Sudo: add-apt-repository: command not found
Hi! im trying to get wow on lutis to work. and so far i have been able to launch it, but the performance is bad. and it seems like i need to install some vulkan support and such. however the command to install them gives me the above error. Im sure im just missing something "obvious" but i am very confused and would love some help 🙂
command that i am trying to run "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa && sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 && sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y nvidia-driver-535 libvulkan1 libvulkan1:i386"

that's because bazzite is not ubuntu, nor debian
everything you need is preinstalled here
Oh, so everything in that command is already installed?
if not, how do i figure out what is and what isnt?
you don't need to worry about drivers, vulkan and everything
assuming you choose correct hardware while downloading bazzite
okay, so drivers wouldnt be the issue for bad performance in that case. do you happen to have experience with wow performance via lutris? 😛
I don't play wow, so I can't help here
fair enough, thank you for your response and taking the time 😄
what's your gpu? what does
brh current says?its very old. 1060. But could get non stuttery 30 fps on windows
i dont exaclty know what i am looking at with the brh command. you want a copy paste or?
yes, post the output here

oh, I see why then
you for some reason picked the standard bazzite image
oh shit really?
yeah, but
could have sworn i chose the nvidia one...
you can rebase to another image without re-installing
oh thats awesome! how would i go about that?
all your files and apps will be fine
considering your gpu, you'll need to run this command:
brh rebase bazzite-nvidia:stable
after it's done just reboot and check for system updates just in caseawesome, ill try that. Out of curiosity, how did you see that i chose the wrong one? is it "stateroot" or?
see the string after "ublue-os/"?
bazzite here is just the regular desktop image for amd and intel gpusoh right yeah i see
so it would say nvidia-stable when i rebase or something?
there's also
bazzite-nvidia and bazzite-nvidia-open, which comes with nvidia drivers. since your gpu is kinda old, you'll need the first one
kinda yeahah okay, that makes sense! 😄
am currently debaseing. will report when its done 😄

there we go! 😄
Thank u very much for your help!
another question, if you dont mind, and it would be completely cool if you dont feel like spending more time on me, but do you have any experience with steam link? i am getting poor performance when going from my stationary (windows) to my laptop (the one with bazzite). alot of lag and such. is this common?
honestly no clue, never touched steam link
but at least the main problem was resolved?
right, lemme open wow and see for a moment.
totally fair, thanks again for your assistance so far 😄
Had it launch to a black screen (with sound) once but restarted it. and now that i am ingame it seems to be performing great! approx the same as on windows 😄
So, yes. the problem was indeed solved 😄 I once again thank u for taking the time 🙂 I very much appreicate it 😄
I'll also recommend checking out bazzite docs, so you'll know what's allowed and what's not (like apt stuff):
