Weird system freezes.

It's the third time my system randomly froze and did not recover. The first time it has happened I was playing The Finals, the system froze mid match, out of nowhere. The second time it happened I was only launching that game, the system started lagging like crazy during shader precomp, and froze after like 10 seconds. And the third time happened ~15 minutes ago, when I was doing wplace stuff, nothing intensive. How can I diagnose this issue?...

Wireless bluetooth input devices not usable for LUKS password screen

Hi all, in short, neither wireless keyboard nor mice over bluetooth are working for me when trying to use them to input my password on the encryption login screen. Once wired, it works fine; once past the encryption login, wireless works fine again. It seems to be because bluetooth services are not being started until after the unlocking. Is there a way to make it so they would work prior? I can connect my KB via cable each time to enter the password, although it's fairly annoying, but I don't currently have wired mice alternatives in case that fails. I can't seem to remember if this problem has always been there since I installed Bazzite or not, as for a while I did not notice it (but I was having issues with my kb's battery so it was often connected during boot anyhow... so who knows) This does not seem to be Bazzite-specific as during my research I saw some mentions of using dracut or doing some changes to initramfs to try to address this, but those were largely for Ubuntu, and I'm not knowledgeable enough to parse the proper way to proceed here. Thanks in advance for any insights!...

Audio through HDMI 2.1 Cable cuts out

I'm running Bazzite into my TV through an HDMI 2.1 cable. The audio is intermittently cutting out. I have HDR disabled in Steam. Specs are: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/samnfty/saved/#view=c4yJt6 I initially thought it was my cable so I picked up this cable: https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=31231 I'm still having these audio issues. Any suggestions? Thank you ...
Solution:
To anyone following this, it seems the best solution is a DP to HDMI adapter. I used this one from Cable Matters. https://a.co/d/fnR83L7...

Inconsistent keyboard across apps

Hi, I've been running Bazzite on my PC for a couple weeks now, and I have noticed some inconsistencies in keyboard mapping across the system. As of the time of this posting, I'm running Bazzite GNOME 42.20250817. I live in Brazil, I'm a portuguese speaker and I have my system set for Brazilian Portuguese. My keyboard layout is US default, so I run it with a us-intl (specifically US International with Dead Keys) mapping , to be able to input accents. For instance, on Firefox, other desktop or console apps, my keyboard behaves as expected. For instance, if I press ' then a, my output is an á. If I press ' then c, my output is a ç. If i press ' then v, my output is 'v (for writing I've, for instance)....

Can't switch from Desktop Mode to Gaming Mode

Title. It was working fine up until an hour or so ago. When I try to switch to gaming mode (either via the shortcut or by signing out), I get a black screen on all my displays and like the first little sound of the gaming mode boot sequence over and over til it throws me back into desktop mode. If I reboot the PC I get into gaming mode, but it signs me out of Steam and I have to log back in every time. If theres any other info I can give please let me know, thank you
Solution:
if it happens again, its likely worth trying: ujust fix-reset-steam - i've seen others with the issue report that fixes it

Ubisoft Connect Won't Let Me Login

Hi, I had been running Ubisoft Connect via Lutris successfully for months, but today, I was updating a game and then stopped Ubisoft Connect while doing other things. In the evening, I tried to play an Ubisoft game when I couldn't even start up UC anymore. The launcher kept crashing. I switched from wine-ge-8-26-x86_64 to Proton-Experimental and then the launcher worked, but whenever I try to login, it says that there was a problem logging in. I installed other versions of Wine, like wine-10...

LUKS for storing sensitive files.

I have recently moved from windows to bazzite and in windows I always used veracrypt to create a small encrypted container to securely store documents and other sensitive files. Now that i'm using bazzite, I understand LUKS is the default encryption solution so want to know how I can go about achieving the same thing in Bazzite but with LUKS? I saw there is an app called LuckyLUKS that can do this but I'm not sure how to layer it into bazzite?...

Steam Performance Overlay in Gamescope Session

Does anyone know if it is possible to get the new steam performance overlay in the Gamescope session rather than the typical levels 1-4 of mangohud profiles that are inherited from the steam deck? The overlay I am referring to is the one shown here: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2025/07/steam-beta-upgrades-the-in-game-performance-monitor-for-linux/...
