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....

System hangs while playing games.

Recently moved to bazzite. Little experience with Linux in general. Treat me as a newbie. Sometimes while playing games (modded minecraft, World of warcraft, steam games like project zomboid) the system hangs for a couple minutes. Audio keeps repeating on loop the last 0.5-1s that was playing when this happened, nothing can be done, mouse won't even move. Usually system recovers after few minutes and goes back to working normally as if nothing happened but sometimes a hard reset is necessary. I usually have YouTube playing on one screen (brave browser), Discord open on another and a game on the primary. I noticed that this issue seems to hit harder with more demanding games such as modded minecraft....

Solution:

it's possible that you're running out with 16gb of RAM

5 questions about 4K TV, laptop battery and passwords

Hey! I'm slowly moving my computers from windows to bazzite after some experience with kinoite. I've encountered several issues but I'm not quite sure which part of the distro they are related to (DE, Fedora, ublue) or if they are known/worked on. Can you help me sort them out so I can report them if needed? Thanks! 1. I've got a bazzite install hooked up to my 4k tv but by default the scaling is nonexistent which makes both install, login and looking for the scaling menu a complete pain. Got that on both gnome and kde. Is there an auto scaling default in the works? Is it possible to set scaling globally per display? 2. For my tv, I usually use a passwordless account. I managed to set one up at install but then kde doesn't let me create new accounts with empty passwords or edit an existing one for a blank password. Is there a bypass for that?...

Bazzite Desktop - Unable to open Steam Overlay

I've been playing BG3 and normally I can Shift + Tab to open the steam overlay while playing the game. It seems after the latest patch I can no longer use that shortcut to open the overlay (i'm guessing it's because it has a linux native version now?). How can I open the steam overlay without using Shift + Tab?

Baby's first clicks

Hey all, I'm incredibly new to Linux as a platform, and have been trying desperately to troubleshoot my wifi for the past half an hour with any forums/tutorials already available here and elsewhere. The problem that I'm trying to solve is that my wifi USB adapter isn't showing up, and by proxy, Bazzite is saying that there's no available connections. If it helps, my USB Wifi adapter is a TP-Link Archer TX1800U Nano, if there are any compatibility issues. Could be as simple as me having to take a loss on this adapter and grabbing another compatible Wifi-6 USB adapter....

New Device Ayaneo Flip 1s KB

Hey guys, just got a flip 1s KB and was wondering if you guys were interested in helping solve a few problems? What I’ve observed so far: * performance overlay not reading W usage for CPU correctly (attached photo of it showing 0W) * two buttons can’t seem to be mapped (custom ones next to shoulder) * potentially TDP limit not working? (Might be linked to not reading Watts usage correctly)...

Suspend not able to come back with keyboard input

I was trying to figure out why over the last month or so I have not had success being able to come back from suspend. I was following this thread and rolled back https://discord.com/channels/1072614816579063828/1415975161017929859/1420931072811733064 However, I was unable to sucessfully suspend. The fans & lights are on. I've done troubleshooting via chatgpt, to get me at least here that it could be the gpu? this is the output of journalctl -b -1 | grep -i "suspend|resume" https://paste.centos.org/view/f2ceb114...

Chromium browsers running at 48% of max refresh rate on Gnome with VRR

I recently rebased my KDE installation to bazzite-gnome:stable just to see how things are on the GNOME side, made a new user to avoid config mixups, and logged in. Everything seemed very nice, except that flatpak Brave and Chromium browsers (ozone platform wayland) run at at a maximum of 83fps and feel noticeably laggy on my 170hz monitor when VRR is enabled on it. I have two monitors, 1440p 170hz and 4k 60hz. When VRR off, they run 170fps. Turning VRR on or off on my second monitor makes no difference. I have tested this on openSUSE tumbleweed and regular fedora and the same issue occurs when using GNOME (it's fine on plasma), even when using non-flatpak versions of said browsers. I don't think Bazzite itself or flatpak are the problem, but I am wondering if there is a workaround/fix for it?...

Trying to install anything inside ublue-os/arch-distrobox fails

I tried several Arch distrobox variants but so far, only docker and quay.io is behaving. When I try to install anything with pacman inside of an arch-distrobox, it always fails with 404, but it works fine in the other variants. Am I missing something here?...

Solution:

pacman -Syu doesn't help?

KDE Performance on certain windowed applications is extremely laggy.

I moved from using the GNOME graphical interface to KDE as I was having that common issue where the mouse will go off the screen to a secondary monitor when playing a game. Only reason I'm bringing this up is because this issue was not present on there but is here. The issue I'm having is where some applications are laggy while others are not. For an example I could use FIreFox, Google Chrome or playing a game and its completely fine. But two applications which i use that are having this slowdown is Steam and Discord. If anyone knows if I'm doing something wrong or if there is a fix it would be much appreciated!...

My computer is no longer booting into Bazzite

Hi there. I've had a Bazzite/Windows setup in my computer for some time, but I can no longer boot into Bazzite. I've tried many methods to boot into it, but it seems that my computer isn't recognizing the OS. I think this happened after I updated Bazzite and booted Windows from GRUB. Since then, I've also updated Windows. It could be any of that, but I don't know what caused this problem, and I need help determining how to fix my computer. I've tried running Boot Repair from a pen drive with a live Linux environment. My home partition is encrypted, and I've de-encrypted and mounted it. Still, Boot Repair gave this warning: ```...

Solution:

The problem was that I had messed up the boot partition's flags. That's why the bootloader fixer wasn't working.

OLED 32gb mod question

I recently found out that the OLED can now be modded with 32gb of ram. Like the LCD model. Does bazzite work with this on the OLED model as well?

[discord feature req] A cleaner web experience for this forum

Hey! I saw this forum uses AnswerOverflow to sync Discord threads to the web. I’m building Paladin, a smoother, cleaner alternative that makes Discord forums easier to browse on the web. It’s free to use and can run alongside AnswerOverflow, so you don’t have to switch anything to try it out. If it’s helpful, I can spin up a version of Paladin on your forum so you can see how it looks for your community. Is there anything about your current setup you’d like improved? I’d love to see if Paladin can help. 😀 Example Paladin preview attached...

Problems with running Minecraft through Prism Launcher

I switched over to Bazzite recently as i just couldn't take windows anymore. Everything has been going great, except for minecraft. for whatever reason when i play certain mod packs my computer freezes and the only thing i can do to play again is to power cycle my pc. i'm happy to provide more details if that will help solve my problem. Thank you in advance.

Soft Freeze on Ryzen AI 395 max

Hello, I am on an Asus rog flow z13, with the Ryzen AI 395 max+ (the same cpu that is in the new framework desktop if I'm not mistaken). A few months ago I was using Bazzite Deck and I would occaisonally get soft freezes, and if I pressed the power button it would sleep and wake back up unfrozen after thinking for a bit. After using windows for a while, I recently installed Bazzite (non deck) and have the same issue. I have some logs with the freeze.
