Unable to purchase steam games in Gaming Mode

Hi All - on my OneXFly F1 Pro device with Bazzite, I'm able to add games to my cart, but never able to proceed with payment/purchase. Once I go to my cart the only options available to me are "Continue Shopping" or "Remove all items".
The only way for me to purchase games is to switch into desktop mode to complete the purchase. Appreciate any help!...
Solution:
SOLVED (thanks to @FlawlessVi!):
Set your user interface scale smaller to fit more of the screen; it’s getting cut off. Go to settings, display, turn off automatically scale and go one tick smaller from the default. I had the same issue on my Onexfly F1 Pro...

Assetto Corsa filling 16 GB ram

Hi! I've encountered a problem while trying to connect to an Assetto Corsa server through Content Manager. The problem is as the game is loading the assets for the server (the assets being: 1 track, 24 cars textures/shaders and lightingFX stuff) my 16 GB ram is slowly filling up to FULL (and also the Swap space) and then Bazzite force quits and says "Steam was using too much memory". For info: I know I can load that 24 car server because I did when I was using Windows without problems. The track load completes, then 8-11 cars' loading can be completed before the RAM fills up completely and crashes. That 8-11 is the actual loading limit even in Singleplayer mode. Increasing the Swap didn't help sadly. On Win11 this AC server with the same 24 cars used up about 12 GB ram when everything loaded (and an X amount of swap depending on what was happening while in-game, around 1-3 GB). That AC server is kinda critical to me, because it is a racing league I race in. Proton version is: "GE-Proton9-2" obtained through ProtonUp-Qt, that is the only version that can run Assetto Corsa stable....
Solution:
Actually I fixed it! The solution was a bit random, I found it while searching for a fix for this problem: Protontricks > Choose AC > Run winecfg > Libraries > Add new... > "dwrite" > Add > OK 😄

Can't disable secure boot, Bazzite will not load the kernal

Adding secondary disks to Btop monitoring

Hello! So I have been using Btop as my defacto "Task manager". But I have run into a strange issue that I suspect is Bazzite related. Wile going through the Btop option I see there is a way to filter disk for the Disk pane. But for whatever reason it would seem as though Btop is not able to or being allowed to see my secondary disk....

Random CPU Utilization Spikes

I'm noticing once in a blue moon my CPU utilization shoots up to 50-60% for about 15 seconds while I'm just sitting on the desktop with Discord and my web browser open. I can hear the CPU fan get quite loud to compensate and it shows the CPU utilization going up in Mission Centre, but I don't see an app using the CPU more than 1 or 2%. I don't see any notifications saying that apps/packages are being updated either so I have no idea what's causing this. Any ideas? Using a Ryzen 7 7700X if that helps at all....

USB device constantly detected/removed every few seconds, can't get it to work

I'm trying to get my wired Xbox 360 controller to work and when I plug in, it's constantly getting detected and then removed every few seconds, and obviously does not work. Does not matter which USB port I use. If I try to boot the PC while the controller is plugged in, it simply won't boot, it just gets stuck somewhere with no screen signal, and I have to unplug and reset the PC. I found this thread, recognizing usb autosuspend as the issue ( https://www.answeroverflow.com/m/1325528957923360909 ) but running the prompt didn't change anything for me. I did also test the controller on a different PC (Windows) and it works perfectly fine so no faulty hardware....
