Question Is there anyway to do EmulationStation + Retro Arch bypassing EMUDeck? (like you can in windows)
wolfyreload

You can install RetroArch directly in steam https://store.steampowered.com/app/1118310/RetroArch/ if you don't want to install EMUDeck For EmulationStation you can use the app image https://www.es-de.org/#Download and install it with Gear Lever What is your use-case though? EMUDeck install too many things?

I find EMudeck to be to bloated and to complicated while I found that emulationstation and retro arch just seems to work and was super straight forward (on windows anyways)

Makes sense, too many things installed that you don't need/want to use. Let me know if you can install RetroArch and EmulationStation and everything works.

Are you using Nvidia? Sometimes it has sleep issues
Xaniene
XanieneOP2w ago

Any ideas what a AMD card equilvient that isn't a downgrade to a 3070TI would cost?

Ok Done ok so I have chrome set as default yet when I open links from telegram or discord its still opening it in firefox, how to fix thankies
wolfyreload
wolfyreload2w ago
chrome probably doesn't have permission to make change a system setting like changing the default application. Try change it explicity in the settings and see if that works

Alt+Tabbing allows me to rotate to any window I currently have open is there a short cut combination to open up the terminal so I can restart kde?
wolfyreload
wolfyreload2w ago
CTRL+ALT+T should open up the terminal. You might be able to start plasma with startplasma-wayland not sure if that will work though In the Powersettings maybe turn off dim screen and turn of screen and see if that makes a difference

I turned off dim, but ya the kde crashes have became more frequently since the latest kde updates

I use gated updates with nvidia. You run bazzite-rollback-helper list you get a list of all the versions available then you run bazzite-rollback-helper rebase <insert version here> if an update is bad I just stick with the older version for another week. Your other software will update but you have to explicitly update the image. Very nice for finding which update made Bazzite unstable for you recently though the latest has been pretty stable for me for quite a while now

sometimes nvidia flatpak driver can bork things too
wolfyreload
wolfyreload2w ago
full black screen sounds more like a full kde crash though. Or maybe a flatpak in front of the screen crashed. Difficult to tell
asen23
asen232w ago
i didnt mean that flatpak caused that, but i have heard issue like flatpak not launching or behaving weird cause the driver is bugged
