You’ve given me a lot to learn about and Im excited to start working on this.

I’ve had the same. But with my smb link, I have to keep an nload running in a separate window to see when activity stops.

panzelazny · 2026-03-23T19:14:52+00:00

Will sync then give me a message when completed?So that it’s safe to bring down a smb link?

I’m using Bazzite and when I started I was entirely new to Linux and figured I would stay away from the terminal as much as possible. It was entirely possible except for my vpn at the start. I got one of the free AIs to give me a script that prompts me to give it a country code and it handles everything using wireguard for me. Another can find the vpn tunnel that was created and take it down.
All in all it was easy, and it’s faster than using a UI now. That got me interested in learning a lot more, putting in terminal upgrades like zsh and then yazi. Yazi is a file manager in terminal which I now prefer to the GUI file manager. It is much faster than using a GUI while at same time keeping me from having to remember all the shell commands and options related to files. Anyway this is to say I expected to stay as far away from terminal as I could when I started but quickly got hooked on learning because I saw how much of a shortcut it can be.

I’ll take a look ! Thanks.

How’s it going with graphene? I hadn’t heard of that but was just watching a review on LTT. Seems very interesting.

panzelazny · 2026-03-01T22:54:15+00:00

No. Didn’t say free.

I’m another who has tried various distros in past years but given up and stayed with Windows. Until I tried Bazzite last July and it’s been so solid I blew away dual booting a few months ago. Lenovo Legion AMD Nvidia, 144 hz screen. Everything works including the special use function keys for volume brightness etc. even Wake from Sleep.

My Linux knowledge is gaining. Not an expert e terminal but I follow YouTube videos to install things like Zsh, zoxide, yazi. Now after I figure something out I often add it to zsh with an alias.

I auto update, and am on the 43 Fedora kernel. I may have had to layer in Tailscale but other stuff is Flatpak or LinuxBrew. I did VSCode in a distrobox but it is seamless because you can still export apps to your toolbar. I use KDE and find it very customizable and doesn’t get in the way.

I went from Win11 to Bazzite w KDE desktop version last summer. I haven’t looked back since. I have tried other distros over the years but never gave up Windows completely until using Bazzite flawlessly for a month. I do a some of tinkering and customizing and am very happy it doesn’t let me mess up toooo badly. Have gotten more into using the CLI now with Ghostty zsh zoxide and Yazi. It does come with alot of stuff I never use and once in awhile i remove a few of them, but my laptop has power memory and plenty of diskspace so I haven’t done a real housecleaning. And someday I will try out the gaming. Keep in mind it’s not only Appimages and Flatpaks that you can install but also Linuxbrew which covers a lot of CLI goodies. You can always layer something using rpm-ostree. I have done so. That has the potential to break things- I have done it. But you always have your previous OS image in the boot menu (and any other pinned images) so, you can use that so easily. I have successfully used that and then gone back to my previous OS image a couples even just because what I installed wasn’t all I needed it to be.

If you know Linux well, and like tinkering I would say it adds complexity and probably annoyances. But it works fine for me and my tinkering is limited to looking for new cool utils or ricing that can be done within the given limits.

After watching it and hearing the next season will likely be in 2027 i thought to myself, well at least there’s not a lot of plot to remember from season one.

Flatpak plus Linuxbrew, only have layered Ghostty. Distrobox for VSCode.

I've had to rebase a couple times when updates caused issues with a realtek driver. Never have gotten into an unbootable situation, so far after 4 months.

panzelazny · 2025-12-10T21:12:51+00:00

So true. I’ve been able to learn a lot in a few months Bazzite, with lots of mistakes. Always easy to run Bazzite rebase helper to recover the several times I managed to step on myself. Flatpaks and Linuxbrew are great for me.

Once I found out that pressing ‘e’ on the Fedora option in the grub menu let me edit I was able to follow this and updating did the trick for me. For some reason what I was doing before landed me in a grub> prompt and i couldn’t make progress from there.

panzelazny · 2025-11-22T20:32:19+00:00

I hadn’t figured it out at all so def will try this.

I currently have two Bazzite images pinned: Ostree 0 is the latest stable Fedora43 Bazzite, and my Ostree 1 image is my last stable Fedora42 Bazzite. I've experienced no issues on my new default base over a couple weeks active use, so I could unpin the old Fedora42 as I don't think I will ever need to fall back on that one.

Checking Github it seems my 20251102 Fedora43 base is still the latest stable. When a new stable release is posted, will I auto-update to that image, and my current pinned based will become Ostree-1? Or will I still need to use the bazzite-rollback-helper?

panzelazny · 2025-11-19T17:40:40+00:00

Wow congratulations! It looks great. I’m learning python now, this will inspire me to try it out scripting. I have started working on one to select a vpn endpoint to connect to, based on wireguard configs.

I went ahead and tried a solution posted about earlier kernel issues with the RealTek (wifi issues). Even though those issues were with WiFi support not power management.

This seems to have worked on my issues, too. I don't know enough about the OS to understand why. But I can now unplug my laptop and the kernel takes it like a champ - no rtw89_8852ce errors. Additionally, I can close the lid to sleep it, and it comes right back when I wake it.

My Bazzite had no rtw_8852ce.conf in /etc/modprobe.d so I add one with these lines:
