ThunderGold Wifi Dongle not recognised or not working on linux

Hello, I recently installed bazzite on my machine while my bluetooth dongle does work, my wifi dongle isn't recognised at all. While I do know it says windows only on the website, I was hoping someone could help me out still and see if there's still a work around for like drivers or something to make them work? Thanks. Btw, I can't connect with ethernet cuz my pc is too far from the router, however I am able to use my phone for usb tethering. I don't know the name of the adapter either, but this is it:...

Bazzite setup freeze

Hello, currently trying to make a dual boot with win11 (already installed) and bazzite. When booting into the USB, I can verify the installation, start installing, and the screen/computer freezes when arriving on the installation summary. Any idea why or how to fix this ? Thanks !

ROS 2 Support?

Good afternoon, I was just wondering if anyone has tested ROS2 with bazzite?

No sound on fresh install

Fresh install of bazzite on a very new pc build: B850 board with a Ryzen 9 9900x. I'm not getting any audio output and audio devices are showing up with chipset names like Family 17h/19h or GA104 in pulse audio or pavucontrol. I've tried a few things to troubleshoot but I'm pretty convinced it's a driver compatibility issue with newer hardware - the analog stereo output profile claims it is unplugged and unavailable

Setting my soundbar to Optical on Bazzit

Hello, I can use my soundbar via jack by plugging it into the jack output of my DisplayPort screen, but I'd like to know if it's possible to use the Optical output (which works on Windows)? Thank you for your help. P.S. Sorry for any mistakes; I'm a French person and not very good at English, haha....

Onexplayer G1 Ryzen 9 ai model Home, Turbo, and Mouse buttons not working.

I set up bazzite and have a second partition for windows. The buttons mentioned in the title are not working properly. I set up Windows with Handheld Companion, and that may be the issue. Not sure what else could cause it.

Issue when updating Bazzite on ROG Ally

I’m probably just being dumb…but long story short I’ve been using os branch 40 forever and figured I should update, which wasn’t smart. I used the terminal to update since updating within big picture mode in Steam wasn’t working. But when I launched the current os 42, I get a completely black screen; Steam doesn’t launch. So I tried to launch the previous version of bazzite, os 41, that was available from the boot screen, and Steam launches, but my Steam boot movie doesn’t work and no games will load. The steam interface works, just not anything else. Am I missing something?...

Weird GPU Driver crashing issue

Hey Guys I am having weird issue I am unsure how to debug or fix. So I have been using Bazzite for a good half a year and it works perfectly pretty much. All my games run great with no issue. I have uploaded a picture of my Specs. This is a GPU passthrough VM. I am passing through a RX 7800XT. I have never had any issue with any game or web browser or most apps. Now heres where the issue happens. If I try and use ANY kind of remote desktop client to RDP into a windows machine. Literally any client app it will work fine. But after a random amount of time usually within an hour it looks like the graphic driver dies. the screen freezes, it flickers, I start seeing artifacts till eventually KDE restarts or the OS dies and I have to reboot it. This doesn't just happen with RDP but also happens with chiaki (the PS5 Remote play app). So it seems any app that involves remote control or remote play causes my GPU driver to just crash. This has bene happening for months and I don't know why and ive been unable to troublshoot....

Greenlight won't start from Steam

I can launch the Greenlight AppImage fine in desktop mode when Steam is not involved, just clicking on the AppImage. But it won't ever start when added as a Non-Steam Game. Neither in desktop mode nor in game mode. This works fine on a real Steam Deck and worked for me on Bazzite when I last tried it in January, so I believe it's a Bazzite specific issue....
Solution:
Installing the AppImage with Gear Lever, then adding the installed AppImage as a non Steam Game, and finally turning off Steam Overlay for the game, resolved this. Neither of these steps was enough on its own, I had to do it all. Hopefully this will help others....
