Bitter sweet bazzite 44 deck Nvidia update

I'm aware the Nvidia image is beta but wanted to share my experience because I know others had a similar setup to mine with 50 series and an LG OLED

On Bazzite 43, I had 4k, 120hz, hdr, and VRR working with no visual artifacting at all as long as I turned the TV on before waking the system from sleep.

Now with Bazzite 44, there is persistent line of corruption at the bottom of the screen until I drop down to 1440p. It was there in test a while back, and has carried over into stable.

Again, I'm aware it's an issue that isn't fixable by the bazzite team, just wanted to bring awareness to those other users that it also worked for in 43.

Restricted GPU performance under 44

Have just updated to 44, thank you by the way you guys are amazing.
Have noticed a strange issue with my performance though. Running a 9070xt, the first image is running 43, campaign evolved pulling 300w giving 60-70fps like normal. Second image, same settings and area of the game, running 44. Now only pulling 116w and running at 46fps. Any ideas?

Bazzite 44 – How do I get Sunshine to automatically start in Gamescope/Game Mode?

I updated to Bazzite 44 and saw that Sunshine had been removed. After doing some Googling, I found the Bazzite documentation explaining that Sunshine is no longer included in the base image and the alternative installation methods.

I ended up installing the community-maintained COPR version with:

sudo dnf5 copr enable pvermeer/sunshine

rpm-ostree install sunshine-beta

It worked, and I'm actually getting the best Sunshine performance I've ever had.

The only issue is that after restarting the PC, Sunshine doesn't seem to start while I'm in Gamescope/Game Mode. I have to switch over to Desktop Mode first, which starts Sunshine, and then I can return to Game Mode and everything works.

Has anyone using the pvermeer COPR version figured out how to have Sunshine automatically start at boot and be available directly in Gamescope without having to enter Desktop Mode first?

I'm basically trying to make the PC completely headless – boot it up and immediately be able to connect through Moonlight without touching the PC.

I saw 5 days ago that there's a new community repo and can go down that rabbit hole if needed but would prefer just to use pvermeer. https://github.com/sjauijn/wonderful-bazzite/

Edit: See my comment below of enabling the service.

But also, I learned something new. I stream from my bazzite gamescope session to my Legion Go 2 using moonlight and have always had graphics issues with the menu not showing when in game, fps count, etc. You can fix this (albiet I don't know downsides) by going to Game Mode it's Settings > System > Enable Devleloper Mode. Then go to Developer tab is "Force Composite" in the Miscellaneous section. No more sunshine graphical issues (although I'm sure this adds problems I don't know about)

Secure key added - question

Hello. Relatively new to Bazzite.

What does this screen actually tell me? Where did it add secure boot key? I mean Add, not Enroll. Enrolling Keys is done in another screen after reboot.
So this screen tells me that it added keys to motherboard firmware or to OS itself? Also after installing and rebooting it asks to Enroll Mok.
What’s the difference with “secure boot keys added” (this screen in post) and latter in MOK management?

I mean Bazzite wouldn’t be casually writing some keys on my motherboard without asking me, right? It should be only adding them to motherboard memory itself after MOK management is done… right?

How much RAM is "enough" RAM?

Preface to the question, I build a "steam machine" out of spare parts and threw in 64gb ram ddr4 since thats all I had. Ive enjoyed it alot and love how responsive it is compared to Windows, but it got me thinking. I have a Lenovo Legion Go with 16gb of soldered RAM, in the bios I can assign up to 8gb of that to the "gpu" portion of the app thats in it. Im just wondering if 8gb system memory is enough for Bazzite since its more streamlined, or is there a "minimum" requirement?

EDIT: would the Lenovo legion go work better on Bazzite if I split the 16gb ram between the gpu and system in 2 8gb chunks? Or shoot for something more like 12gb system 4gb gpu?

Xbox wireless controller on bazzite

Hello,

I have converted my old windows pc into a bazzite machine that I use for gaiming. I would like to use my xbox wirelles series X|S, but I have found different solutions and opinions online.

My old motherbnoard does not have innate bluetooth or usb-c ports.
Can I plug it with a cable or do I need an adapter?
I do not know anything about linux/bazzite, this is my very first try with it, I am willing to learn, I ask you to be patient.

Thanks

Welp there goes my windows

Just tried installing bazzite alongside my windows partition, finished it up and bazzite just decided to cook my boot part of windows or smth, luckily I can still see the main partition so I think my data will be fine but I’m not very happy to say the least, I’ve installed many different operating systems across many devices and never had this issue. Hoping the better performance will make up for it. Also for some reason I have a fedora boot option, I don’t know why because I never installed that on this machine but whatever.

RTX 4090 not so great

I have a dual-boot of Windows 11 and Bazzite (currently 44.20260802). I've been running this way for the past few weeks. I'm currently playing Star Wars Outlaws, nothing else on Bazzite yet. But in all the years prior, owning the 4090 on Windows has not seen a problem with AAA games on the 3840x1600 monitor, mostly high/ultra settings (Hitman, RDR2, Death Stranding, Ghost of Tsushima, etc).

But on Bazzite, Outlaws drags, especially in the open areas on the speeder. I noticed more in Toshara and Akiva (especially on the water). Tried all sorts of settings in the game and out of the game, and though vastly improved since I had the bare Bazzite install running the game (it was unplayable then), it's still just bad.

At this point, I'm thinking I'm pretty commited to Bazzite and will be wiping the entire drive and starting over. Question for the community:

  1. Would this likely improve things for me?

  2. Better to get the AMD 9070 XT card in the system before attempting (it was the plan regardless, the 4090 is overkill for me and loud, and hot, and a lot of power)?

7.2 kernel HDMI 2.1 for AMD GPU?

I updated to the working 7.2 kernel testing preview today in hopes my amd card could finally get HDMI 2.1 working on my tv but it's still showing in 8b color...is it not in this update or am I missing something? Thanks for the help.

Edit: Thank you everyone for the help the bazzite portal worked great. Heads up to people seeing this post later make sure to disable VRR on your tv and enable AMD free sync otherwise you might get some flickering.

How do I add a disk on PC?

On CachyOS I used to go to terminal and add a line in some file to add my old SSD drive for storing work related files. I’ve heard on Bazzite there’s different way for doing it due to it’s immutability.

can't decide whether to go to Bazzite

Hi everyone, I just got my Xbox Ally yesterday. Before buying it, I was planning to set it up with Bazzite, but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to get the same sound quality with Bazzite as I have now. I didn’t see much about this on YouTube, but I read on Reddit that some people have had issues with the sound. Or even there is no problems you dont get the that same surrounding sound??

Star Trek Online - Bazzite

Afternoon All.

I am looking to get away from Windows as I am now getting tired with it.

I have been looking very hard at Bazzite distro for Linux which is focussed on gaming.

Has anyone played STO on Bazzite and if so, how was the installation process.

Any information on your experience would be brilliant.

** Note **

I do not play STO through steam though I more than likely will do if I cross over!
