@ChaiQi you dual booted a couple of fedora atomic OSes on the same drive right?

HHey friends! I'm new to Bazzite... is the expected behavior that "switch to desktop" leaves gaming mode and goes right to whatever DE (I used gnome)? Or will it stop at the display manager to choose a session?
VBriefly yeah
KGoing straight to your desktop is expected, that's exactly how Steam OS functions
KYou're never shown the login screen
KIf you need a lock screen, Steam can provide one in its own settings in game mode
Lcould you help me get it running, it doesnt want to run with my GPU when i add the PCI passthrough to the VM.
Lbefore i added it, it just crashed during install. (hope thats the reason)
VMight be a bit beyond me, sorry 
Lyou said you've ran bazzite on proxmox?
Li know how to do PCI passthrough, i just wanna know how to get bazzite working since it just crashes on me.
Kwhat gpu are you passing through?
LAMD Radeon 470
Kmight be too old
Kgamescope is picky
Lfor it to even boot?
Kboot no, reach gamemode yes
Lit doesnt even boot, says something about QEMU exiting with code 1
HOk, yeah, that's what i'm used to with my SteamDeck... with Bazzite, however, it just returns back to gaming mode after i try to go to desktop.
Kthat would be your DE crashing
Kin that case
Kwould need a log to know why
Hperfect. do you know where the gnome session log is? I can start triaging from that
Cyes

CAh, this is doable
It requires "advanced-custom" manual partitioning, and a certain cursed trick
It requires "advanced-custom" manual partitioning, and a certain cursed trick
CPartitioning scheme here https://github.com/aarron-lee/legion-go-tricks/blob/main/bazzite-dualboot-partition-guide.md
CThe trick is that to install fedora atomic twice, you need to create a separate system-efi partition for the second copy
CWindows can be added to each copy of Grub; there may or may not be a way to add other copies/types of Linux, I don't know, but it doesn't happen automatically
CThe only way (that I know of) to toggle between Bazzite and Bluefin installed in parallel is the BIOS/UEFI boot menu
CWhich is entirely doable - it's just much less convenient than going directly through Grub
Thello anyone got an idea on how to run Nexus mods on bazzite ?
Tshould i layer it or flatpack or distrobox it ?
Aon proton game just install it normally i think
Aon native game not sure
FThis is what I was worried about
FI don't mind going through the bios but it's a little more friction to change the preferred boot order each time
FBut thanks for the link. I'll consider it but I might just keep using two separate machines
CAgain, someone who knows more about configuring Grub might have a way to add boot options from elsewhere on the system, since it works for Windows
CI just don't know how or where to look for that info
ACant you use same efi partition for both system? Or is it a limitation from atomic fedora
FI had nix and silverblue on the same system at one point and nix's grub could recognize silverblue deployments? So probably possible somehow
AGrub is grub, pretty sure you can easily use same efi for traditional distro
CUsually you can. The tricky part is that I was effectively installing two copies of the same OS in parallel, which an automated installer can't really do in the same place without name/reference conflicts
AI mean you are already use custom partitioning anyway right? Cant you reuse the efi? Just need to make sure it is big enough
CI don't know if you can do that with any OS at all
AMaybe i will try to experiment in vm when i can
CThe consensus of Ublue / Red Hat / OS installer / general OS development people here regarding a lot of things I have done was "nobody ever does that, I have no idea"
CIncluding the most basic aspect of using the "advanced-custom" partitioning option in the installer at all
CI figured that out by trial and error with assistance and reference info courtesy of @jstone (thanks again by the way

JI mean, if you wanna support that, that's on you lol
