Gaming Headset either Stereo or choppy

Analog stereo sounds clear but as it says, its just Stereo, sucks for gaming. "Pro Audio" seems to do better but audio is extremely choppy at times. any fix or alternatives?...

Cannot create Debian (ARM) distrobox

I'm having troubles creating a debian image for ARM platform architecture. The prompt gives me three remote images to pull from and they all fail for different reasons. I want to build ARM binaries from my x86_64 Bezzite PC. Am I going about this the wrong way? ```sh scilab:~$ distrobox create --image debian-toolbox:latest --platform arm --name pi Image debian-toolbox:latest not found....
Solution:
I've solved my own question. I hope that this is useful enough for the Bazzite team to add these steps to the website. https://github.com/TheMaverickProgrammer/raspi3_bazzite...

Dual booting into Windows only works from bios and not grub

Hi all - hope you can help and this may be a quick one! I run a dual boot set up with Windows 11 but with Bazzite as my default boot option. I first installed Windows one onto a clean SSD, and then installed Bazzite on a different SSD afterwards - as I heard this was the easiest approach. Bazzite runs absolutely fine and Windows also runs fine but it will not launch from grub and instead only works after I go into the bios and manually select to boot into Windows Boot Loader from there - that's the problem....
Solution:
I have no idea why the grub menu is not working for you for booting Windows . As a work around you could try the ujust setup-boot-windows-steam terminal script and boot Windows from Steam. Since this one should set Windows as the next boot option and restart the machine.

Disks merged during install

Tried to install Bazzite on a pc with 3 empty SSDs, and selected them all during the initial setup (and selected auto configuration). Now all 3 disks are seen as one 1.6 TB and I can't split them back. If I try to reinstall, I need to check all 3 disks or I can't continue. I just want to install Bazzite on the nvme and use the 2 other ones for storage and stuff pls help me :cryy:...

Bazzite wont boot after install

Hey everyone! I'm brand new to Linux and I'm trying to install Bazzite on my desktop, but I'm not able to get it to boot into the OS after a supposed successful install. It just hangs on the loading screen after selecting "Bazzite (ostree:0) from the Grub menu UPDATE: I thought I had a fix for this and marked my previous thread as resolved. But I thought the fix was not using my 32:9 monitor and instead using my 16:9. As after I did that for whatever magical reason my PC auto rebooted while sitting waiting for bazzite to load and then I noticed there was a new entry in the Grub menu for "ostree:1" and then bazzite finally worked. I wanted to try this again so I got back to my previous state, by reinstalling windows, launched the Bazzite installer, opted to wipe the drive again, installed, all using my 16:9 monitor, but now its back to hanging on boot after selecting "ostree:0". ...
Solution:
ok... I guess just posting in here is good luck for me. I guess adding "nomodeset" at the end of the "linux.... " command in grub fixed it. Thanks all!

Can't type tilde in terminal after 43 update

Can't type tilde anymore in terminal, works fine everywhere else ~. Any ideas how to fix this? I did a rollback to fix it but now I'm somehow back to 43 again. Using DX.

Can you install konsole from the start menu / bazaar?

Bazzite won't boot after update yesterday? Can't access BIOS/grub

Ran ujust update yesterday after hearing about the update, initially didn't see anything weird, though when I powered the PC down, it was almost like it also got stuck somewhere. Still noise, light on the case on, screen on but nothing displayed. Today I'm trying to boot the PC, I get the attached screen as it loads and after, nothing. I've been unable to get into BIOS (if I press any buttons during boot the screen below doesnt appear?), pressing ESC during the screen showed me a wall of text with lots of OKs before disappearing and continuing on with nothing. Unsure what happened and what even to do as I'm finding myself unable to access anything to interact with....

Fans constantly at max while gaming, normal?

Newbie question, I’m new to Linux and new to bazzite but really enjoying it so far. I thought I had everything up and running nicely, until I started up a game and realised that my fans were at full blast for the entire time I was gaming (which wasn’t the case for Windows 11, for comparison, my fans would speed up during intense parts and then slow down). Nvidia 3060, 16GB RAM, Asus B550 e-gaming....

Age of Mythology Retold, No video output

Hey, I've noticed that AoM retold does not seem to be working on Bazzite as it does on other linux distros, I have not been able to work out the cause yet. https://www.protondb.com/app/1934680?device=any It worked for me on these versions with proton 8.0-5 6.12.11-205.bazzite.fc41.x86_64...

Sanctuary: Shattered Sun

The game launches and it says it was created in Unity game engine. That part looks fine. But once in the main screen with the menus, everything looks like it is about 240p resolution. I can't really make out anything. I am looking for some tips to get it to display the correct resolution. (Yes, this is pre-release demo version in Steam) Thanks!...

bluetooth audio issue on fresh install

Hello! i had bazzite gnome installed last week (fedora 42 i believe) and it was working great with headphones. i had secure boot and did the whole mok thing then i did some distro hopping, and did a fresh install of bazzite today (fedora 43). i did a system update and rebooted. i realized i should reenable secure booth so i reset the database on my framework and reenabled it (surprisingly no MOK this time)....
Solution:
Ahh the issue was that I needed to switch to my connected Earphones in Sound settings. 🤦‍♂️ oopsss!!

Total noob, flatpack won't load

Hello, I'm brand new both to Linux and Bazzite. I am having an issue with one of my flatpacks and I'm not sure where in the system I can fix it. I downloaded Vivaldi and it worked initially, but now it acts like it's going to load up and doesn't - I get the little cursor icon bounce but then nothing happens. I looked in System Monitor to see if it was already running the process (since that's a common Windows glitch) and I'm not seeing anything, so it seems like it's failing to proc at all. Res...
Solution:
for vivaldi, try opening warehouse and see if there are any leftover vivaldi files, then re-installing

Fresh Bazzite-DX install hangs after logging out

I'm on the regular Bazzite-DX KDE image freshly rebased from a fresh Bazzite install. Login works fine but when I try to log back out from Plasma I get a black screen instead of SDDM. I can open a TTY and killall sddm to get it to restart but that's it. Same behavior from the gamescope session.
Solution:
This appears to have been some kind of minor monitor config problem or something, solved by using the "apply plasma settings" option in SDDM settings.

Option to disable Apple AirPlay device recognition

Ever since Bazzite 43 my device has been detecting Apple AirPlay capable devices as audio outputs. This wouldn't normally be an issue, but Discord detects the devices as potential audio outputs and keeps popping up with the dialog asking me to swap to those new devices. I'd like to just turn off whatever is being used to detect these devices, as I have no use for it in my daily workload.

Bazzite 43 loads to a black screen on my Framework 13 laptop

My laptop had upgraded to 43. As the title mentions, when I boot into it, it boots into a blank screen with no ability to use Ctrl+Alt+T or anything. I don't see the login screen at all, just a black screen. All I can do is reboot. I did hear that KDE Wallpaper Engine was removed in 43 and thought to see if creating a new "~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc" would fix it as it has fixed KDE crashes in the past, but it did not help in the slightest. What options do I have? Screenshot of rpm-ostree status attached. Edit: I did attempt a rebase just now through bazzite-rollback-helper. Rebasing to 42 works, rebasing to 43 does not....
Solution:
Latest update should fix this, upstream KDE bug

Problem with steam-port of Crystal of Atlan

It's a anime-visual Mass Multiplayer adventure game, been running for a few years before being picked up by Steam. I played on my decade-old Windows rig just fine, but I couldn't get it working on my new Linux rig on its own. Then Steam picked it up and I thought it'd run via steam's linux compatibility. It loads, lets me log in and choose a server, then when I try to join said server, the game crashes to desktop. Any word on how this gets fixed?...
