RRadicalR Question! Is it possible to boot bazzite from an external drive?

HikariKnight•11/27/23, 2:16 AM

not recommended as there are a lot of issues that can come from it (and it is not a supported usecase).
it can work fine for just testing (like i did to begin with to prep and migrate things since my system is kinda weirdly configured)
the reason is that for external ssds, the controller for the enclosure has to be good, the usb controller for the mobo has to be good, the cable has to be good and the ssd has to be decent too..
so it may work or it may not work properly

RadicalR•11/27/23, 2:16 AM

Ah, I see.

Alright, second question, how does eGPUs works with Bazzite?

steam-patch is already in bazzite but it does not handle input, that is handled by handygccs as that wont break from random steam updates
as you can see at https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite#custom-packages it is listed there

eGPUs on Linux in general are iffy

tryhardsoccermomswag•11/27/23, 2:40 AM

thunderbolt is your best bet

RadicalR•11/27/23, 2:40 AM

Oh yeah, I'm planning on running it over TB

tryhardsoccermomswag•11/27/23, 2:40 AM

ik this isnt arch, but this is probably the best documentation on egpu support on linux

HikariKnight•11/27/23, 3:09 AM

will just say this before heading to bed, i had the same issue on 38, its an upstream bug with bluez to my understanding and its fixed in 39
so as long you have rebased to :39 or :latest it might be fixed for you if its the same issue, gives you at least something to try if you are still on the :38 image
anyways goodnight.

StaticCurrent•11/27/23, 3:10 AM

Can you or someone link me how to update?

if you're not, rebase to it with the instructions in the github readme

Kyle Gospo•11/27/23, 3:11 AM

if you're on deck, you can update from gamemode

I think someone here does stuff for Fedora on social media?

This recently started happening with me using Forge tiling manager in GNOME. when xwaylandvideobridge on my desktop is running (presumably on startup), a blank white uninteractive window takes up one app's space in the tiling manager

termdisc•11/27/23, 3:57 AM

for example

termdisc•11/27/23, 3:58 AM

I had been using Forge for months, but the issue only showed up today after some updates

termdisc•11/27/23, 3:59 AM

as a related matter, I'm seeing the xwaylandvideobridge window on my Deck lately, so I think a recent bazzite update must've introduced it

termdisc•11/27/23, 4:02 AM

I can work around the issue by either killing xwaylandvideobridge or just using a second desktop instead

Hey guys new Bazzite Desktop user here, just spent the last 7 hours learning btrfs to be able to move my /home to another SSD - I managed in the end

One question, do we have any non-immutable folder in root where we could put another Steam Library?

The Sun•11/27/23, 4:40 AM

Case is my system is on a super fast NVME and my Home is now on an SSD but If I could play some games from the NVME I would be golden as it is much faster

termdisc•11/27/23, 6:40 AM

you'd be hardpressed to find a noticeable difference in game performance between a SATA SSD and an NVMe

termdisc•11/27/23, 6:42 AM

that said, the only user-writable folder is /home/home, which is something that should be living on the NVMe anyway

termdisc•11/27/23, 6:44 AM

because it sounds like you've either mounted the SSD to /home/home or alternatively symlinked it, you will need to create a new folder or partition that exists outside of the standard folder deployments and add that back as a steam library

termdisc•11/27/23, 6:45 AM

that sounds messy to me, so I won't be providing further assistance
