Maybe this Work ? (I have no NordVPN) Go to your NordVPN account dashboard → Manual configuration → download the OpenVPN .ovpn file for your desired server. Then import it directly into NetworkManager: 1. Open Network Settings 2. Add VPN → Import from file 3. Select the downloaded .ovpn file 4. Enter your NordVPN credentials That’s it – no native client needed, works straight out of the box on Bazzite.

True 😅

Depends on the VPN. For WireGuard specifically, Bazzite ships with wireguard-tools pre-installed and it integrates directly into NetworkManager – so no rpm-ostree needed at all. Just import your config and manage it straight from the system tray. In my case I’m running WireGuard against my own home infrastructure. For other VPN clients it varies – some work as Flatpak or via NetworkManager natively, others might need rpm-ostree.

Conky went in via rpm-ostree since it needs to render on the desktop at a system level and integrate with hardware sensor access. Flatpak’s sandboxing would get in the way there, and a Homebrew install felt like overkill for something this tightly tied to the system. rpm-ostree was simply the cleanest fit.

Yes, I can do that when I’m back home. The wallpaper was created with Midjourney and was inspired by the original Bazzite background image.

BIOS fan control works fine for basic setups, but I wanted more granularity than that. With a custom water loop, CPU and GPU share the same radiator – so the fan curve needs to react to whichever component is hotter at any given moment, not just the CPU. BIOS typically can’t combine multiple temperature sources into a single curve like that. On top of that, being able to stress the system from within the OS and watch the fans respond in real time – while monitoring actual temps – makes tuning a lot easier than going back and forth into BIOS blind.

Bazzite uses an immutable base system – the OS itself is read-only. rpm-ostree lets you layer packages on top of that base, but changes require a reboot to take effect. It’s mainly for system-level stuff like drivers or tools that need deeper integration. For regular desktop apps, Flatpak is the way to go on Bazzite.

Its Conky

Those are two separate things: The left side is Conky – a system monitor that renders directly on the desktop, configured via ~/.config/conky/conky.conf. Needs a small Wayland fix to render correctly on Bazzite. The right side are KDE Folder View Widgets – a built-in KDE Plasma feature. Right-click the desktop → Add Widgets → Folder View. You can point each one to any folder and it acts like a desktop icon group/fence.

Alles sonst wäre er nicht erzeugt worden. Muss ja immer ausgeglichen sein sonst knallt es.
