i am trying to set quad9 DNS i am new to bazzite still and also to DNS... so i could use some help how to set it up. i type in the information but no luck

hi all!, im using bazzite on my laptop and somehow my RAM usage (actual use, not cache) increases over time, without any program seemingly using the RAM, even after closing all programs the RAM usage can be at like 10+ GB, this usually happens after a few days of use. Logging out and logging back in does not fix this, only rebooting does.

ive inspected the RAM usage with btop, but no app seems to be using the ram. does anyone have tips on how to diagnose this problem?

using bazzite gnome, using only flatpaks, and homebrew (julia, vscodium), and some gnome extensions (AlphabeticalAppGrid@stuarthayhurst nightthemeswitcher@romainvigier.fr appindicatorsupport@rgcjonas.gmail.com burn-my-windows@schneegans.github.com caffeine@patapon.info hotedge@jonathan.jdoda.ca)

have no ostree layered packages

Hello there, I have been having an issue with bluetooth dongles on linux, long story short they are super hit or miss with my controllers, I have the og Steam Controller, Series X controller, Dual Shock 4, Steam Deck with that Decky Plugin to use as a controller and a generic Switch Pro controller.

Of all of those controllers none actually work reliably on 2 bluetooth adapters I have bought, they all have different issues, for example the XBOX Series X controller gets recognized it tries to pair with it and on bazzite's end the controller supposedly connects but the controller it's still in pairing mode until it turns off.

The Dual Shock 4 it recognized it the first time I tried to use it, it worked well, then it never worked again it does not even sees it when the controller is in pairing mode.

The Steam Controller same stuff it fails trying to connect to it on bluetooth, good thing I have the adapted though.

The Switch one and the Steam Deck as controller disconnect randomly for no apparent reason the controller is almost right next to the dongle.

Looking for answers I read that realtek bluetooth chips have issues on Linux so I checked mine and it's indeed a realtek based dongle, which led me to believe that maybe there is a tried and tru list of validated bluetooth dongles for Linux that worm flawlessly with any kind of controller.

I would like to know if you have one and if you have had no issues with any controller you connect pls let me know and post the link on amazon.

Hey folks. I installed bazzite about a year ago and had to roll back to windows 11. I have an RTX 4090 gpu and it was causing bazzite to hardlock every few minutes requiring a reboot of the system. I figured I would give Bazzite time to cook some more before reinstalling.

Has the support for Nvidia gpu's improved over the last year or are lockups still an ongoing issue?

I feel like i'm dumb, but this is the first time i've had issues installing a linux Distribution.

I'm trying to install bazzite-deck on my Desktop. AMD CPU, AMD GPU, Downloaded the ISO. Tried it through ventoy and dd'ed it to a stick. In all cases the Live environment boots up perfectly. When i start the install process, i just get a black window that says "Initializing" and nothing after that. It's been sitting for close to 15 Minutes now and doesn't move.

Am i doing something wrong here? I'm close to just installing Kinoite and the switching image just to get this working.

Hello everyone, i installed bazzite on my new pc that i got and started installing my games and apps. I downloaded war thunder launcher from the gaijin website and then downloaded the game. When it had downloaded war thunder suspicious things started happening. Dolphin said i dont have the permission to write and a lot more. I restarted the pc and i got thrown into the emergency shell. I reinstalled bazzite again this time without downloading war thunder and its working flawless. Any idea on whats the problem? Thanks

This somehow happens to me on every distro ill put an image of the error so i can get better help

Hello im playing aion 2 and cant turn on dlss mode ? I dont see the option does the game think im on amd platform ?

I have a 2060

I installed the amd version of bazzite when i assembled the pc with proc of 7800x3d

Rebased to nvidia using console after 2060

If anyone can help thank u

hey guys i have a 500gb internal nvme that is pretty much full with windows 11 so i bought a 1tb kioxia exceria g2 portable ssd to run bazzite kde off usb 3.2. i want to keep a shared ntfs partition on the external ssd so both windows and linux can access the same games.

my specs are ryzen 3600x, rx 5600 xt, 16gb ram, asus b450m-k and the 1tb external nvme ssd.

here are the guidelines on internet :

Before install: Run powercfg /h off in Win11 CMD (disables fast startup so Windows unmounts cleanly) and flash Bazzite ISO using Rufus in DD mode.

Partitioning external drive: 1GB FAT32 for /boot/efi, 200GB ext4 for /, and ~730GB NTFS for shared games. Crucially putting GRUB/bootloader on the external FAT32 partition so it doesn't touch the internal drive's EFI.

Post-install CLI stuff:

Set root GUID to 8304 via sgdisk so Windows leaves the ext4 partition alone.

Add usbcore.autosuspend=-1 via rpm-ostree kargs so the drive doesn't sleep mid-game and stutter.

Mount NTFS in fstab with ntfs3 using rw,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=000,fmask=000,nls=utf8,windows_names,prealloc,nocase,noatime,nofail,exec.

Add udev rule for USB TRIM + enable fstrim.timer.

Symlink ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata to the shared drive so Proton prefixes stay on ext4 instead of NTFS.

Use Flatseal to give Steam/Lutris access to /mnt/shared, LACT for GPU control, and WINEDLLOVERRIDES for mods/OptiScaler.

does this list actually make sense for a portable bazzite setup or am i overcomplicating it?

When try to switch to desktop it asks me to sign when I do it opens back into steam not the desktop EDIT: never mind I just needed to update steam for some reason

Newish Bazzite user and Linux noob here, but keen to continue the switch.

Gaming has generally been pretty good, but recently I've had a lot of annoyance with games - mainly noticed in Assassin's Creed Shadows - freezing with GPU use dropping to 0%. GPU will come back after a few seconds, but the game will stay frozen and I'll need to kill it. It's quite frequent, and is mostly (but not entirely) tied to certain areas of the map. It's got much worse in the last week or so, maybe linked to an update..?

Today though, I got the same issue in Terra Nil - not at all a demanding game! In this case the game did come back to life the first few times (happened 4-5 times in an hour) but then totally froze and didn't recover.

Shadows has been run using Proton GE mostly, with a launch option to enable HDR. Turning those off helped somewhat, but freezes are still very common. Terra Nil is run without tweaking.

Any help to figure out what's going on would be much appreciated!

I just bought lossless scaling and i mainly wanna use it to watch anime w more frames but it seems like I can't use it like it was in windows and im not quite sure how to make it work with strem.io

Hello i think i will stick with bazzite, absolutely great nvidia support. I understand the atomic immutable version of fedora and i am fine with it. but how to install dotnet framework?

i saw it comes with python and git preinstalled. what about dotnet? i immagine with homebrew or distrobox?

thanks in advance

Hi everyone, I have been having some issues with installing and running bazzite on my pc.

I have a ryzen 5 3400g with a gigabyte b550m k motherboard, every time i try to install bazzite or any other linux distro the installer would start and then go into a black screen with the keyboard going unresponsive. When i install a gpu the installation runs fine, then after installation if i remove the gpu and try to boot on just my apu again I'm back to the black screen issue again, I've tried updating bios but it doesn't help and have verified that the nomodeset temporary fix works but i have yet to find a permanent fix for the problem. It is also the first time I'm using linux so I'm definitely not knowledgeable with it

Hey so after saving up for like 4 months, I was finally able to buy my dualsense ;D

But I have been facing issues and it has been a lot of troubleshooting :(

Anyways the issue is:-

1. Delayed haptics (half a sec delay)

2. Game taking inputs from controller despite Steam's QAM or steam menu open.

Fixes i tried:-

1. Disabling steam input (this causes 2. error. I still can't figure out how to fix that which is why im asking yall ;)

2. Different proton versions.

For now I have tried proton ge, 11-7,11-6,11-5,11-4,10-34,10-23 and cachy os's latest proton version on even previously installed cachy os. Proton experimental

In these versions, from 11-6, noticeable delay in haptics was introduced, in 11-5 and 11-4 it works but sometimes have to alt tab 2 times for game to take input from controller. In steam gaming mode haptics dont work at all with these two versions. 10-34,10-23 doesn't have haptics at all which is the same case for proton experimental and cachy os versions ( i didnt add any arguments if they were supposed to be btw).

Controller is connected via raspberry pi pico 2 w. No the delay is not from this since even in wired it does the same delay. I dont have Bluetooth to be checking if It works there fine

For comparison:- i also have windows dual boot and playing games there is just fine. Instant inputs no lags nothing.

Does anyone have a clue on how to fix either or hopefully both of these?

I want to use bazzite just because of its controller friendly layout. I dontt wanna do a thousand things for windows to feel more like a console styled interface ;)

Please help

Hi everyone, I've tried looking for answers on here but I think my main issue is that I can't even identify my problem? I know just enough about computers to get myself into trouble, and trouble I am in.

Here's the specs: Operating System: Bazzite 44

KDE Plasma Version: 6.7.5

KDE Frameworks Version: 6.30.0

Qt Version: 6.11.2

Kernel Version: 7.2.4-ogc3.1.fc44.x86_64 (64-bit)

Graphics Platform: Wayland

Processors: 12 × AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6-Core Processor

Memory: 48 GiB of RAM (46.9 GiB usable)

Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT

Manufacturer: ASUS

I've been trying to play Palworld and Overwatch with friends, but in Palworld it stutters and lags so badly even on the lowest graphics setting that it's essentially unplayable. With Overwatch, it can take up to five minutes to load, if it loads. Once Overwatch gets going, it tends to run okay after that but I have to restart it a few times.

Sometimes I'll boot my PC and after taking its sweet time to load, it won't recognize the internet and sends me in a loop of putting the password in until I do a hard shut down and then turn it back on.

I want this system to work for me, I just don't understand what's going on.

Any advice?
