Bazzite

Hi all, big fan of Bazzite and have it installed on several of my devices.

I just picked up a new (to me) laptop. This laptop has an 8845HS APU w/ 780M iGPU and also a NVDA 3050 6GB dGPU.

Using this laptop in desktop mode works perfectly fine. However, I reallllly want to use gaming mode, which, upon initial installation works just fine, but after reboot it opens to a black screen.

Now the Bazzite website says:

Some devices with two AMD GPUs (iGPU and dGPU) cause gamescope to be unable to detect your display resulting in a black screen. If you are affected, use an image without Steam Gaming Mode or disable your iGPU.

Obviously neither of those suggestions are ideal...

I assume this also applies to AMD iGPU + NVDA dGPU.

However the issue they link to in the above message pertains to several Framework 16 users. And if you select the Framework version of Bazzite, you get this message:

Enjoy enhanced dGPU support on the Framework 16…Applications like Steam and Lutris are automatically configured to run on your dGPU for optimal performance…Be sure to select Steam Gaming Mode for the ultimate console-like gaming experience

Implying that there's no problem with hybrid GPUs? So is there a fix somewhere they're not pushing to other versions? Or is this a hardware issue I'll never be able to overcome? Should I try and install the Framework version?

I posted this on the Bazzite Discourse forum but honestly it seems dead as hell over there.

Currently I'm using Nobara and using NVDA on desktop and AMD in Game Mode but that's obviously not ideal and Nobara doesn't ship with Game Mode + GNOME and honestly I really don't like KDE. 😬

Legitimately stoked I finally got #Titanfall2 running on @bazzite WITH #Northstar

Hell yeah. It’s literally the best #multiplayer game that’s still playable. Now let’s hope that the #RELB project keeps up momentum and #Lawbreakers is finally playable on Linux

That, or #Ubisoft WISES UP AND ALLOWS LINUX TO RUN #RAINBOW6 SIEGE. DAGGUM YOU GUYS ARE DENSE

I have a strange bug on my Steam Deck with OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and I would like to know if it happens on other handhelds/distributions as well.

In Plasma Wayland 6.4 fullscreen windows shift up about half a screen when using gamepad input. They become normal again when I use mouse input. Happens with games as well as in VLC.

Edit: Can't take a screenshot of it, so here's a photo:

Just FYI, I've been having issues where Bazzite won't wake up from sleep and this fix I found on the reddit Bazzite community seems to at least make things a lot better.

In the terminal run

rpm-ostree kargs --append-if-missing='acpi_osi=!Windows 2015'

Hello I m facing issues during the installation on my steam deck led 1To.

I tried multiple time using a usb to usb c adapter for my usb key and using the official dock station.

I also check using command and there is not another efi boot like in the troubleshoot guide of bazzite website.

Before it was the official SteamOS , but there was 2 versions and a big buggy (it’s why I decided to erase and install bazzite instead).

Any idea how to fix the issues ?

Regards

makes me sad that the laptop can't hook up to its monitor buddies right now.

Hello! New to Bazzite, and have a system running great. There's just one thing I'm having trouble with: I want the system to wake up from a sleep state when it detects signal from a keyboard/mouse.

I tried following this guide: https://askubuntu.com/questions/848698/wake-up-from-suspend-using-usb-device

It seems straightforward enough, and even though that's Ubuntu, I saw buses were set to "disabled." So I tried writing the rc.local, but it still won't wake up, even though the devices have power.

Am I missing something? Or can anyone point me to a better reference? Thanks in advance.

According to Steam Cyberpunk is a Steam Deck verified game so I expected it to work on Bazzite on an Ally.

Unfortunately it opens the CDPR launcher and when I click Play it just goes back to Steam.

Are there some settings I need to change?

I just watched this official video from Framework that does a deep dive into their new desktop and the chip that powers it. Right near the end, CEO Nirav Patel name drops Bazzite as a distro partner, and declares 2025 the year of the Linux gaming desktop!

I have VLC installed as flatpak, but I cant launch it from command line. Where does it live?

I have a ddsktop with Windows and Fedora and few other Linux distros already installed. I have a spare partition for the OS itself but have to share /home with the Fedora install.

How do I do this safely without formatting /home?

Damn it feels good to be a immutable gaming OS gangsta

Really liking this OS and how easy it is to download, install and run. Works out of the box with everything.

Many of my friends are stuck with Win10 and will probably be forced to upgrade by Microsoft soon. I will try to recommend them Bazzite as a better path.

Switched my desktop last weekend from Ubuntu to Bazzite on my Nvidia 1070. It's been a great week, everything runs so much faster and smoother!

I was able to bump my main game Predecesor from all Low to all Medium settings while still keeping 60fps.

Discord runs faster, Spotify feels snappier. All in all I'm really digging it.

That's all, just wanted to say I'm enjoying it and it's working well for me.

Good to see Bazzite specific fixes

Hi! I'm running deepseek-r1 in ollama via podman, but currently it all runs on cpu. From the podman docs I get that I should install the nvidia container toolkit to get this working on my gpu, however I'm not sure how to approach this. The docs talk about apt or dnf etc, byt as far as I know that doesnt apply to bazzite. Anyone have some experience with this?

Will this work if I install the container toolkit in a busybox, or should i then just install everything including docker/podman in busybox? Any insights are greatly appreciated!

Someone have experience with this?
