Fixes for some issues I faced while I switched to Bazzite / Aurora-dx - Lemmings.world

So a week ago I wiped my SSD and tried Kinoite and Bazzite. I switched mostly for a fresh Wayland experience with Plasma and also so that I don’t spend too much time tinkering to solve some minor issues ( well it didn’t go as expected). I ended up settling with Aurora-dx because it’s a good balance between Kinoite and Bazzite while still offering all the Ublue goodies. Here are some things that I couldn’t find fixes for even after I tried Reddit and the Ublue forums -> — 1. Opening any Flatpak app or moving the cursor makes the display black out I actually started experiencing this issue in other distros way before I switched to Kinoite / Ublue. After I’ve switched to AMD this was happening almost every time I turned on the computer. (This is AMD specific) The issue can be fixed by setting a udev rule, like this : sudo vim /etc/udev/rules.d/30-amdgpu-pm.rules Then enter the following in the file : KERNEL=="card0", SUBSYSTEM=="drm", DRIVERS=="amdgpu", ATTR{device/power_dpm_force_performance_level}="high" Keep in mind that you may have “card1” instead of “card0” you can check it by doing an ls within /sys/class/drm/ Alternatively if you just want your display to stop blacking out in your current session only then : cat sys/class/drm/card1/device/power_dpm_force_performance_level >> high — 2. Display turns off entirely in Fullscreen applications. this is probably KDE specific, I do not know about Gnome Display Configuration > Adaptive Sync > Never This should fix it. But when the computer wakes up after a sleep session, the issue could appear again. I don’t think they have a fix for this yet. — 3. Steam not able to add directories from any other location (including any folders in the same drive) This is not a proper solution, It just happened to work for me so I thought I’d share. Just symlink the Game directories you want to .steam/steam/steamapps/common like : ln -s PATH_To_Game_Folder ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Game_Folder For the folks using flatpak steam the steam directory will be under .var/apps/ I personally use Bazzite-arch container for gaming and it has been working really well, although the game shortcuts don’t work unless you start the container. I hope that someone will find use in the contents of this post.

Steam in-game overlay is not working in Bazzite

Steam in-game overlay is not working in Bazzite - Lemmings.world

So today I installed Bazzite for the first time on my computer. I continued with the pre-installed steam package (which was surprisingly not flatpak). I’m using an Intel cpu and an AMD RX6600. Games are working fine but I’m not able to use the in-game steam overlay. Some games like Apex legends rely on it to complete a sign in process. Apex is saying that I don’t have in-game overlays enabled, when I clearly have it enabled (for the game and within the gernal steam settings) . I tried changing the keys from the default ‘Shift+Tab’ but still no luck. Does anyone have a solution for this ? Or should I install flatpak steam on Bazzite ? Edit : It seems that I’m also not able to add steam libraries from other drives, not working with ntfs partitions and btrfs partitions.

I'm going to reinstall linux on my computer. What is it like to run something Silverblue based these days ?

I'm going to reinstall linux on my computer. What is it like to run something Silverblue based these days ? - Lemmings.world

I have been using CachyOS for more than 6 months at this point and I’m pretty happy with it. Among the many others, this is probably my favourite arch based distro. I initially installed it because it offered Hyprland desktop, and I didn’t want to bring over my messy config nor did I want to start from scratch. But sometimes when I want to game or when I wake up my computer from sleep the display would just keep blacking out and won’t let me use it until I restart the computer (I am using an AMD GPU btw). This issue has been happening on Plamsa 6, and Gnome as well. I have tried various fixes from the ArchWiki but it’s still there. Other than that I really liked the Distro. It’s not like changing distros can solve my moitor blacking out problem, but I’m going to try something based on Silverblue for a change. Yes, I have tried the Ublue project in the past, it was good but I couldn’t get into the whole immutable thing back then, so I hopped back to my staple Arch/Tumbleweed and carried on. Fast forward to today… I’m thinking about trying Bazzite or Aurora [https://getaurora.dev/] as the idea of having a low maintenance system is now very appealing to me. I’m not necessarily a hardcore gamer but I do play games every other day and also run some LLMs locally every now and then. I’m not sure which one I should go for between Bazzite and Aurora. Maybe someone who has run both can give their opinion.

Any good backup solution for non-rooted android device ?

Any good backup solution for non-rooted android device ? - Lemmings.world

I want to backup some apps and app data in a zip file and be able to restore it into a device. It’s okay if I have to use something like shizuku to enable backups.

Is there any solution available for controlling the volume without pressing the physical volume buttons ?

Is there any solution available for controlling the volume without pressing the physical volume buttons ? - Lemmings.world

So I just bought a OnePlus 12 recently, I was used to controlling volume using the onehand operations goodlock module in my Samsung galaxy S23. I basically never had to press the volume buttons to control the volume unless absolutely necessary. Possible ways I’ve thought of (it would be really great if at all possible) - 1. Using the curved edges in phone screen for volume control. 2. Using the gestures to control volume when the screen is off. 3. Setting Diagonal swiping gestures to do different functions, controlling volume in this case.

Is there an any FOSS application that allows streaming of lossless audio torrents, or just audio in general ?

I’m thinking of something like stremio but for audio. An android app would be great There are apps like Spotube which are cool but it doesn’t have ability to stream lossless audio. Any suggestions ?
