There's a bug with btrfs in the 6.15.4+ kernel. The fix is in the top pinned message in the bazzite channel and a tread here: https://discord.com/channels/1072614816579063828/1392630488241410191

So far everyone has recovered from it
ok let me install gparted on a usb
gparted is one of the best
Yeah, it's a lifesaver. When using wallpapper engine have this bookmarked for when/if you pick an incompatible wallpaper btw: https://docs.bazzite.gg/General/Desktop_Environment_Tweaks/#wallpaper-engine-guide-only-on-kde-images

oh btw im not curently on an hdr display but whenever I use hdr on my tv games wont output in hdr im using a 4070
probably is just nivida being nivida on linux moment
You need proton ge 10+ and enable wayland and hdr with flags in order for it to work. Alternatively you can use gamescope
Whats gamescope?
Nah hdr is still undercooked on linux. Great that it finally works
Kinda am new to Linux had a steam deck for a bit tho ever since it cameout
Gamescope is the compositor that valve created for steamos
Oh?
I'll give a few examples of the launch arguments you need for hdr
Ok cool
PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 mangohud %command%
for the wayland hdr with proton ge 10+ (mangohud is just the performance metrics overlay)
gamescope -f --hdr-enabled -h 2160 --mangoapp -- %command%
for gamescope forced fullscreen 4k resolution
Thonk

Ahh make sense lol
My brain
Yeah this is the nastiest bug I've seen in a long while
And im rebooting
So far I had a nice experience with bazzite
Yeah, I'm loving it. Went full windows free after 3 months on it
Been doing a thing I wouldnt recommend distro hopping but finally just said I need to stick with it
I cant leave windows anti cheat games
Distro hopping is fun for a while. bazzite is advanced linux on easy mode
I wanted to go mint
I really do
But I had crakling audio
I heard mint got wayland now so W
Mint is fine, but for gaming or with recent hardware the main gaming distros are best imo. Cachy and nobarra are just too much maintenance for me
got this error while trying to install the plugin
"wallpaper-engine-kde-plugin" is already provided by: wallpaper-engine-kde-plugin-100.ed58dd8b-1.bazzite.x86_64. Use --allow-inactive to explicitly require it.
wait does bazzite just have it by default
The plugin is installed yeah
yoooo ok
cool it works

now I just need to wait for steam to install all my wallpapers
If you can update, do so. There have been some mitigation for the bug implemented, but it's not fully fixed yet. A lot of disk changes and unclean shutdown may still lead to this state 😦
so do ujust update right?
man the freedom linux is
I can update while using my pc
