Wine Flatpak vs Wine DL from Lutris

Hi, I'm wondering if the wine I download from Lutris is the same as the flatpak version from Bazaar, or does it have more permissions since it is downloaded from a pre-installed program? With the flatpak version of wine I can use flatseal to restrict internet access. When I do this does it also restrict internet access to the lutris version? Is there anyway natively to monitor this myself, CLI or other app?...

I've installed bazzite on a onexfly pro machine. I'm trying to get some of the basics setup.

It seems like it's not detecting most of the buttons on the machine though. Basic ones like the A and B button. I also can't even configure the desktop "controller" so I can do things in desktop mode. So far I can't even bring a keyboard up in desktop mode. I know there's multiple problems here. I'm trying to just unravel why it's not detecting anything at all....

Bazzite not showing in Boot Menu?

Hiya, I am a returning bazzite fan after having tried CachyOS. I have two SSD's in my computer, and CachyOS is currently installed on the main one, Bazzite on the second one. I just yesterday reinstalled Bazzite on the second ssd but it is not showing in the boot priority list - only in boot override list. So while i can boot into Bazzite through the boot menu i am not able to make it the default. I assume this has happened because I used "automatic" partition on the second ssd and the installer saw that there was a bootable ssd on the other one? or something along those lines. How can I make Bazzite appear in the UEFI boot menu and make it my default? When I have successfully migrated over to Bazzite again i plan on using cloneszilla to clone this second SSD onto the main SSD again. Appriciate any help with this!...

double-clicking Substance Painter files opens program through Steam, not file

Hello, I've been trying trying to link the default program for .spp files to the Substance 3D Painter Steam Edition executable rather than the steam shortcut so that I can open SPP files from Dolphin file explorer. Unfortunately, due to the Steam directory for Substance having spaces in it, the directory gets truncated when I try to confirm it, even using backslashes to indicate spaces which I was told was supposed to work On the suggestion of some very helpful people in the All Things Linux discord, I tried manually setting it through hardlinks and symlinks, none of which I could really understand, as well as XDG in the terminal, which led to trying to QTPaths with sudo commands, and those were blocked by the OS. ...

Block Steam from Internet

Hey everyone, Brand new user coming from windows/fedora. I've officially moved all my pcs to either bazzite or aurora and I love how it is set up out of the box. My only issue is I don't use steam, dont trust it, and I don't really want it. I use aurora and waydroid (a lot but entirely offline) so it might be nice to block their connection too. I've tried to cut steam's inbound and outbound traffic off with the native firewalld and I cant. So is it better to: ...

Local development with devcontainers

Hi! Devcontainers are the recommended way to develop software in Bazzite DX as I understand. While it works great for cloud software, how do I develop local software with it? Most importantly, how can I run my application in a devcontainer and have it appear?...
Solution:
I just make a distrobox with distroshelf, run distrobox enter (the distrobox) in my IDE's terminal, and then use it. I doubt it's as flawlessly reproducible as rebuilding the container on every use, but it's close enough for my development

Display / Window Brightness

Hi all, I have been through all of the power and display settings but cannot find what is causing this. Generally speaking on the main desktop (KDE Plasma DE) the brightness is fine, but when I open some apps/windows, lets use Alpaca as an example but its not limited to this, the screen/window brightness dims to a point that its uncomfortable to look at. Is there is a way to keep my desktop and all apps/windows at full brightness all the time? Worth adding, after further testing it only seems to do it when putting the apps/windows in full screen. If I have them windowed within the screen itself the brightness remains high....

Super modifier key on keyboard causes it to no longer be recognized on LDN PCBs

My keyboard is a JRIS65 R2, and the PCB is an managed through the LDN software normally through Windows. Apparently, hitting the Super/Fn modifier key causes these keyboards to lock up and become unresponsive. At the moment it doesn't look like there's anything that can be done, judging from this thread on the Arch forums, but if anybody has any ideas they would be greatly appreciated!

Audio and display issues

Hi! So a friend just installed Bazzite and mic's audio on discord has begun to pick up all sounds coming from her headset and TV is if there was no filtering, how can we fix this? Adjusting volume and such didn't seem to help. Also, whenever she sets my main monitor as primary, it puts the taskbar and icons onto her secondary monitor but everything opens on the main one, and vice versa. How can we fix these issues?...
