Bazzite & Intel Arc B580 GPU
Hi everyone,
I recently decided to turn Windows my back and wanted to give Linux a go and saw the Gaming Distro Bazzite, which would have worked perfectly for my purposes.
I bought new hardware for a complete new gaming pc - and decided on a Asrock Challenger Intel Arc B580. Since I noticed that Bazzite does support Intel Arc GPUs, I did not really thought there will be a problem. Furthermore I read so many positive things about Linux and gaming in general and a lot of positive reviews about Bazzite. So, I thought this will work smoothly.
But.....
For the last days, I tried to make this setup run together. But it doesn't - and I dont know why.
The Bazzite installation went easy. But when Bazzite boots, I always end up in a black screen. Bazzite is only loading "properly" by adding nomodeset in the linux code line at the start of choosing which ostree setup. And there I can see that my Arc B580 is getting recognised by Bazzite, but it will not actively run the recent update for my GPU - I guess...?!
I am not 100% sure what is actually happening, but I tried to force Bazzite to upgrade to the newest Version and I guess in the end it worked (I saw something like "driver=xe" or similar.
But as soon as I want to boot Bazzite without "nomodeset" the boot gets stuck in the loading-window of Bazzite. So the question basically is:
Is the combination of Bazzite and my GPU possible? If yes: how? If no: why? Because in the ISO drop down menu it says, that Intel Arc GPUs are supported.
Thanks everyone for any help in advance!
