means goverlay itself is broken, if it's in a box it uses the libraries in the box

goverlay probably has to be compiled with qt6 support or something, at least that’s my guess.

@Kyle Gospo Okay there are apparently 2 versions in the fedora repo, the 0.9 works.

I mean I don't really need goverlay anymore, since the flatpak works on everything I tried, but I like to have goverlay just as configurator, because I'm not good at editing the config

And i don't know if the goverlay "enable global" setting did the trick that the flatpaks works on everything

I don’t really know, I’ve literally never opened the app on any of my setups before.

introducing goverlay and its consequences have been a disaster for bazzite

Kid

K

KidOP•4/29/24, 6:23 AM

Thats how I like it. When I try a new game I check the performance :D

And bazzite is the first distro (for me) that displays CPU power consumption!
