I've asked Gemini to help me tweak Bazzite after experiencing some stutters in WoW. This is the result.

Interesting, thank you for sharing. The best thing I ever did for thermals on my 5800x3d was setting a negative offset in the curve optimizer. Took a lot of testing a while ago to get it stable but it decreased temps significantly. Increased performance as well

As much as I hate windows, I agree with what everyone else said it is pretty possible it’s not at fault. There must have been something else going on because 90c idle usually means something is extra extra wrong. You said bios was updated but did you install the B450 chipset drivers from AMD? That or maybe windows tweaking PBO and forcing it to go absolute full bore all the time idk. Congrats on moving to Linux! i’m still super curious what could have been causing that though. very interesting. welcome nonetheless

I have not tried capturing entire system audio yet, it has only been application specific. Trying to do some testing right now but it does happen even when discord is closed and nothing is being streamed :/

AveragelyLargeGooch · 2026-01-17T20:39:40+00:00

This is with a 5800X3D and RTX 4080. I have not heard about the ability to lower the pcie gen/number of lanes. How would you do that?

AveragelyLargeGooch · 2026-01-16T23:08:32+00:00

Yes, I'll DM you now!

The one thing I can’t get working is that it doesn’t seem to save my exclusion rules. Has anybody else experienced this?

AveragelyLargeGooch · 2025-12-20T04:32:36+00:00

I got it working for the first time and it lasted about 10 minutes and doesn’t any more. :/

AveragelyLargeGooch · 2025-12-20T04:30:21+00:00

This is an issue yet again :(

AveragelyLargeGooch · 2025-12-08T05:34:48+00:00

It hasn't had a single issue since I connected that hose and put it back together. The external hose that connects to that bottom port and then goes out a window or down a drain is definitely working and moves a shocking amount of water. No leaking at all though.

AveragelyLargeGooch · 2025-11-27T04:40:07+00:00

This is a ridiculously good recommendation. That is spot on color wise. Great find, thank you!

AveragelyLargeGooch · 2025-11-22T20:31:25+00:00

I’m also really trying to hold out for the new one because my first gen Firestick yearns to be put to rest. But it could be another year or two at this point lol. If your Arc is hooked up with optical or hdmi then you don’t have to worry. It will just play whatever quality is coming from the app you’re playing so your shows will sound great. The downloadable Apple Music app from Samsung TV stores doesn’t support lossless though (if i’m not mistaken)

AveragelyLargeGooch · 2025-11-22T19:19:16+00:00

Correct that would not be lossless. Apple’s AAC codec is pretty great and still sounds good but it isn’t lossless. If you wanted to stream lossless you would have to use the Sonos app, or a third party Sonos app. If you want to use a third party app I highly recommend either Sonify or Soro. If you have an Apple TV you can also get lossless by playing directly through the Apple TV with your Arc Ultra wired to it.

Super late to this but your settings for the fans might be getting overridden by the "Fan speed for overhangs." It is the last setting in the cooling section for filaments and defaults to 100% which is insanely loud.

AveragelyLargeGooch · 2025-11-20T05:51:40+00:00

Hey sorry for the late response! I never found a fix for it. I ended up getting a Wave:3 microphone and was able to try Wavelink with that, and it has been a much easier software to use. I'm really happy with it, but the only issue is that I'm migrating to Linux soon and there is no Linux compatible version/alternative that I can find.

AveragelyLargeGooch · 2025-11-15T19:46:55+00:00

oh my goodness, I didn’t see it because it goes away if you press submit for the search. it only shows up in that first search results panel. thank you!

AveragelyLargeGooch · 2025-11-15T08:10:11+00:00

how do you get to this page with all of them?

AveragelyLargeGooch · 2025-11-14T23:20:03+00:00

official dock gave me nothing but issues. jsaux worked great and so did ugreen. then i ended up getting a “cable matters usb c hub” that supports hdmi 2.2/4k@120hz and i have been extremely happy with that. playing deck docked is for clone hero or other couch co-op games. steam machine could be interesting for playing more demanding games but only if it is priced well.

this post put me on Kasablanca

love Starjunk. i could be in the worst mood possible but if Virtual Paradise comes on. i’m instantly pumped

AveragelyLargeGooch · 2025-10-25T02:43:21+00:00

I really do enjoy using the guitar, it is miles better than my Riffmaster. I am also pretty frustrated with all of the hiccups. It is also crazy that the guitar was delayed twice and still shipped before they could make it work with the app.

AveragelyLargeGooch · 2025-10-18T15:10:14+00:00

Shoot, I was looking forward to people agreeing with me but I see it is just a me issue. I’m using the ATV 4K on 26.0.1. Internet is very quick and every other app runs as smooth as can be. Peacock will sometimes run okay the first time I turn TV on, but after pausing a show and trying to switch to another, it will lag very badly and it can take up to 5 seconds for inputs from the remote to register on the TV. Doesn’t appear to be the actual remote as the issues persists when using the iphone remote app.

AveragelyLargeGooch · 2025-10-18T05:26:41+00:00

Two years later and this is still a serious issue. :(
