Trying to disable built in controller on ROG Ally

Having problems with the built in controller on my Rog Ally (z1 extreme). I am running in Desktop mode and I just want to completely disable the built in controller but can not find any way to do this. I've found the Game Controller section in System Settings, but there is no option to disable the built in controller there.

Graphical issues in Space Engineers 1

not sure if this is the right place for this, but I'm getting these two very nasty graphical issues in Space Engineers on the latest Bazzite testing: - the unmatched power of the sun makes the whole world blindingly white during day - my algae seem to be taking advantage of this to break the laws of physics I found a lighting mod that lowers the brightness enough to help with the former and make the game playable at least, it's just not ideal. weirdly, the sun was normal at the start of my save and all algae farms seem to slowly get more distorted over time. I've already taken the recommended Linux setup steps from their Discord server but that hasn't helped, and as far as I can tell from searching on there, no one else has had this issue. my GPU is an RX 6700XT...

Solution:

so I had my friend take a look and apparently I managed to break the weather system of the game which caused both issues. clearing all weather events fixed it up nicely

Difficulty getting Honkai Star Rail working

I've tried quite a few methods to get HSR running on Bazzite so far: The flatpak (honkers-railway-launcher), the same project via lutris, the hoyolauncher installed via Bottles, and running the game on Waydroid (Waydroid in general runs too slowly and has graphical issues for me, presumably because I have an nvidia graphics card, from what I've gathered?). I've tried various solutions I found here and elsewhere (changing the wine variant, which I tried several options on all of the flatpak, lutris, and bottles, checking the config file to see if it has /var before /home (it did, unless I'm looking in the wrong place?), and some other random stuff I don't remember the specifics of). What actually happens when I try to launch it (this is after a complete download of the game): A fullscreen black window appears, and shortly or immediately afterwards, another smaller window pops up with a progress bar, the icon for the game's executable file, and a red exclamation mark. The progress bar then fills gradually, and when it completes, both windows close. Alternatively (this happens when I have the wine variant set to soda, if I'm remembering right?) a black window appears, eventually gets the identifier string in the bottom left corner that is always there in mihoyo games, then just stays like that until I alt+f4, upon which my computer stops re-rendering on both monitors for a few seconds and then things go back to normal, which is bizarre. Anybody been more successful than me and have some tips?...

Grub2 corrupted because of a motherboard short?

CPU cooler heatpipe touched a chip on the motherboard, shorting the motherboard. How this is even possible when I mounted as per instructions I don't know. I removed the cooler and seemingly have fixed the short, because powering on with power pins is no longer unstable (it powers on consistently all the time). I can boot to memtest and Bazzite live iso but I cant boot to Bazzite installed on the ssd. I am guessing Grub bootloader has been corrupted or something? How do I go about and restore/repair it? EDIT: I can get to Bazzite live iso only through grub2 mode, regular option wont work (goes into emergency)...

Extra Storage not being added to Steam

I added a NVMe to my Framework Desktop and when i go to add it in to Steam, Steam does nothing at all and doesnt end up adding it. I formatted my NVMe to exFAT and i can use it as a drive and move files in and out and create folders. When i added it to steam it even created a steamapps folder but still can’t actually select games to install them there

Legion Go + Bazzite runs worse than windows, 50%+ drop in performance.

So I just downloaded and installed Bazzite yesterday, and I have noticed some things that are not lining up with what others have said/experienced with it. My Go is consistently getting much worse performance on games that it shouldn't be getting worse performance on (Sniper Elite 4 at 800p lowest settings at 20w is getting 30-50 fps and it bounces. At 15w it goes below 15fps). I was expecting some loss of performance, but not to this extent. And all of my games have been crashing more frequentl...

Solution:

Ok, so apparently the updater in steam BPM was not downloading all the updates I needed, however I went into desktop mode and entered ujust update into terminal and it downloaded th necessary updates i needed, tdp is working great, and now I'm getting 60+ fps in SE4 at 800p ultra settings

Gamescope irrecoverably crashing when triggering Steam Menu after hitting VRAM max

CPU: AMD 7500F GPU: RTX 4060LP Bazzite ver deck-nvidia-gnome:testing latest When using Game Mode, after getting VRAM max (8gb on my system), attempting to trigger the Steam menu/overlay results in it crashing to a black screen. I can still hear the menu audio but there’s no visual. I’m able to exit the menu and play the game normally but the only way to recover from this is usually a restart since exiting the game to desktop just takes me back to a black screen as well. Attempted to disable GPU accelerated web rendering without it helping. If anyone has any other ideas please let me know....

Desktop Movement

Hello all, just here from Windows. Ive booted up Bazzite and the desktop keeps moving. There is also a small white bar upper left that activates it. When it moves it makes a square in the middle of the screen and shows icons on the bottom, then when it moves away the square goes full screen and hides the icons. Ive tried searching for desktop effects and turning off zoom in accessibility but the movement continues. Is there a way to turn it off?

Dual Monitor quirks with Bazzite

I'm having some growing pains with Bazzite and my 2 monitors. I'm used to Windows making the taskbar be on the primary display or have it on both. In Bazzite I'm finding that the taskbar goes on the non-primary monitor. Is this common/designed as intended? To add to this I'm also routinely disable 1 monitor when I stream. For context I have a Elgato HD60X plugged into 1 of the monitors (Monitor 1) , I disable monitor 1 when I stream so I can lock everything to monitor 2 so if I need to open anything it will always open on monitor 2, when I disable monitor 1 in Bazzite the taskbar disappears entirely, doesn't matter which monitor was primary it will just disappear. When I re-enable monitor 1 it does go back to where it was but I find it weird. Is there something I can run to refresh/restart the UI to enable the taskbar?...

Solution:

Got it. Honestly I like KDE, it's highly customizable which is a blessing and a curse. There is not really a concept of a "primary" task bar. You customize each task bar on each screen individually. My guess is that when you disable a monitor, KDE goes "oh, new setup configuration, let me reset myself to nothing". So, if you add a task bar to your monitor where it is missing, it should remember you settings for each monitor state. There are a whole host of customization you can do on the taskbars in KDE, but it does take a bit of fiddling to make it work how you want....

Please help! I can't boot! Emergency mode?

I tried to turn on my mini PC today, and I got an error saying it was going into Emergency Mode. I tried to follow the instructions here: https://docs.bazzite.gg/Advanced/rescue-and-emergency-mode/ Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get to the boot menu from there, and pressing Ctrl + D just gave me the error shown in red. I'm still a noob, so I'm pretty lost. Can anyone please help me get my system up and running again? ...

"Listen" to Elgato HD60X in Bazzite

I've got a more of a personalised question. I'm running the HD60X through my PC for streaming my Xbox Series X (XSX). While gaming I have the the XSX through my HD60X in "Listen to this device" so I can 1 hear what's going to stream and 2 for when I want to play off stream I can just hear it without changing headphones. So far I found that you can use Pulse Audio to enable Loopback with this command "pacmd load-module module-loopback latency_msec=1" but I'm wondering if there is a better way to run the same style as before or a way of running pulse audio with the command on start up to allow passive audio. Update: I have it working on Audiopulse and set it up so it starts on start-up. It's not remembering any settings/commands that were set previously which is rather annoying. Also found that since OBS uses audiopulse for it's audio capture if I open OBS (either accidentally or deliberately) it will kill the audio from the Elgato until I kill both processes and essentially start again with more resets....

Solution:

Ended up just opening OBS in the background when I change between Xbox and Bazzite

Modding Help with Bazzite

So I am trying to mod fallout new vegas to do another playthrough on it and I am following Viva New Vegas as the modding guide. The problem is that when I try and run the install.sh file on my pc it keeps saying it cannot find the prefix for Fallout New Vegas. I have already enabled Proton 9.0-4 compatibility on steam, and I have even regenerated the prefix (i think I did so correctly, used ChatGPT for that lol) but it still does not work. Ostree is not compatible with Protontricks so I had to c...

Rebassing to bazzite-dx somehow defaults to gamescope-session (skipping sddm)

Quick context, this was originally a normal bazzite install, then went to bazzite-deck for a couple months, then back to bazzite:stable.. I just did a rebase to bazzite-dx:stable, and somehow rebooted into a gamescope session.. Trying to wrap my head around this one.. rpm-ostree does indeed show bazzite-dx as the only thing deployed: ``` rpm-ostree status 2025年09月29日 23時14分35秒...

How to rescale Steam Deck Performance Overlay

Running Bazzite on my HTPC on a 4K TV, but can't seem to change the scaling of the steam performance overlay, or the mouse cursor when it's present, in Gaming Mode. Any ideas on how I can change the scaling for both ? Every other part of the scaling is fine oddly enough....
