Good luck. Hope everything goes well!

Thank you. Glad that the video helped

KDE uses Simple Desktop Display Manager (sddm for short) service for the login screen. You might find that this service is failing to start or not enabled for some reason, so you getting to the terminal rather than the normal login screen. While you are in tty, have a look at the status of the service with `sudo systemctl status sddm.service`. It could also be is a sddm config issue, have a look at the files in "/etc/sddm.conf.d/" and "/etc/sddm/"

Changing to X11 should help with the flickering problem. We should be able to use Wayland like everyone else once Nvidia 555 Linux drivers are out of beta

@@mikes-tech-tips I think it's set to that by default, but I would have to check again. I hope it's something as simple as that. Also when playing games, should I use the experimental proton or the latest one on the list?

@@DerpyNoodIe It was supposed to get set to X11 by default but sometimes the setting gets ignored and it boots Wayland instead. Once you manually select X11 you should be good. For games I usually use ProtonFix (Gnome) or Protonup-QT (KDE) which is preinstalled in Bazzite. Then I download GE-Proton for most games. It fixes a bunch of little issues in most games especially in game video issues.

@@mikes-tech-tips thanks for the tips! I'll try to check all that out, hopefully it fixes the issues I have been seeing. 🙏

​@@mikes-tech-tips yo you are a lifesaver!!! I took what you told me and then used ChatGPT to help me set it to X11 because it was set to Wayland after all. So it had me go through a few commands on the terminal and in a few minutes I booted back into Bazzite with zero problems, no more flickering/jutter! It's buttery smooth and even GTAV runs smooth too! Thanks again! Just subbed! 👍

Glad to know that the guide was helpful

Glad the guide helped. 1) That's a good point to do an rpm-ostree upgrade first before rebasing as that would drastically reduce the size of the download to rebase to Bazzite 2) That's the first I've heard of that, I'll try it out and see 3) I think you still need to run the ujust command at the end to install the Bazzite flatpak packages.

Unfortunately, Valorant will not work in any Linux distro due to the anti-cheat software. Have a look at "Are We Anti-Cheat Yet?" to see which games don't work due to anti-cheat. Nvidia is supported but you might want to wait until the Nvidia 555 driver is released for Linux which should be in the next week or so. I usually just boot by via boot menu if I want to boot Windows but you can use refind if you want a nice OS boot selector on startup.

I tried Garuda Gaming Dragonized about 3-4 months ago, I have an Nvidia Optimus laptop and the games were using my CPU instead of GPU. Probably simple to fix but gaming in Bazzite worked out the box for me. Other than that, I didn't give Garunda a long enough trial period to give a good comparison. So if you are on Garunda and it is working well for you then it's probably good to just stick with it. If you not enjoying it, then you might like Bazzite.

@@mikes-tech-tips Thanks for the fast answer. I too had the same problem with Optimus and Garuda, that I could solve with a command line in the game parameters of Steam. So yes, not a great out of the box solution for someone who's not really tech savy. Especially if you're running games outside of Steam ecosystem. I think Garuda is still great for me but Bazzite sounds perfect for my wife who won't even try to find a solution if the computer doesn't run normally =D

Quite a lot of games with anti cheat software refuse to work on Linux. There is a database "Are We Anti-Cheat Yet?" which shows which games work and don't.

Which is kind of a boomer for gaming OS. Bazzite looks incredibly clean, and everything is made as simple as possible for the end user, making it an S-tier product. But for the time being, we can't even play half of the currently most popular games. I've been using the stripped-down Windows version, but now that I've discovered this OS, I'm definitely going to give it a go. My most played game runs on Linux in general, but I didn't want to deal with all of the Nvidia driver difficulties and other potential problems.

Fair enough, thank you for your honest feedback. I'm planning on getting a desktop microphone for future videos which will helpfully improve this aspect of my videos

I'm glad that almost everything is working for you. I'm going to assume that you used KDE as the desktop environment. Open desktop mode >> Open {System Settings} in the menu >> {Login Screen (SDDM)} >> {Behaviour}. * check "Automatically log in" * Select your user for "as user" * Then select Plasma for "with session" When you click on apply it might give you an error message but the auto login change should take effect and it will log into desktop mode by default.

If you don't come right, have a look at the Bazzite discord server and log a help request in "bazzite-help" for further assistance.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 You made my day, thank you!

@@mikes-tech-tips Yu Mo Gui Gwai Fai Di Zao

Good question. If you have an AMD GPU you can select "Game Mode" in the download options and have a console like experience. You unfortunately cannot do that with Nvidia hardware right now, but that is expected to change in the next few weeks once the Nvidia 555 Linux driver becomes stable.

@@mikes-tech-tips Well, too late... testing the new version with my Alienware Alpha now. I'll let ya know how it goes xD

@@dandenton2438 Hope it goes well :)

@@mikes-tech-tips absolute fail... :/ back to windows 10.

@@dandenton2438 That's unfortunate :( There is a Discord server for Bazzite if you need any assistance. There are also other options to Bazzite that give a console like experience like ChimeraOS which looks quite promising and might work for you.

Mission failed 😞

If you using an Atomic Desktop like Bazzite or Silverblue. To install something like a VPN if you cannot use Distrobox, your second choice would be to layer it with rpm-ostree. So I downloaded the 64 bit rpm and ran the following to install it `rpm-ostree install ~/Downloads/expressvpn-3.70.0.2-1.x86_64.rpm` Restarted the machine and I could use ExpressVPN as via the terminal instructions on the website. Hope that helps :)

Sorry to hear that Bazzite didn't work for you. Good luck! I hope Linux Mint with the GamepadUI trick works well

Good luck!

Thanks for the constructive criticism. I'll try and improve on that in future videos.

Yup Bazzite is based on Fedora Silverblue or Kinoite

Good luck and I hope your install goes well. Happy gaming!

I'll give Twingate a try in Distrobox but have you seen that Bazzite has Tailscale VPN preinstalled? Perhaps that would work for you.

By the way, managed to get Twingate working in Distrobox. If you on the Bazzite discord, make a help ticket and I'll try assist you with it.

For me, this is it, but you might have a different experience depending on your use case. tl;dr; Gaming has been good so far, provided that the game doesn't actively prevent the game from running on Linux. Security is pretty good with it's atomic filesystem images and Tailscale VPN is pre-installed. For Windows productivity software, it's a hit and miss depending on the software.

@@mikes-tech-tips Appreciate the reply.

Glad that you liked it. Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback! Typically you can just boot up your old image after a bad update. But yeah after a fresh install you have nothing to rollback to. An easy way to boot into CLI or some fallback option would make things much easier.

It's a pleasure :). I'm glad that the guide was helpful, and it's good to know that the subtitles are getting used. I'll carry on adding them to my videos in future.

In the demo it's running Bazzite in Virtualbox so I can record easily but I'm running it on my desktop with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti.... which I need to upgrade at some point.

@@mikes-tech-tips yeah , I did try bazzite long before . Can't really fix flickering on my 970 , how did it go with your 1050 ? I'm thinking about to try it again with these new release. I try it long before at their first release.

@@4n4Queen No issues so far with the 1050 as long as I select X11. Sadly no game mode yet for Nvidia but hoping that will change with the opensource drivers.

Thank you, I'm trying to make these videos as beginner friendly as possible :). Glad that it was helpful

@@mikes-tech-tips They really are beginner friendly. Anyone can now do this without issue.

well I'm glad you did Audacity. I want my DAW software containerized...plugins and all. Keep the sprawl away from the system install.

@@greycell2442 Yup I'm using Distrobox for just that on my work machine. Much cleaner.

If you'd like to have a nice full screen operating system picker, you can use a tool called rEFInd_GUI. I don't know about this tool when I created my dual booting video. I'm planning on making a future guide for it. Although I found that I just changed the boot order to put Bazzite first as I don't log into Windows nearly as much.

@@mikes-tech-tips Just installed the refind via USB Stick and it's working perfectly, just left the default install and i got now a bootmenu and i can update the themes

@@greatcocococo6858 That's great news!!! I hope that you enjoy Bazzite. Remember to join the Bazzite discord if you haven't already.

I would have agreed with you 2 years ago. NVidia... yeah... quite good in Bazzite but Windows is better still, hoping NVK is good. We will see what happens in 2030 I have high hopes for Linux, will see were it goes .😃

@@mikes-tech-tips i Hope too, for to long

What effort to be put together when the source is closed ? Look at what they can do with AMD open source driver. The problem is with nvidia that so salty to make it open.

I'm a gamer and am really happy with Linux, but then again I only use AMD because feck nVidia for their closed sourced and overpriced graphicscard. HDR, FreeSync,, FSR, Raytracing in Vulkan all of those things are reality now in Linux, if you use AMD that is :) Also, why are "to much distros" a problem? There are like 3 Main Lines (Debian, Red Hat/Fedora, Arch) and after that its just opinionated choices. Linux is the ultimate way of creative expression unlike Windows where there is just one Kernel, one Desktop Environment; and either you like what Microsoft offers you or you are out of luck.

​@@CathrineMacNielTo the Distros, there are Main distro i understand, the most Windows Users do Not. For nVidia WE know ITS overpriced, but my 4090 Kills every Card. When ITS come to nice Raytracing or Pathtracing, AMD Burns away. And over 80% are Nvidia Users, so Linux must do better to Catch them.

Good question. From what I understand, even if secure boot is disabled, you can still get into the MOK screen if the OS that you are installing triggers it. This allows you to enroll a new key so you can enable secure boot again after the install is complete. If you don't want to enable secure boot, you can just skip the MOK screen part and just continue with the install.

OK. I just again. When you rebooted at the ind of the install...did you remove the Ventoy usb first?

I don't think that I removed the Ventoy drive, there was no reason to as the ventoy drive had a lower boot priority. But you might need to remove the USB flash drive first if your machine is set to first boot from USB.

Ok. Did mention my computer was ancient? It runs windows 10, but was designed to run 7. It ir uses UEFI, but I'm sure its an acient version. I dont have a boot order. It just has winows boot loader. I just use the one time boot option (F12 on my computer). After it gets done installing it just returns to Ventoy on the USB. When j try and remove the USB, it tells me it doest find a bootable drive. JUST a bit frustrating.

@@MrCauphy I suspect that Winows 10 might have been installed with legacy boot mode rather than efi boot. I haven't tried dual booting with that setup before. The simplest solution imo would be install to a completely separate disk or even a very fast external ssd drive. Test drive Bazzite that way rather. If you enjoy it then only figure out the dual boot on same disk option.

Glad the video helped. Just be careful when switching between desktop environments apparently it can mess up the config files in your home directory. I think KDE 6 will be good after it has matured for 3-6 months.

@@mikes-tech-tips I did the same, then read in the docs later that this is not recommended. I'm also find a lot of errors happening in the background that aren't readily obvious during daily use, I happened to find them while researching why gnome-shell was crashing - which, now I believe may be related. My intent is to do a clean install with gnome so I can verify whether that was the core problem, or whether the extension (breezy) was driving the crash.

Yeah Fedora is really pushing Wayland, which affects everything downstream. If you do a fresh install Bazzite and you have an NVidia card, it will now select X11 by default which makes it easier for NVidia users. Wayland is quite close to being ready for AMD and other GPU users, but not quite there yet. Enjoy the gaming! :)

Sorry to hear that you having trouble. A few things to try: * Boot a live Ubuntu/Mint and install the boot-repair package. That will sometimes fix Windows boot issues * While you in the live distro, is the Windows partition mountable and can you see the files? If you didn't make a backup if you can get to the filesystem you can make that backup. * There is a tool called ntfsfix (available in most Linux disros) that I've used in the past to fix a broken Windows boot (was a hibernation gone bad) in my case. Worst case scenario, you might need to re-install. Hope you come right. Good luck.

@@mikes-tech-tips thank you very much for the help. Unfortunately I can’t fix it. I’ve also mounted the sys hive into the regedit for changing some entries. It won’t work with the board. Maybe it’s a asus think. Even ventoy has a fix for the uefi bug but still don’t work. Reinstallation and restoring the files is easier and faster and don’t costs 2 days and a headache. :)

It's a South African accent which does have some similarities to the Australian accent. I have another video on the "error code 1", you'll often get that error if you previously installed Fedora workstation, Nobara or another Fedora Atomic Desktop. See if this helps ua-cam.com/video/GRdz08hJByo/v-deo.html . It's an annoying error that is affecting every Atomic Desktop.

I'm using a laptop with an NVidia GPU and multiple monitors works great in the KDE version of Bazzite. When I use X11 global scaling works perfectly but you cannot scale individual monitors. If you use Wayland individual monitor scaling works nicely (but gaming with Wayland and NVidia are not great at the moment). I'm not sure about the Gnome version of Bazzite, but I suspect it would be the same.

Thank you so much for the compliment :)

Thank you for your honest feedback. Currently the Game Mode support is only for AMD and Intel Arc GPU users but I hope that this will change with the release of NVK in the new mesa drivers for NVidia users. But agreed, as it stands it is only good as a gaming desktop if you are using NVidia.

@@mikes-tech-tips Yes im just testing the "deck" image, which is what I expected for a HTPC, Its actually easier to install Windows 10, use gpedit and swap the windows gui for steam and you end up with a full Deck/Console experience that is 100% game compatible, this is all we need in linux as well, replace KDE with Steam BPM job done, one should not have to go GPU hunting to do it, Intel igpu's are well supported in Linux, I used in Home streaming on my HTPC's any way, and I know a lot others do aswell.

I am using Bazzite for desktop gaming and still enjoying it but you've got some good points on the HTPC experience. Maybe give Bazzite another try in a month or two, I think that there are some big improvements coming. And again, thanks for the feedback :)

@@mikes-tech-tips Yes i will have to try it again later, the deck image just results in a black screen, testing HoloISO now.

Alors j'ai été dans le bios enlever la sécurité et tout est parfait .. Welcome Bazzite (steamDeck & Htpc Edition )🥰🥰😃🥰🥰😍🤩😍🥰

Bonjour :). I was writing a message that you probably need to disable secure boot but it looks like you came right on your own. I hope that you enjoy Bazzite!

Here is what I would try: * Make sure you are using an x11 session if you are using NVidia, if you using wayland you get all sorts of issues. But I don't think that this would impact your audio. But not 100% sure of this * If you are using HDMI audio, try plug in headphones directly see if you still have the crackling. * If you installed this weekend, you might be on Bazzite 3.0 which is based on Fedora 40 (which just released) which seems to have a number of problems. I would try rebasing to the last version (Bazzite 2.5) which was still based on Fedora 39. The command to do this is "rpm-ostree rebase ostree-unverified-registry:ghcr.io/ublue-os/bazzite-nvidia:39-stable-20240419" without the quotes Let me know if you come right. It also might be worth joining the Bazzite discord, they are very friendly and helpful.

@@mikes-tech-tips Thanks for the tips! I think something might have just gone wrong with the installation. Just reinstalled the entire thing and all of the sudden I got no issues now! Going on x11 definitely does help with things so maybe I only really needed to do that but going for a full reinstall never hurts

@nickc572 Wonderful news and weird that its suddenly working. If everything is working 100% i'd run the command "sudo ostree admin pin 0" this will permanently pin your current image so if there is a bad future update, you can always boot back into this version.

It's a pleasurer. Hope you have fun with Bazzite! :)
