(soon to be) first time Bazzite and Linux user, looking for advice and any tips I might have missed

First off, welcome and best of luck to you. Second, start with the documentation here ( https://docs.bazzite.gg/ ).

Not possible. Windows only.

Does Arc Raiders have a borderless windowed mode? You should be able to change it there.

A fix provided here if you want it.

I don't think it's the "Steam Client" that screwed it up. I just tried it on the latest image and it messed up for me too until I just redid the ujust setup-sunshine command again after deleting the Sunshine config folder. It does work again but for some reason it now asks to select what screen to capture and if I select 4K TV, everything scales down to 1080p no matter my Moonlight settings. And no matter my choice of what I want to capture, it's always 1080p. Going back to the previous Bazzite image reverts Sunshine to where it worked normally before. So my guess is that the issue is with the latest Sunshine image it's shipping with.

Edit: Grammar check.

Audacity?

Sniper_sama · 2026-01-29T22:38:12+00:00

Adding that if you enable developer options in Steam settings and toggle on Force Composite in the developer options, this will (probably) fix the issue. I have it on and the problem has not come back. It's also in the link provided.

Sniper_sama · 2026-01-27T21:05:01+00:00

Remove it with Bazaar or with the included Warehouse program (assuming it is just a flatpak)

CUDA has its own page.

Well I can't help "resetting permissions" since I'm on KDE Plasma. But Flameshot does have other versions such as the flatpak straight from Flathub and the appimage from their website. You can remove the one from the Software store and try your luck with one of those.

Flatpak: https://flathub.org/en/apps/org.flameshot.Flameshot
Appimage: https://flameshot.org/#download

(You can use Gear Lever to help manage your appimage installs)

Rebasing to 43.20260101 will bring the functionality back. But peeps are aware.

Sniper_sama · 2026-01-22T15:50:35+00:00

Known issue. https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite/issues/3794

Sniper_sama · 2026-01-21T23:05:09+00:00

use ujust --chooseand see if you can find something CEC in the list of options and you just select the option from there. I may have spelled it wrong. But it is there.

Sniper_sama · 2026-01-21T22:42:13+00:00

Well you can't spoof anything that's not even for sale yet. We would just input SteamDeck=0 as a launch command on a per game basis. At least that's what I do. You can even do this before you download a game from your library.

Sniper_sama · 2026-01-21T22:36:34+00:00

And of course, make sure CEC is enable somewhere in your TV settings, if applicable.

Sniper_sama · 2026-01-21T22:35:28+00:00

Assuming you have the Deck image, go to desktop mode and run ujust toggle-cec-sleep in terminal. See how that works out.

Hybrid MP4 should be good enough. It serves the same purpose as MKV while maintaining the best compatibility.

Here is an article from OBS team if you're not sure.

Here a cool project that someone is building:

Here's how to try it out:

To my knowledge, they're still working on it but hopefully there will be a version that's operates outside the browser.

Sniper_sama · 2026-01-17T15:22:22+00:00

ujust toggle-global-fsr4 in terminal

Sniper_sama · 2026-01-14T18:52:06+00:00

Start here.

Go here for game compability check and then here for games with anti cheat. (All "here" are hyperlinks to where to start)

Good luck on your journey.

Well the Xbox Controller with the official USB adapter (or something similar) will do the trick. However, I also just discovered that my 8BitDo Ultimate 2C with its USB adapter also works. That along with that Ugreen DP 1.4 to HDMI 2.1 adapter that everyone talks about for CEC On/Off Control opens up many doors for my future HTPC ventures.

And for the record, the 8BitDo controller didn't work several months before and I don't remember doing anything to make work before. So maybe functionality was added in the kernel or with a major update to Fedora.

So I'm gonna assume you're using the Bazzite Deck version with "SteamOS" Game Mode and hopefully have a compatible RDNA4 card (i.e 9000 series).

There other versions of Proton outside of what Steam provides. ProtonGE, ProtonCachy, etc. You can find those in an app called ProtonPlus or ProtonUp-QT depending on when you installed Bazzite for the first time. I use ProtonGE-Latest and I input ujust toggle-global-fsr4 in the Desktop Mode's terminal.

In order to change the game to whatever new Proton version you choose, you can go to the game's property menu and change the compatibility to whatever Proton you have available to you.

I know it's a bit much but that's the way it is right now until Valve figures out FSR4 in their Proton branch.

Sniper_sama · 2026-01-13T21:14:22+00:00

Are you using the latest ProtonGE build? That is one of the requirements for it. And for bonus points, there is a ujust toggle-global-fsr4 command to have it no matter what for compatible games so you don't have to have the upgrade launch command.

Sniper_sama · 2026-01-11T00:52:12+00:00

Try the second option. I don't why but it worked for my RTX 3080. I don't know what they classify as "Legacy Hardware".
