deck image most recent stable. Whenever I try to install a game, Bazzite infinitely spins during the extract files stage.

BlackScreen After Trying to Resume from sleep

Hello, I encouter this issue often but not all the time, and it appeared in all the previous versions aswell. When trying to resume from sleep (py pushing the power button), my PC will often encounter a black screen, fan spin, but there is absolutely no display. I need to hard shutdown then boot again normally to have a display again. Do you know what the source can be ? Output of Journalctl before blackscreen : https://pastebin.com/Gk6JQT0w ...
Solution:
Okay I found a solution, this seems to be caused by nvidia powerd and it seems to be a bug from nvidia drivers, masking the service seems to do the trick sudo systemctl mask nvidia-powerd.service

MacOS Sound thru KVM QEMU on Bazzite

I have a MacOS VM running Sequoia well on KVM-QEMU on Bazzite DX with Gnome, and in virt-manager. My computer is a Framework 12. I used ULTMOS, here. https://github.com/Coopydood/ultimate-macOS-KVM The only issue I have right now is sound. I know I’ll have to mess with drivers on the Mac, but first I need to understand how to make the Framework 12 sound device available to QEMU. I’ve found several suggestions of XML configuration I can try in virt-manager. I keep getting errors that pipewire is unavailable or that pulseaudio connection is refused....

Distrobox display issue after update 43.20251029 => 43.20251102

Framework 13 AMD 7640U. Running bazzite KDE. After updating from 43.20251029 to 43.20251102 some distrobox apps no longer display their contents (see screenshots). For example, Emulicious (which uses java that I installed inside the container) does not display the menu. Sometimes I manage to get a blind click out of it, and then it displays properly, but sometimes even after a sucessful blind click it does not work. Vivado is another (essential for my work) that does not display anything. Small menus display correctly (like when closing the app asking for confirmation) and I can get some blind clicks, but nothing ever displays. VSCode works just fine (probably because of using electron or something). I had no issues with these apps before the update. Even going from Fedora 42 to 43 didn't cause any issues. I noticed in the changelogs that KDE got updated, along with Mesa. Any ideas on how to debug this? I tried running the apps from the command line, but no error messages get displayed. I was thinking it's maybe font related or something since it looks like the system font changed with the new KDE version?...

Issue Loading into Desktop Due to Outdated Decky

I am trying to get into desktop so that i can update Decky so it is fixed. But i am stuck on the decky error log that tells me to use the touch screen to select an option, and none of my imput devices work due to this being my desktop. Any suggestions to bypass decky to get into desktop mode?
Solution:
Finally got the desktop to bypass the decky screen with enough restarts. Then uninstalled it.

System randomly freezing

Hi folks. I've had a consistent issue where Bazzite will lock up entirely, showing the desktop and all open apps on screen as a still image with the audio still playing for about 20 seconds until that also stops. I can invoke a failure when I play cities skylines 2 almost guaranteed, but so far Borderlands 4 has been doing the same thing intermittently and just about 30 minutes ago, it did it while sitting on the desktop. ...

Good framerate but massive stuttering in more graphically intensive games.

Hello! Ive been searching around and troubleshooting to no avail but it seems that whenever I play a more graphically intensive game on my system (Icarus, Once Human) I can stand still, look at intensive object even with RT and get butter smooth fps but as soon as I turn or start moving it starts chopping pretty hard, like Ill get 40+ frames of smooth content one sec then the next sec a big drop and then right back to smooth and then maybe Ill get 15 seconds of smooth before it starts acting out of pocket again. Its only JUST unplayable and its like the rendering of stuff is fine but the texture streaming or loading of the actual objects trip it up. I know my system can handle this at 1440p as it has done so before and played games that would be much harder to run than the two previously mentioned. Changing any graphics settings seems to have 0 effect on this. Ive tried several versions of proton as per ProtonDB, different install locations (System SSD, secondary SSD and HDD), Dx11, Dx12 and even launch options to minimal success. I am unfortunately on Nvidia. When watching performance graphs of the game CPU and memory usage is completely nominal but GPU usage actually TANKS right when the stutters happen then go back to normal as highlighted. The screenshot is while I was playing Once Human. Is anyone else experiencing this?...

Bad performance at login screen from cold boot

Every time I do a full reboot the login screen seems to function with huge amounts of lag. Seems intermittent to a degree (overall it's always "laggy", but some cases are worse than others) but in some instances it's pretty bad (taking several seconds to reflect the "dots" for my password). Performance once I'm past sign in is completely fine, and the problem doesn't happen if I manually lock, it's only in the first login from a cold boot. Any insight? I have HDR enabled, not sure if this makes a difference since I've noticed (based on brightness) that the first login appears to be in SDR. Thanks!...

SD Card not auto-mounting in Gaming Mode

Some SD Card auto-mounting weirdness I'm trying to figure out... Gaming Mode isn't mounting my SD Card(s) at first boot, but Desktop Mode is. To get it to work in Gaming Mode I have to EITHER: - A) eject and re-insert the SD Card then 'Restart Steam' in the power menu OR - B) go to Desktop Mode then 'Return to Gaming Mode'. ...

OneDrive(r) in Bazzite, missing deps?

This is the "onedriver" github: https://github.com/jstaf/onedriver I'm trying to install it via rpm-ostree and the installation fails due to missing dependencies (see screenshot). Where did I screw up and what can I do to resolve this?...
Solution:
so, rolling back to an unmodified ostree image, then layering onedriver ontop worked. I'll try your nix bundle after that, but for now this will do. thanks for your help!

Desktop Toolbar Icon Breaking?

Hi, I realize this is insanely dumb but I'm not actually sure how to like.. figure out what's broken. After I reboot I no longer see the Steam/Terminal/etc icons on the taskbar. Instead I see a broken icon. Reverting to the previous version using rpm-ostree command listed on the site does fix it temporarily, however on reboot the taskbar is broken again. Is there a way for me to revert it or something?...
Solution:
no big deal, just re-pin for now

Sound dosen't work in Steam VR Link

Everything was working fine yesterday. But today, after the latest Bazzite update, there's no sound. vrserver is selected as the source in the settings. I rebooted both the PC and Quest 3, but that didn't help. The only layered package I have installed is wallpaper engine.
Solution:
the sound just fixed itself the next day...
