Heavily Crackly/Crunchy audio on a Nvidia System
So ever since i switched first to aurora i had some crackly audio problems. A helpful person on here helped me realize i installed the wrong ISO so i rebased to the Nvidia version, after that i rebased to Bazzite so there's been two rebases total.
The headphones i use are Steelseries Arctis Nova 1 plugged into the rear IO.
i've also tried using bluetooth headphones but the audio still crackled.

Every startup, random browser folders get created
Everytime I restart the computer, on ~/.var/app/ this folders appear as if I had these browsers installed, but I only have firefox via flatpak, so it seems strange and I wanted to know if there's a way to stop it or if it's a known bug, thanks.

Input trapped in Proton-layered applications
Hello everyone, before addressing the problem, here's my rig just in case:
MSI MPG B650I EDGE WIFI
AMD R5 9600X
AMD RX9060XT...
Solution:
UPDATE: I've figured out why mouse input is trapped in the first launched proton-layered games, turns out it's kind of Wayland issue? I tried using GE-Proton9.27 with XWayland as the display server, and now mouse input is not solely focused in proton-layered game, I can navigate Discord again.

dGPU performing worse than iGPU
Why is my dedicated GPU performing worse than integrated one? I'm running bazzite on a Laptop (specs in screenshot).
I've tried running both minecraft using prism launcher and osu! lazer. Both result in dGPU performing worse than my iGPU.
In case of osu! lazer, I installed it with Gear Lever by using the official
.appimage
and tried running it on Lutris as well (just so I could use my dGPU).

Game Mode - Black background, no wallpaper/images
Sorry if this is a known thing, but I'm having issues figuring this out. Recently the wallpaper/background image has disappeared in game mode and is just completely black. Doesn't matter which game is selected, CSS loader on/off, beta vs stable steam, etc. I have rebooted several times and run ujust fix-reset-steam with no changes.
Any ideas?...
Solution:
Well I can't believe I didn't put this together until now. "High Contrast Mode" in steam breaks "hero" images and backgrounds. Uninstalled CSS loader and any other visual modification plugins until I figured that out.

Huge performance drop from windows to Bazzite in Final Fantasy 15 on Hades Canyon NUC.
I have a intel Hades Canyon NUC 8i7hvk1 and am having a huge drop in performance on Final Fantasy 15. On windows I get 30-40 fps on high settings with >60 fps on low (it is locked at 60). When I atemp to play in bazzite I am getting 20-25 fps on low with major stuttering. I have tried different proton settings with no change in performance. I installed bazzite on my ayaneo next pro and tested windows and bazzite with ff15 and they are almost identical in fps. Is there any setting that I cou...
Help with scanner
Hi i would like to use bazzite with my printer. My printer is a combination of printer and scanner. Printer part just works. But scanner part needs driver (brscan4). I installed it thru rpm-ostree. After reboot. programs like skanlite and skanpage dont detect my printer/scanner. Its only detect my webcam... scanimage -L reports printer and webcam
ls /etc/udev/rules.d/ | grep -i brother reports driver is installed and working
Any ideas?...
Solution:
i found solution its not most elegant one but its doing its job. distrobox with fedora 41. inside i installed those scanner apps as system packuages and that packet for scanner. then i "created a shortcut" from bazzite to those apps. and its works now (skanlite at least scanpage crashes)

Bazzite boot error
2 mornings ago I attempted to boot bazzite and found it booting into emergency mode. I was directed to the pin to fix tree corruption using gparted. I followed it (with help from a user here, thank you @biebel!) but it did not fix my issue. After this, I was directed to use the liveISO bootloader fixing tool, which I did. It also has not solved my error.
It is worth noting: If I boot from the liveISO, I can clearly see all my bazzite partition files. I can see them and look through them, they are all there and just fine as far as I can tell.
Is there a way to fix this error? To be clear the error message I receive on boot is as follows:...

...Can't switch to light mode entirely in Bazzite Gnome
Hi, I have a fresh Bazzite Gnome install and I noticed that if I disable dark mode in Gnome (either from the widget in the top bar or in the Appearence settings) I get light mode in some apps (Gnome Files, Firefox and other Gnome Apps) but I still have other apps stuck in dark mode, such as Libreoffice, Qbittorrent, the top bar of the Signal app and the widgets in the top bar of the shell (such as the calendar). I tried disabling some Gnome extensions but nothing still. Does anyone know what's h...
