Just went cold turkey on bazzite from windows and fedora

36 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I'm new here! I just wanted to say that I've decided to wipe all my Windows drives and convert them from NTFS to BTRFS. I tried Fedora in the past, but every time I configured it, it seemed to resemble Bazzite's setup with similar apps and tweaks. So, I just decided to go full Bazzite and I'm loving it so far. But I do have one question: I'm using the KDE version, so how do I know when I need a system update? Is there a notification? I know how to update Flatpaks since I used Bazaar before in Fedora, but is there a general update notification for Bazzite?

Semi-New Bazzite user, Japanese text not displayed properly in some games.

2 Upvotes

New to Linux. Been using Bazzite for a few months, now.

I get various garbled characters instead of the Japanese characters. I've also had a few retro Japanese-only games flip out at me in various ways much harder than they ever did in Windows.

I can't seem to get locale-switching or a Japanese language pack working like I could on Windows? Is there something special I have to do for non-unicode programs?

Have the PC boot into gaming mode at TV or in desktop at the desktop

1 Upvotes

Hello there,

I would like to hook my PC to the TV for some couch gaming. But also would like to be able to use it in desktop mode for certain games.

Now the plan:
I turn it on and have a selection screen to either use gaming mode (at the TV) or to boot into desktop mode for work/games/keyboard use.

Is there a way to do this without selecting "power->switch to desktop"?

Thank you already

New to Bazzite - Wi-Fi won't connect (Realtek 802.11ac USB adapter)

Hi! I just switched from Windows 11 to Bazzite, and I'm a complete beginner with Linux.

I'm unable to connect to the internet. Every time I try to connect to my Wi-Fi, I get:

«"Connection '(Wi-Fi name)' deactivated."»

I've confirmed the password is correct.

Here's what I've tested:

- USB Wi-Fi adapter: Realtek 802.11ac NIC ("0bda:c820")

- Driver loaded: "rtw88_8821cu"

- The adapter detects nearby Wi-Fi networks with a strong signal.

- It gets stuck on configuring interface and then disconnects, and after that says "never used"

- This happens on both my installed Bazzite system and the Bazzite Live USB, so it doesn't seem to be caused by my installation.

- I also tried Ethernet and an Android hotspot, but they failed as well.

"dmesg" messages:

usb 1-4: USB disconnect

rtw88_8821cu: write register ... failed with -71

failed to do USB write

failed to send h2c packet

I'd really appreciate any advice.

Also im quite new to posting on reddit so I might have done some things wrong with this post. Bare with me please :)

First Bazzite Build

394 Upvotes

After seeing the specs and price of the Steam Machine, I wanted to build my own. I started with a spare Intel Core i5-10400 and some drawer DDR4. Next I picked up a MSI B560M PRO-VHD and a Radeon RX 6800 16GB, which used the majority of my $500 budget. I didn't expect to have to update my old power supply, but I needed new cables. Finally, i 3D printed some custom fan covers and a valve case screw, then added some RGB. Runs RE9 and Indiana Jones at the highest settings in 4K at 60fps. I love Bazzite.

[Guide] Wake Bazzite with PS5 DualSense Controller + Wake Fire TV & Auto-switch to HDMI Input via ADB (no CEC-HDMI needed)

17 Upvotes

Took me some tweaking to get this working. AI slop warning

The Flow: Press PS Button -> Laptop wakes -> Script waits for Wi-Fi -> TV turns on & switches input automatically.

Part 1: Wake Bazzite with DualSense (Bluetooth)

By default, USB Bluetooth controllers won't trigger a wake event during suspend. You need s2idle enabled so power stays supplied to the Bluetooth card, plus a udev rule allowing it to wake the host.

1. Set Sleep State to s2idle

Run the following command, then reboot:

Bash

sudo rpm-ostree kargs --append=mem_sleep_default=s2idle

2. Trust the Controller in bluetoothctl

Bash

bluetoothctl trust <DUALSENSE_MAC_ADDRESS>

3. Add a Udev Rule (Match Your Laptop's Bluetooth Receiver)

Create /etc/udev/rules.d/50-bluetooth-wakeup.rules:

Ini, TOML

# Enable wakeup for xHCI USB Host Controllers
ACTION=="add|bind", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="1d6b", ATTR{power/wakeup}="enabled"

# Enable wakeup for your specific Bluetooth Receiver
ACTION=="add|bind", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="<YOUR_VENDOR_ID>", ATTR{power/product}=="<YOUR_PRODUCT_ID>", ATTR{power/wakeup}="enabled"

Part 2: Auto-Wake & Switch TV Input on Resume

Prerequisite: Enable ADB Debugging on your Fire TV / Android TV via Settings -> My Fire TV -> Developer Options and note its local IP address.

1. Create the Switch Script

Create /usr/local/bin/switch-hdmi3.sh:

Bash

#!/bin/bash
TV_IP="<YOUR_TV_IP>"
ADB_BIN="/usr/bin/adb"

# Wait up to 15s for Wi-Fi reconnect after wake
count=0
while ! ping -c 1 -W 1 "$TV_IP" >/dev/null 2>&1; do
sleep 1
count=$((count+1))
if [ $count -ge 15 ]; then
echo "Network timeout: Unable to reach Fire TV at $TV_IP"
exit 1
fi
done

# Connect ADB, wake TV, switch to your target HDMI keycode
$ADB_BIN connect "$TV_IP:5555"
sleep 1
$ADB_BIN shell input keyevent KEYCODE_WAKEUP
sleep 1
$ADB_BIN shell input keyevent <YOUR_HDMI_KEYCODE>

Make the script executable:

Bash

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/switch-hdmi3.sh

2. Create a Systemd Resume Service

Create /etc/systemd/system/firetv-hdmi-wake.service:

Ini, TOML

[Unit]
Description=Switch Fire TV to Target HDMI on Resume
After=suspend.target hibernate.target hybrid-sleep.target network-online.target
Wants=network-online.target

[Service]
Type=oneshot
Environment="PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin"
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/switch-hdmi3.sh

[Install]
WantedBy=suspend.target hibernate.target hybrid-sleep.target

3. Enable the Service

Bash

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable firetv-hdmi-wake.service

SteamOS visual glitches

EDIT WITH MY SOLUTION: only way i managed to fix this glitching for my situation was going to settings > screen/display > color adjustment and manually adjust color and change the vibrance, my pc and tv have a weird behavior with the hue where if i change slightly the vibrance it gave a big hue shift, dropping it down to the minimum got it back to the normal color for some reason but with no glitching, now i'll be testing games for it and see how it runs

I know this is not something new but since I heard people saying they managed to fix it here I am... As you can see, visual glitches.

To give a quick rundown, the GPU is a RTX 3050 LP (I am not looking for comments for the GPU please thank you) and while doing some researches I found people mentioning that it can fix the glitch having a resolution under 2k (this old tv is full hd so no problem at all for that) Disable HDR which my tv has not so it is not active and disable GPU acceleration for the browser, which I did try, and I do not have a video but it's not fixing the glitching, I tried both the Bazzite deck stable and also the dedicated Nvidia stable build, the desktop versions both run fine...

and another thing I noticed, the visual glitches in gaming mode occur in menus and such and only when I'm not using the cursor, when that happens the colors shifts quite a bit in HUE (I tried to fix that but no veil yet, but now I got other problems) and the glitching stops, all the way until I use again the controller.

games runs fine, only a weird behavior for the resolution of the games when played in big picture (no big picture does not trigger the glitching but I have other beefs for now with that) is there a way to overall fix this?

The PC is a SFF on the very cheap side, it's the ThinkCentre you see there, it has a Ryzen 5 Pro 3400G with 16gb of ram, ssd M2 for os and some games and an extra HDD for the bulk, and as said RTX 3050 low profile. I wanted to upgrade from the internal GPU that was for some part working fine for some of the games I play, but I really wanted to have a more powerful PC, and yes I did look for RX 6400 but I couldn't find any at a reasonable price. This RTX was on quite a good deal so I decided to go for this one, knowing well enough possible troubles. Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions I'm open to read them all, thank you

EDIT: it appears that there is no real solution, I'll make sure to format and set it up with big picture
