generally the reccomendation is not to fork bazzite but to simply make your own custom image based on bazzite
Gif you are looking to install a whole slew of customizations and you want to move everything to your own image
DBazzite is built entirely in GitHub and creating your own custom version of it is as easy as forking this repository, adding a private signing key, and enabling GitHub actions.
That's what I was talking about ^
Gyou can do that, but it depends on what you are trying to do with it
Gif it's just adding a couple of packages, files, etc. Then basing your image off it rather than forking is much easier
DAt this stage, I just want to include a bunch of extra packages.
Gif you're changing something core to bazzite, adding hardware support, kernel drivers, etc, then forking it might be your only option
DWdym basing my image off it?
GGitHub
Starting point for making your own OS image. Contribute to ublue-os/startingpoint development by creating an account on GitHub.
Gthere's a part of the config that allows you to change the image your are basing off of, you can change it to the link to the bazzite OCI image you want to base off of
DBut won't that mean I won't get any future changes Bazzite makes to it's base?
Git means you will
Gbecause you are basing off of bazzite you don't have to worry about merge conflicts, etc with newer versions, you just use the newest bazzite version every time you build
Gwhenever you make an OCI image, you usually pass in a
FROM statement that states which image you are inheriting from, in bazzite's case, it's inheriting from ublue main, but you can also create your own image and inherit directly from bazziteGublue startingpoint happens to be the easiest way to get started making a ublue image and adding simple packages, fonts, bling, etc
MHas anyone tried SteamTinkerlauncher?
TI have. It generally works well except for installing Vortex.
TDid the latest steamos update break steam-patch?
TSo TDP control still works but tdp slider is back to showing 15w max, and the actual tdp you select isn't always accurate but yeah
MYes it did. There’s been a lot of updates to it in the past few days to address the broken UI and to add support for the Legion Go’s two front Lenovo buttons
Mthe visual change and new frame rate limiter broke it but the current maintainer has been very prompt with updating his GitHub for continued support
KI redid my fork to be on top of the newest stuff
KSo we just do minor changes and build as an RPM in copr
Moh nice, that’s great
Aif anybody wants a temporary TDP solution, I threw together a simple decky plugin for basic TDP control, requires manual installation:

currently using it on my Legion Go with Bazzite 39

Ait uses ryzenadj, so you should do a quick check to make sure it's working on your install of bazzite (
sudo ryzenadj -i, you should see a table with values)Anote that on the Legion Go, you'll need polling enabled
Athe Go has an issue where the hardware somehow eventually resets TDP to Lenovo's performance profile values. HC works around this on the Windows side unintentionally due to how it basically constantly writes TDP values.
AIdeally, Lenovo will release a bios fix for the weird TDP behavior
ZIs there a way to use mesa-git on bazzite-deck?
Fonly by using distrobox you prefer
Zso "normal" mesa isn't through distrobox?
Fyou have to install it there too, unless that distrobox offers mesa-git by default
KRight, steam is layered into the image so it's using our Mesa which is Fedora's + patches from Valve
KSo you can set up a distribution with Mesa git and run stuff through that, which works great
Fyou can try to use some Proton which bundles mesa-git changes on Steam
same goes for Wine in Bottles/Lutris
same goes for Wine in Bottles/Lutris
KOr update our mesa, but the former is by far the recommended
FProton-GE & Wine-GE bundles git bleeding changes f.e.
ZYeah I know those, I'm rather unfamiliar with distrobox though, I've only used it once to check an arch command, is there any documentation to help me do that (and handle the driver switch?)
FDisregard my comments about Wine & Proton, I mistook Mesa & DXVK
Kujust distrobox-archKdistrobox enter archKThen update to mesa git exactly how your would on arch
KWe package paru in that image
KSo you can use that for the AUR
Tyou would have to install and run the program inside of that container btw
Tif you want it to use
mesa-gitZSo I should have a second steam installation inside distrobox?
KYeah you'd need to
Tthere's
bazzite-arch which is an arch linux container that iirc has mesa-git, steam, and other gaming tools preinstalled in the container
