Firefox won't open

New Linux user here, installed Bazzite on my laptop yesterday to free myself from Windows 11. It's pretty great but Firefox and Librewolf wont run. Firefox gives me a crash report while Librewolf just loads for a moment and then doesn't open. Solutions I've tried: - uninstalling/reinstalling the Firefox flatpak - disabling Wayland windowing system/enabling fallback to X11 windowing system...

Handheld edition Gnome vs KDE, is there any performance difference?

as stated in title, is there any performance difference on gnome and kde for handheld? which is better?
Solution:
there is no difference in gaming mode it has nothing to do with KDE/gnome

Cannot open access to console, root account is locked.

im getting this issue, im assuming because i tried to mount my ntsf game drive. i was able to game for it on awhile but this issue came up im not sure why this happening. is it better to format my game drive to a exfat so its more compatible for bazzite. also i am dual booting my system for context so i want to share my library between windows and bazzite...

VM permission denied

I setup a windows VM and get to the point where I press Begin Installaiton, but instead i get "Unable to complete install: 'Cannot access storage file '/run/media/system/Extra/Windows/win11.qcow2' (as uid:107, gid:107): Permission denied'" It seems that it doesn't like that i made a volume for it on my second drive, which is weird. did i miss a step here? why doesn't it have permissions to do that? im using vmm from doing the ujust virtualization install.

New install not booting on second boot, disk mounting problem?

Hi, so I've done a new install wiping one disk that had OpenSUSE Slowroll installed on it and keeping two others as-they-were because they just held games and backups. First boot after installation worked fine, but when I try to re-boot I get the splash screen forever with no progress. I've attached a screenshot of what I can see when I look at the boot process. I think it is failing to mount a disk but I cannot find the fstab when I've booted into a recovery live USB, can anyone help?...

rpm-ostree rebase hangs during image download

I just upgraded to the latest bazzite-deck-nvidia:stable to see if the new 580 nvidia drivers would be solving stuff. Now nothing works so I tried rebasing to bazzite-deck:stable to see if it came from the nvidia drivers and for sure it did but now other stuff is breaking. So now to get back to my working setup, I need to rebase to my previous-previous version. So I ran brh rebase bazzite-deck-nvidia:stable-42.20250828.1 but it never completes. It feels like the download starts a the usual speed (100Mb/s) and slowly gets to zero after a few chunks have been downloaded. Changing image does not work, yesterday, downloading the new stable took a few tens of seconds but now I am a few hours into this mess but nothing moves. The logs I have: ``` Importing: ostree-image-signed:docker://ghcr.io/ublue-os/bazzite-deck-nvidia:stable-42.20250828.1 (digest: sha256:8200910bcdba14a124bea645971d8e9d9b169449263634321d6206c58844b418) ostree chunk layers already present: 47 ostree chunk layers needed: 26 (1.7 GB)...

Installing the Policy JSON Configuration for Brave Flatpak on Bazzite

Hello, I have a problem regarding Brave Flatpak on Bazzite. Today I discovered the existence of the Policy feature brave://policy that allows to get rid of bloated features in Brave, and I have the json configuration that get rids of the bloats on Linux Flatpak version of Brave. However, the main problem is that currently Brave only reads directory /etc/brave/policies/managed which means I cannot install this with Bazzite since this is an immutable distro (There is already a way to overwrite the /etc/ folder temporarily but you know that way is discouraged)...

Controller randomly freaks out

Hello all, I have the Gulikit KK3 Max controller. I use it wired plugged directly into motherboard, not front panel connector. While playing games (just in general, happens with every game I can think of that I use a controller for) sometimes inputs will just randomly freak out for a second or 2, then return to normal. On anything I run through Steam, it will randomly do a few inputs, take multiple screenshots, and only sometimes also open the Steam overlay. I have tried switching to different usb cables (even buying new ones to make sure) as well as other usb ports on my motherboard. I also made sure the controller firmware is fully up to date. It doesn't matter if I have Steam Input enabled or not, it happens either way. I tried looking up anyone else having an issue like me, but I wasn't able to find anything, so I'm hoping someone here can help me....

can´t play videos on youtube

YouTube videos does not play, not even on discord and the sound doesn't seem to work either. I've never used Linux, and this is my first time using it. I'm using this new operating system because I don't want to use Windows 11, which would only cause performance issues for an already old laptop is too bad win 10 will no longer receive updates from October. I hope get some solution here 🙁...

Headset and Occasionally mouse not function on boot until reseat

My Razer Kraken headset and occasionally my razer basilisk mouse will sometimes be non-functional upon boot. No audio comes from the headset, and when the mouse fails it has no LEDs and there is no response to movement. This is always fixed by simply unplugging and replugging the affected device, but ideally it should work without such efforts. ~5000 lines of log since boot attached by request...

Looking to roll back Vulkan 1.4 to 1.3.

I'm running a bazzite build that supports GTX 10x series GPU. However, Vulkan 1.4 is installed and does not support my GPU. Vulkan 1.3 does. How would I rollback Vulkan to 1.3?
Solution:
Vulkan version utilized by applications are determined by your gpu, not currently installed vulkan version. So what you want to do is not necessary. If you have another problem I can try helping with that...

Laptop doesn't stay asleep

Hi, i just installed Bazzite with KDE on a HP Victus 16 laptop and it works great and all but i can't put it to sleep. Well it goes to sleep but after a few seconds it just wakes up out of nothing. I have already tried disabling GPP0 and GPP1 (and absolutely everything, one by one and even all at the same time) from /proc/acpi/wake but it doesn't work. As a matter of fact i don't have a Gygabite motherboard since this is an HP laptop. It has an hp 8934 motherboard with a ryzen 5000 and Radeon RX 5500m. The output of journalctl -b | grep -i wake is the following screenshot. it basically says that NetworkManager requested the waking. So I figured that by disabling NetworkManager the problem should be solved but i have tried disabling the service and the dispatchers with no luck since it still woke up after a few seconds and journalctl still says it was NetworkManager. And I really wonder how is that possible ?...
