r/Bazzite

I've switched to Linux 4-5 months back and had one specific issue that, during incredibly demanding games, my PC had a small chance to lock up entirely. I've been doing a bunch of my own research for the last few months trying various fixes and diagnoses methods and one thing kept popping up when using AI to gather data in one place. The AMD 7900XTX is the only AMD GPU to have this issue on Linux.

I'm currently benchmarking a few fixes to ensure which one works, if any, and will make an update post if I can find a solution. I am just curious to see what you guys think in the meantime while I gather more data.

I love using the steam deck’s suspend/resume but when moonlight streaming to a windows PC, I can’t suspend the host PC (at least I don’t think it’s recommended?)

Was wondering how feasible suspending the moonlight bazzite host from a client handheld is. Anyone tried this?

It’d be a combo of:

Suspend Bazzite from handheld shortcut press

Suspend Steam Deck

Resume steam deck with moonlight “wake“ host feature

I'm stuck on Bazzite 42. I've checked for updates in all places within Bazzite and all avenues for updates are telling me that my system is up to date. I've started seeing a warning on start up that says something like "this OS is past its support date".

Any suggestions for updating to 44?

UPDATE

Alright, so this is super embarrassing. In handheld mode I went to "update system software" and nothing happened. So I went to desktop mode and went into settings where all I was presented with was "Manual" or "Automatic" for system updates (manual was selected). My next move was to check for updates using the "updates" app (can't remember what it's called and now that I'm on 43 it's no longer showing up). I allowed all updates to go through and yet still I was on Bazzite 42. It was at that point that I made this post. Here's the embarrassing part: a few minutes ago I noticed in the Bazzite menu (not sure what it's actually called) "System Update". Needless to say, running that got me to 43. 🤦‍♂️ Sorry to waste everyone's time. In my defense, I'm used to both macOS and Windows where system updates happen through system settings, not through a separate app.

Hi guys.

What's your experience with bazzite?

Indulge me.

What games gave you played and compared to windows resource vampire machine?

Hey everyone, first time I've ever shipped something so bear with me. I got tired of having to look up shader cache paths every time I needed to clear them after a driver update or Proton regression, so I threw together a little tool called UnShade.

It reads your Steam config to find all your libraries automatically, pops up a checklist so you can pick what to clear, and lives in your app menu so you never have to touch a terminal. One-line install. Also works in Game Mode using "Quick Launch" Decky Plugin.

Let me know if you run into any issues or anything looks broken on your setup. Hope someone finds it useful!

Hi everybody, I might need a little help.

First off, english is not my first language, so please excuse my writing. I own a barely-used GO Z1, and I really like the device. Since I'm not a huge fan of Windows, I installed bazzite, but I keep running into a couple of problems.

First off, my WiFi connection is... weird? The download speed for games is pretty normal, but while playing it's just off.

I played Slay the Spire 2 with a buddy of mine, while the game ran smooth, the voice chat via discord was just bad. (I installed Discord in Dekstop mode and added it to Steam, if that's any helpful?) I had very poor audio, the sound for my friend was just awful. He described it as if my WiFi was constanly breaking up an reconnecting.

Second, I played Diablo 4 for a couple of hours, and it was just laggy as hell. (Installed Bnet via Faugus launcher, which I added to Steam btw) My gutt tells me, that the device should be powerful enough, but since D4 requires Internet all the time, I thought this might be the same problem as with the voice chat?

I'm really unexperienced in using Linux distributions, so I'd be really thankful for any help. Might this just be a settings problem? Might another distribution work better? Since I'm about to chance the stock SSD fpr a 1TB one, I'm about to flash a new OS anyways, so I might as well try another OS, if one is recommended.

Hello all,

I have recently switched over from windows and have been loving bazzite overall, but have been running into a wierd issue with Discord the last couple days where whenever I fullscreen Discord, and only Discord as far as I can tell, it causes really strange and intense screenflickering which will transfer to other applications for a few seconds when I tab out, only to calm down again. Running discord in a smaller window does not cause this problem. Drivers are up to date, and I have done my due diligence in trying to find any other causes or similar issues on the internet and have come up dry. Truly no clue what is going on, I assume some sort of compatibility issue but I have no clue how to go about fixing it.

Hello, i am trying to get my computer to have some performance (poor 8gb ram stick) so i have looked into gaming linux distros and have chosen bazzite. Any tips for an first time user?

In desktop mode I have my user scale set to 300%, so I can see things easier on my TV. I added Vesktop as a non steam game from desktop mode. When I open Vesktop from gaming mode, everything is very small. How can I change the scaling of Vesktop for gaming mode?

Hi, still quite new to both Linux (Bazzite) and MakeMKV which I want to install, this is still more of a Bazzite question I think.

I had the Flatpack from the store, found out it's not official and wanted to install MakeMKV from soure.

This seems involved on Bazzite.

So what I understand is I need a Distrobox with Ubuntu for example
In there I install the prerequisites

Then make Makemkv

1 Is it fine to use BoxBuddy flatpack to organize this and further Distroboxes or will that cause problem on Bazzite?

2 Downloading the 2 MakeMKV files and unpacking
https://www.makemkv.com/download/makemk ... 8.3.tar.gz
https://www.makemkv.com/download/makemk ... 8.3.tar.gz

I am lost on how to do this in the Ubuntu box

I guess I would download and unpack them in the filesystem in the box, but it's only terminal which I have very little experience in.

Is this the correct approach? I will then try to figure it out.

Thx
