Steam broken after Oct 2 update

I already tried uninstalling decky but steam keeps flickering and then eventually crashing ever since the latest update

discord stream audio not working

self explanitory, my discord stream audio does not work, went through all the settings I could find and nothing has worked.

Bazzite DX vs Bazzite with Docker Installation

The title pretty much explains it I want docker to work, but I don't see the installation being really difficult I also feel safer knowing that I use the standard version of bazzite that 6.4k others also use, and not one that 100 use I fully appreciate your move to make it similar to bluefin, as I really liked that distro, but I'm wondering if I could achieve the same thing myself And how different would it be, like say you push an update would it be to bazzite first, so that way I'll also benefit from it rather than being on a smaller fork of bazzite (if I understand it right)...

How can I prevent Bazzite GNOME from sleeping ?

I'm using my laptop as a makeshift server and I don't want it to go to sleep, Caffeine works but only when I'm logged in. When no user is logged in and I'm on GDM screen, it will go to sleep itself eventually. I want to prevent my laptop from sleeping, even if there is no user logged in so the Docker containers can stay on....

Audio in SteamUI (Big Picture & Game Mode) no longer works after Oct. 2 Steam update

Today's Steam update, which installed itself on my Deck OLED today, came with the side effect that no sounds play in the Steam UI. Games are unaffected, as well as Desktop Mode (though entering Big Picture in Desktop Mode still has the issue). No audio devices make the audio come back (trust me, I've tried multiple), and rolling back my Bazzite deployment did not fix the issue. Thank you.
Solution:
Fixed. I had to delete the Audio Loader Decky plugin

Battery stuck at 99% (Steam Deck LCD)

Diagnosis: When fully charged on Desktop Mode, unplug it and go back to Gaming Mode, the battery info often stuck at 99%. (Picture shown when it not in charger but Gaming Mode think it still is) It does fix it self when restarting but this happens lot more often and rather redundant to do it each time I go back to gaming mode after fully charged. Device: Steam Deck LCD...

Is it possible to switch monitor output while in gaming mode?

I have a 34” monitor and a 55” OLED in different rooms connected to my PC. Bazzite boots into game mode at startup. Is it possible to switch display output while in gamescope (not in-game) without unplugging cables or using some kind of HDMI/DP-switch? ...

Mic Volume (Gain) randomly changes

On every linux distro I've ever used my mic will randomly change the gain value for some reason. Is there any way get the slider to NEVER move? This doens't happen on windows so it wouldn't make sense for it to be a hardware issue. It's the Razer Serien V2 Pro...

Which wired controllers are compatible with Bazzite?

Hello guys, I currently have a 360 controller, but it's getting old, and I'd like to replace it. I heard that the wired Xbox Series S/X controller isn't compatible?! (I don't have Bluetooth on my PC.) I would like to know if, for example, Turtle Beach controllers are compatible, or others? Thank you....

Missing mod files on ISO install

hey, am attempting to install onto a PC I want to repurpose (haved used Bazzite before on an NUC to test it out and liked it), but after setting up a bootable USB with bazzite-gnome-nvidia-stable-amd64.iso, I get this particular GRUB error: "cannot find /boot/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod" I have confirmed the file is actually on the USB in that exact location. After that error, I just get the grab_rescue prompt and nothing I type does anything SOLUTION - don't use Rufus. Use the Fedora installer....

No GPU usage in game (Radeon HD 6670, Ryzen 5600X, MSI B550 Tomahawk)

Hey there, I've been enjoying my Steam Deck so far so I've decided to make a new "budget" Steam OS build. I found a good deal on a second hand AM4 kit (Ryzen 5600X, MSI B550 Tomahawk, 16Go DDR4); and I had an old AMD Radeon HD 6670 waiting to be used until I can find a cheap RX 6700 / RTX 4060. So far, Bazzite installed flawlessly, but when starting DayZ or other games, the stats are displaying 0% GPU usage and 0/0Gb VRAM....
Solution:
linux doesn't support directx though

Ryujinx issues

When starting the games, the screen goes black and the emulator freeze.

Partition being mounted twice

I had prepped an ext4 partition on my machine before moving to bazzite, and I was glad that it was already picked up by the OS after I installed it. However, for whatever reason, this partition of mine is being mounted twice. Any idea why this is happening?

Right way to install an npm package for a global tool?

What is the right way to install an npm package that installs a global tool? In particular, I need to make use of https://www.npmjs.com/package/fsh-sushi. I looked at https://docs.bazzite.gg/Installing_and_Managing_Software/ but it doesn't offer obvious hints, so and advice is appreciated...
