I'm sure no one in this community needs to be convinced to try Linux. But I love it every time I see a non-Linux person trying Linux and showing other people that it works. (Also nice to see that Jeff Gerstmann is still around and doing alright after getting screwed over by Gamespot for like 15 years.)

... Valve does not directly maintain or update or publish Bazzite.

Bazzite is an atomic version of Fedora, made by basically the Bazzite team... SteamOS, which is actually developed by Valve, is basically an atomic version of Arch.

Are you using Bazzite, or SteamOS?

Also: Display doesn't work if I turn off the display.

... what?

You... would you expect a thing to work if you turned it off?

Now, bluetooth not working on your mobo could be a legitimate driver compatibility issue, and it also sounds like you're having similar weirdness with your audio drivers.

What is your actual OS?

What is your actual mobo?

Bazzite is building off of the, maybe literally, billion dollars valve is pumping into the ecosystem.

As for the rest, you can't help me, driver issues. Which is the point.

Uh... I mean, kind of? Not really?

Bazzite makes significant use of Proton, which yes Valve primarily funds, though... probably more to the tune of millions to tens of millions, over its entire history so far, not... billions...

But as I said, its... mostly Fedora, with a good deal of prepackaged tweaks and prebuilt flatpaks and other systems they either manage or contribute to as a kind of functional ecosystem.

Fedora != Valve.

Anyway, I daily drive Bazzite.

I probably can help you, I've managed to fuck and unfuck myself by breaking and then fixing Bazzite more than once, by doing things they say you probably shouldn't do, and then using their provided wiki/tools/macros to fix things... and they've refined and improved their rollback command macros and such over the years.

But, you don't want to be helped, you want to complain, so, best of luck with that.
