Monster Hunter Wilds relentlessly grabbing Focus

I have been having this issue that very well may be a game issue not a Bazzite/KDE issue, but I thought I would ask here first. For whatever reason Monster Hunter WIlds will endlessly grab focus, about every 250ms (1/4 a second) The reason I bring it up here is even if changing the KDE Window management, Window behavior, Focus stealing prevention to "Extreme" the game still manages to steal focus... However when set to extreme I can at least get the start menu to stay open to launch things... But still very annoying... Makes sending discord messages impossible while the game is running......

Solution:

try run the game through gamescope would be my suggestion

Can't change brightness on Acer laptop

Hi, I have this weird issue, I can't change brightness of the screen. Doesn't matter slider is on 0% or 100% it's always the same brightness. Everything is up to date but it feels like driver issue because when I try to use Fn + F9 or Fn +F10 brigtness automaticly goes to 0%, and stay there until restart. My laptop is Acer Nitro 5 AN515-58 i5-12500H, RTX4060 165Hz

easy way to check PC performance

Hi! I just moved to Bazzite a few days ago, so I don't know if this has been asked yet, but I want to know if there's something like a desktop widget where I can check my PC performance (i.e. CPU temps) preferably in real time. I used to be able to check temps with the software my CPU cooler came with, but I didn't expect the software to be for Windows only. Thanks!

Cannot Select 4k 60hz on TV with Bazzite

Hello Team! I like to game on my TV as a break from the office. I discovered today, after I made the switch to Bazzite a while ago, that I cannot go higher than 2160p 30hz on my Vizio M75-E1. I know for sure that it supports 60hz, because I was able to use it with Windows no problem. I'm using the NVIDIA version of Bazzite with my 4080. My TV (supposedly) supports up to 120hz according to the manual. I have tried multiple HDMI cords on the multiple. I also went and bought a DisplayPort to HDMI cable rated for 4k 60hz and tried that on multiple HDMI ports. It always defaults to 1080p/60hz when plugged into the GPU. I can select 4k, but only 30hz. Now, the weird thing. Plugging it into the integrated graphics on my motherboard, the option is there (along with a huge number of additional screen resolutions) . The problem appears to be how the GPU and TV interact. Obviously, I cannot game on integrated graphics. Specs below and pictures attached....

Solution:

this would be up to nvidia to fix

How to save file from LibreOffice to an SMB share

I have a NAS that I use for schoolwork etc and I'm trying to save a document to it from LibreOffice, but the save dialog doesn't give me any way to access the share. The path seems to default to a temporary location in /run/user/1000. I can access the share from Dolphin directly but that doesn't help me. Earlier I was able to get KIO-Fuse to create a temporary mount that I could use with MATLAB but that doesn't seem to be working now.

Solution:

mount your network drive to a folder then it should be useable in all programs https://www.linode.com/docs/guides/linux-mount-smb-share/

Steam dropdowns close on clicking selection but selection doesn't register most times.

Example: right clicking on a game in my library, then clicking "Properties", the dropdown closes but as though I clicked outside of the dropdown (it doesn't open properties). Another example: I've managed to get the game properties window open, and I click on the dropdown for compatibility selection and click on "Proton Experimental", the dropdown closes without updating my selection. In both of these scenarios, if I repeatedly perform the exact same inputs (click to open dropdown, click to select item) one will eventually stick (open the properties window or update with my selection respectively). ...

Disable VSync in Game Mode

I have the following problem with RetroArch (Steam version), from what I have tested all my GameCube games have horrible audio stutter. This can be solved by simply turning off v-sync for whatever reason (the system should be more than capable to run emulated games with a R6 5600 and RX 6650XT). So I assume it is not performance related. Disabling v-sync worked in desktop mode even with a 4k resolution (using a 6x resolution multiplier). However in game mode even at 1x resolution I get audio stutter; I tried disabling v-sync in RetroArch and the problem still occurs, which leads me to believe the GameScope session itself is forcing v-sync. Is there any way to disable v-sync in GameScope. Additional info I have the KDE desktop. ...

Can't boot to windows regularly

After changing my SSD, I can no longer boot to Windows normally. I always have to select specifically choose it in the UEFI Boot menu. Even after using a script to switch between to Windows, my ROG Ally X always reboots into the Bazzite partition. Switching the boot order does nothing as well.

I can not run a command inside a shell script but I can outside of it? why?

Can someone help me understand why I can run a program outside of a shell script but not inside it? What modifications do I need to make here? ```bash mike@bazzite:/var/home/mike/.local/bin$ playwright --version /home/mike/.local/bin/playwright: 11: /usr/bin/distrobox: not found...

Solution:

This was caused by a problem inside the distrobox where playwright was running the same alias that was launching the distrobox, this was corrected by changing the line

/usr/bin/distrobox enter --name playwright -- playwright "$@"

/usr/bin/distrobox enter --name playwright -- playwright "$@"

Using HBO Max or Disney plus with Controller

Hello, I've been trying to set up my bazzite machine to use streaming services, I found this reddit post which gave me a starting point: https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/w4rctb/how_to_add_popular_video_streaming_services_as/ The issue is, in Game Mode I would like to only use my controller. I got this to work with Youtube by adding this line into the steam launch options: --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (Xbox One; PlayStation 5) Chrome/140.0.7339.80" Whenever I change the website from Youtube to DisneyPlus, Hulu, or HBO it still brings up the normal computer versions. I'm curious to know if anyone has found a fix for this, or if im just dumb and missing something simple....

Bazzite launches without desktop or taskbar.

Currently have ran into an issue with Bazzite where after restarting ( due to encountering an error with the built in wallpaper engine plugin ) the desktop shows no taskbar, background or anything to interact with. Help is needed.
