Bazzite Help (self.linux)
submitted 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) by mushroomstormtrooper to c/linux
 

After my previous post (here: https://lemmy.world/post/16593726 ), I took some of the advice I got and switched over to Bazzite for the time being. After some very minor tinkering, Elden Ring launches and runs great other that a very tiny amount of stuttering.

Played for a few hours today, then went to get RuneScape set up with one of the community launchers. I had good luck with nmlynch94's launcher on previous distro's, but this time no textures would load unless the camera was moving. I uninstalled and switched to the other one (red-dragon I think?) and the game wouldn't launch at all. After a little bit of back and forth uninstalling and reinstalling it, rebooting, etc. with no changes, I gave up and uninstalled everything related to the jagex launcher. Everything was working fine at that point still, shut everything down after browsing the web and listening to music like normal with no issues and now Bazzite won't launch at all. Almost every try ends up in it freezing at

"Booting 'Fedora Linux 40.20240619.0 (Bazzite) (ostree:0)'

_"

Once, it booted to the lock screen then froze. I have things set up and would prefer not to have to do a fresh install, but I'm not quite sure what to do. I have been unable to find much help searching the web. Does anyone have any insight for me?

Edit: Got it to boot from the ostree:1 option rather than 0, but it froze up within ~90 seconds. Shut down and it seems to be refusing to boot again.

Edit: Well, it booted up and I'm back to Elden Ring. No freezes or anything. Not sure what I did, so I'm still concerned.

Can't you go back to a snapshot? Bazzite saves "restore points".

I will try that next time it boots. It's been alternating between freezing at that same spot and waiting a minute or two now.

sorry i can't help you with bazzite, but perhaps try cachyos, which has a handheld edition nowadays and whose discord community is super helpful and friendly.

I'm not opposed to trying different distro's, but right now I am hoping to avoid doing a fresh install so that I can keep everything set up the way I like it at least for the time being.

Am a bazzite user myself, and haven't had those issues at all. I would recommend joining the discord as well, they have a reasonably active community there
