Installation Destination with my 2TB D: drive showing 1.05MiB free, unallocated 800gb in windows

I'm new to installing Bazzite, let alone dual booting windows & allocating space. I left 802.88gb unallocated on the windows side. and there is still no way to make it visible in the linux side. All there is installed on the D: drive is Steam games & other old games.

questions about bazzite

hello everyone, im looking to hopefully use bazzite for my HTPC/PC game console setup and had a few questions. 1. i see there is a desktop and htpc versions of bazzite but is there any features sacrificed between the two or performance differences? 2. i do have an nvidia gpu, an RTX 3080, i did see it could cause issues but how severe are we talking? 3. does bazzite have something like playnite for windows which allows me to have most of my game libraries in one spot like steam, epic games, PCSX2, and other launchers...

Distrobox slowness

Hey folks, Just installed the OS and am setting up an Ubuntu Distrobox for some unsupported packages, and after installing the container via the ujust script, I'm in the container and running apt commands with an insanely slow speed (pic attached, installation has taken ~30minutes). A speed test in my browser shows dozens of MB/s, anyone know if there's something unique about the Distrobox setups?...
Solution:
Most likely a mirror issue. This regularly happens to me too on arch and fedora containers, but refreshing mirrors usually improve speeds

1070, Samsung QDLED stuck at 1024x768

Installed Bazzite, the installer saw the 4k TV and had appropriately sized stuff (the text was tiny). After logging in the isplay configuration says the display can only support 1024x768, no options for other resolutions. It's an old PC, intel i7-7700k and nvidia gtx 1070. I ran updates still stuck. Any help to get this up to 1080p would be appreciated.

All attempts to download apps on Bazaar will freeze

Only about two weeks into using Bazzite, and a few days ago, the Bazaar stopped being able to install or update Flathub apps. It appears that downloads are not completing, even when the progress bar fills up in less than a second, and no installation process takes place. I'm a Linux newbie so I lack the skillset to troubleshoot this -- does anyone have insights or things I can do to try to fix this? Screenshot included of an example installation attempt -- the download progress bar is full but the process has been stuck at this stage for the past 30 minutes....

Realtek ALC285 Volume Control Fix for ASUS GA403W

Hello! I am running Bazzite on my ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (GA403W) and have a persistent, ASUS audio issue that I need the correct kernel argument for. The Problem: The master volume slider does not control the loudness; it only makes the audio muffled/distorted when lowered. The sound is clear only at 100%. an oddity, this audio functionality worked perfectly on a previous Nobara installation, confirming that a specific custom patch exists but i could find how nobara did it....

Can't layer coolercontrol on Bazzite unstable

``` $ ujust install-coolercontrol This recipe will proceed to layer CoolerControl. If updates start to fail, please use "rpm-ostree reset" See https://docs.bazzite.gg/Installing_and_Managing_Software/rpm-ostree/#major-caveats-using-rpm-ostree...
Solution:
switched to bazzite 42 (the 2nd deployment) and ran the ujust again. coolercontrol got installed and my system was bumped back to unstable. two birds with one stone!

I’m continually getting the uupd warning despite updating via various methods such as the system update icon, ujust, running uupd in terminal, etc. I saw another post in here with a similar problem, and tried to solve it in a similar manner, with no luck.

GPU slider missing?

Hello everyone. I was using a long time SteamOS on my Legion Go. I installed today BazziteOS on my Go. I didn't make a Dualboot or anything else. Just wiped everything and did a clean install. Clean OS for sure. But I am missing the GPU slider in my power settings. I have the TDP slider but no GPU slider. Is it intended that I can only adjust the GPU in the HHD interface or am I just too stupid? Did I miss something? I am very grateful for any help.

I am not sure why but many times when I try to see pictures or videos I see them as shown in the attached screenshot. The image is of ente photos, but I have seen it happen with thumbnails on youtube, the camera backgrounds on zoom and teams, and many more instances both on a browser and on local applications.
