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
C?
JI'm just saying, there's a reason we take a stance on that for users, it's nothing personal
CThat is not what I was talking about
CWhen I asked about the possibility or methods to install things certain ways, it was because my personal situation warranted the attempt and risk, but the response was not "there is a risk and we provide no warranty or guarantee of success"
CIt was "we don't know how this works and we can't help you"
BI think you can install steamtinkerlaunch through Proton-QT. Then on Steam, use the steamtinkerlaunch compatibility option.
Next is to install Mod Manager 2 or Vortex after you launch it.
Next is to install Mod Manager 2 or Vortex after you launch it.
CThe stance y'all adopted of being solidly and somewhat aggressively against same-drive dual booting under any and all circumstances instead of emphatically neutral and non-liable came 6-8 months later
JWe're just following what fedora recommends.
CIt is a fair and reasonable stance as the maintainers of a community-facing project with a wide audience of relatively average users
KAlso DE switching
Kyeah, not supportable by us given how much can just randomly break
Kour recommendation is always reinstall, and if you don't and stuff breaks, it's probably "lol reinstall"
KNot that a small support base is nessisarily a bad thing- Especially on a distro like Bazzite
CI wonder if Cosmic will be an option for DE switching since it was designed separately from the ground up, in contrast with KDE which starts with Gnome templates and then butchers the config files
Jyeah if the desktops do what they're supposed to be doing in the first place all that stuff should work
Cgets real ugly when they share any of the same files/names/locations 
AIf they just put their own config in like .kde or .gnome, multi de would be super easy
MHow is everyone doing?
