Solution

Continue only if your device is affected


  1. Modify boot loader entries

Bazzite has two bootloader entries for two ostrees, both located at /boot/loader/entries, and named ostree-1.conf and ostree-2.conf

Modify both of those entries and add the following to the
options
line:
i915.enable-psr=0


The placement of this string doesn't matter so long as it comes after options

Make sure you have modified both ostree-1.conf and ostree-2.conf
