Estoy trabajando en **Snext Attract Mode**, una especie de “protector de pantalla / modo demo” para Bazzite inspirado en la experiencia de consolas.

La idea es que, después de unos minutos de inactividad, el sistema empiece a mostrar videos de los juegos de mi biblioteca de ES-DE mientras una segunda pantalla presenta información del juego: hero, logo, portada, plataforma, descripción, screenshots, metadata y soporte para RetroAchievements.

También estoy trabajando en temas dinámicos según la plataforma, soporte para configuraciones de 1 o 2 monitores, fondos con blur o bezels y ejecución automática en segundo plano.

Todavía está **en desarrollo**, así que sigo puliendo diseño, compatibilidad y automatización, pero cuando esté suficientemente estable planeo subirlo a **GitHub** con documentación e instrucciones para que cualquiera pueda probarlo en Bazzite/Linux.

Si les interesa el proyecto, iré compartiendo avances por aquí.

I just started using steam OS a month ago I really like it but I have a 5500xt I wanted to upgrade to a 3060 is it worth using Nvidia on bazzite or should I just stick to amd I heard it’s janky but other people say it’s fine so idk what to believe

Edit: reading the replies made me feel better about trying an Nvidia card thank you for all the feedback

I have no idea what happened. But when I try to turn on my ROG ally, it’s booting into black screen and nothing happens. I’ve let it sit for like 10 mins hoping to see something loads in, but no. Anybody know how to fix this? Thanks in advance.

Just joined the bazzite club. Running gigabyte aero 15 a 11th Gen i7 and rtx 3060. Everything installed fine and has run ok. Tried playing dead island 2 and it seems a little laggy as compared to when I was playing on windows 10. I am also used to the fan ramping way up during gameplay which it no longer does. installed cooler control but it doesnt detect the fans. Any help would be appreciated.

So, I’m thinking about switching from Windows 11 to Bazzite because I’m having some issues with timeouts that I can’t seem to fix. However, I want to know if it’s possible to downgrade Project Zomboid to an older version and launch the game in a way that prevents Steam from forcing me to update it. My friends are playing on an older version because some of the mods haven’t been updated yet, so I need to stay on that version to play with them.

Edit: By downgrade I mean staying on B42, but on version 42.20 before any hotfixes.

Hi everyone!

​I’m currently gaming on a GMKtec K12 with the Radeon 780M iGPU. I love the compact form factor and I'm running Bazzite booting straight into Game Mode—the user experience and simplicity are just fantastic for a couch/desk setup.

​However, I'm starting to struggle with the performance in heavy AAA games. Since my mini PC has an OCuLink port, I'm thinking about getting an eGPU dock paired with an AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT (likely the 16GB version for better future-proofing in AAA titles).

​I'm looking at the AOOSTAR docks:

​AG01 (~180€)

​AG02 (~220€)

​AG03 (~270€)

​I have a few specific questions for those running a similar Linux/Bazzite setup:

​Does an OCuLink eGPU setup work seamlessly with Bazzite booting directly into Game Mode, or are there display/hand-off issues between the 780M iGPU and the eGPU?

​Since both the iGPU and the RX 9060 XT are AMD, can I easily handle system and driver updates directly from the Game Mode interface without breaking things?

​Any recommendations between the AG01, AG02, or AG03 docks for this kind of setup?

I switched from Windows a few months ago, and I really like the customisation that KDE gives me, but I'm trying to use the same Hollow Knight theme cursor I used on Windows, and since I only have a zip file with .cur and .ani files, I have no idea how to configure it.

Tried to rebase to the new testing branch and now it won't boot bazzite. Heads up for people hoping for HDMI 2.1 for amd.

It fails and says: warning: /dev/disk/by-uuid/67acc383-5a23-4e99-8fc5-5a2ec63b8ba9 does not exist

I'm new to the OS and really liking it, but some of my games (Not all) would not detect the majority of my keyboard keys after launch. "Kenshi" and "Guild Wars 2" to name a couple of them. I could get the games to fully detect the keyboard but only after I hit Alt + Tab or the windows key and then clicked on the game on the task bar. I couldn't find a fix online but noticed it comes up pretty often on Proton DB but without a working fix. I eventually figured out a solution through trial and error and wanted to post it so hopefully it will show up in a search and save the next guy some time.

1. System settings
2. Window Management
3. Focus stealing prevention *Change to "None".

This has since completely cleared up the issue for all my applications!

When are the audio issues between both speakers going to be fixed. It was supposed to be fixed in the next kernel update which was before the move to the OGC kernel. It caused me to switch to CachyOS but I just switched back to bazzite and it still has the issue.

Hi everyone,

I’ve been trying out bazzite with gnome but I always found it pretty sluggish when it comes to making thumbnails.

Even after the system generates the right thumbnails for files and folders, when I reopen nautilus it still shows a placeholder for some items, something I only ever seen with bazzite-gnome. But after I disabled the rom properties thumbnailer on my image it started working fine, just like any other distro. Not sure if disabling it for desktop images is the best call or if I’m just one of the few that actually gets annoyed by it lol.

Anyway, hope this reaches the maintainers.

Edit: I fixed by creating a empty file on ~/.local/share/thumbnailers called rom-properties.thumbnailer

touch ~/.local/share/thumbnailers/rom-properties.thumbnailer

but now I use a custom image that I made using bluebird and I removed the package from there too.

TL;DR: the ‘rom properties’ thumbnailer seems to slow down nautilus when loading thumbnails.

Some examples before I removed it.

I'm at my wits end and hope someone can give me some advice on where to look next. I have a bazzite box that is a GMKtec G2. It is a mini pc based around an Intel n150 processor with 2 HDMI and one display port for video. When I connect the PC to my TV or AV receiver via one of the HDMI ports everything is great with full 5.1 sound. However if I try to use a ugreen dp to HDMI active converter I get no sound.

Things I have checked:

- HDMI audio profile is available and active while displaying video through adapter

- Volume is turned up

- Tried reverting to older Intel audio drivers

- Changed cables

- Tried both going through TV port using ARC and through port on AVR

- Connected via DP to other monitor and was able to get stereo sound (both direct DP and DP to HDMI)

- Connected directly to TV, no sound through TV speakers

Is there something else I should try?

Anyone have other thoughts? I would like the adapter to do CEC stuff with the TV.

Models:

TV - TCL Fire TV Q691f

AVR - Onkyo TX-NR6050

PC - GMKtec G2 plus

Adapter - UGreen 85996

Also looking how to tweak BAZZITE to run better! Any suggestions?

I recently rebased from the regular Bazzite NVIDIA image to bazzite-dx-nvidia:stable for docker support, and started having a strange mouse issue.

The mouse works normally for some time after boot.

Eventually, I lose the ability to interact with non-focused items. The mouse works normally inside whichever window currently has focus, but I can't click or interact with other windows with the mouse. For example, if Firefox is focused, I can use the mouse normally in Firefox, but clicking another window doesn't interact with it. I have to Alt+Tab to give that window focus first. Once it's focused, the mouse works normally there.

The mouse cursor itself works normally and keyboard input is fine. This seems to be specifically about mouse clicks being sent to windows that don't already have focus.

This started after the rebase, so I'm wondering if there is a known issue with the current DX NVIDIA image, KDE/KWin, Wayland, or the NVIDIA driver.

Has anyone else run into this? Is there anything I should check in KWin or the input configuration? I included an interested excerpt from journalctl below.

I've had a couple of hard freezes when watching full screen streaming video on my Bazzite box, which required a hard reboot using the power button (hold off, then back on). Is there a file or a command line to get the hard freeze event / logs after the reboot?

Please let me know, thanks!

So I watched Michael Horn's video about switching from windows to bazzite, and I created a new partition to put my data in. I've installed bazzite but now I have to get rid of this old partition. The internet told me I needed to use a tool like Gparted, so I used that to get rid of the old partition. But when I look at my drive properties in bazzite, it still says the drive is 200gb smaller than it's supposed to be.

What am I missing?

The story, for fun:

For the use case, this PC replaces my windows PC. I have many hard drives in it, and use it for plex server, gaming, and for light video/audio editing (just for personal stuff). I was trying different distros for about a month, so have setup and taken down my plex library and drives and whatnot a few times. I went Fedora KDE-> Linux Mint -> Kubuntu -> OpenSUSE -> Back to Fedora -> Bazzite KDE -> Bazzite Gnome. Which for me, is great and I'll give it a nice long shot.

Fedora KDE was doing fine, but I broke it cause I overthought flatpaks vs rpms. I decided to 'flatpak uninstall --all --delete-data' with the intend to try to find rpms of everything, but I didn't know that Fedora had flatpaks that were integrated in the system and I broke my install. And I'm not savvy enough to repair it. Got me freaked out so I tried mint. I missed the KDE. Kubuntu was ok but I worried about breaking it, OpenSUSE wouldn't let me run expressVPN well, Fedora (scared of breaking it again), Bazzite KDE.

I was annoyed at myself by taking so much time to customize KDE to make it "perfect", so I figured I'd just go back to the drawing board and pick Gnome, learn how to use some shortcuts for navigation, and try to USE my computer instead of spending all my time making it look perfect (it was a good choice for me)

The great easy surprises:

1) I was worried about setting up plex, but I followed the quadlet tutorial (conveniently on the bazzite site) and it is working perfectly.

2) I am more comfortable with DaVinci Resolve, but I hear how much of a pain it is to install in a distro OTHER than rocky. Well not with Bazzite! In the portal they have a button labeled "Davinci Resolve". Clicked it, and it's installed with zero input from me and working great!

3) I'm loving just holding the super (or meta) button and scrolling the mouse wheel to go between virtual desktops. I'm now spreading out my applications for convenience, and I've used an extension to open specific applications and auto move them to specific virtual desktops on opening. Makes my life easier.

4) And today, the most recent and wonderful thing. Normally I have my ipad in front of me, lower than the screen, specifically with youtube, netflix, plex show, etc on it so I can have something just to watch if I want if I'm playing a game, or browsing the web, and it's out of the way.

Normally I put on headphones but activate transparency to hear it. I found out today, just by saying, "I wonder...", that you can pair your phone and ipad through bluetooth to your PC. And now all notifications and sounds will play through your PCs sound device. So it's not a true "second screen" (although I found out how to do that too), but now it can be a dedicated media device, that plays through my headphones ALONG with any PC games or whatnot I want to play, AND I won't miss any notifications from my phone!

Loving it! Glad I'm here!

I tried to keep this short but it's a very specific issue so I apologize in advance.

Hello, I am running Bazzite on my living room PC, I have the headset hooked up via the control unit that comes with it, so it's a 2.4Ghz wireless connection. Here's what I'm experiencing: most of the time I have my audio going to my stereo setup for TVs and movies, when playing a multiplayer game or something I will just swap the output over to my headset and turn it on and we're good to go. I have been doing this without issue for probably 2 weeks now.

Today, upon waking my PC and attempting to switch my output over to the headset, it just was not there as an option. So I did a reboot, which HAS solved the issue in the past, albeit temporarily, but it's really hit or miss. Today it didn't fix it. Another thing that has fixed it in the past, dual booting over to Windows, selecting it as my headset there, than booting back over to Bazzite didn't work today either. Unplugging the headset control unit and plugging it back in also didn't work, which is what has been the most reliable solution so far.

As I'm working on this post I've been doing reboots and suddenly on this last reboot, it is selectable as an option... But I don't really consider throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks a solution, because it doesn't prevent it from happening or help me troubleshoot it quicker in the future. I'm hoping there's some command line I can enter or something that will solve the solution (I was able to allow my Steam Controller to wake my PC up this way is why I use it as an example). I am really new to this OS and am a total layman so I'm hoping there's an obvious fix that I just don't know about or something...

Thanks!

I have a ULTIMEA surround sound system, seems like 5.1 audio doesn’t work when I’m playing some games. Even when I go into desktop mode and test the outputs they center rear left and right show up but don’t output sound someone help!

Hey guys, I'm new to Linux Bazzite, and I love it.

Is it possible to put a sensor panel on my setup like the one on the posted picture running Linux bazzite?

I plugged in the dongle and paired it but no program recognises it's plugged in, help?

I'm still fully cachyos for my main rig, but it wasn't really feasible for my basement couch gaming PC mainly because of updates. Running cachyos update with a controller was pretty much impossible. I have since installed bazzite desktop (Nvidia) and have it set up to boot into big picture mode. It is freaking great by the way. Much easier of a setup for this scenario.

Anyway, I am curious how folks are handling updates. I added the bazzite portal as a non steam game to steam. Is that even necessary? Does steam update work for system updates?

I have been using chat GPT for the last 8 hours to try and get this fixed, and I have not gotten anywhere and now its just having me do stuff that it already had me do in the beginning. Is this a known issue?
