USB Keyboard and Mouse Not Working
I have a dock, which attaches to my laptop through USB-C Thunderbolt. Attached to the Dock, I have an Anker HDMI hub. The dock and the hub both support USB A and C. I have 2 USB-A receivers, one in the dock, one in the hub, that connect to my keyboard and mouse respectively. They work fine with Windows 11. However, with bazzite, I can only get them to work if I plug the receivers directly into the laptop. This isn't feasible though as I have a work laptop as well that I plug the thunderbolt dock into when I'm working.
Can anyone help me figure out why bazzite isn't seeing the attached devices? The pass-through is working because it does see the extra monitors and displays on all three monitors. However, it doesn't remember the configuration when I change the layout, making a different monitor than my laptop screen my primary screen. I could use some help figuring out why the configuration doesn't persist through restarts.
The mouse is a Logitech G502 Lightspeed, and the keyboard is a RedDragon Dharma Pro. The dock is a dell dock, and the hub is an Anker hub.
Thank you!

The system now remembers the layout configuration. Not sure why it wasn't working before, but it was proper upon my latest reboot.
I wonder if it has anything to do with the thunderbolt drivers. None of the devices attached to the dock or the hub are visible to Bazzite. I need to resolve this as my microphone and headphones are bluetooth as well.
Another update. While working on it, I plugged the hub directly into the laptop, and bazzite recognized it. So it seems that it's not recognizing the dock for some reason or allowing the passthrough from the dock. Which is weird because the system recognizes the multiple monitors.
Solved.
I had to update the firmware of the dock to the latest version. Though sometimes my mouse isn't recognized even though my keyboard is. It's weird.
