Bazzite won't detect my TV if I switch it on after booting (lemmy.world)

I installed bazzite to replace windows 10 and really liking it so far. I haven't experienced anything major issues wise, and it's working nice with my rtx 2070 for everything I've tried in Steam so far.

The only issue I have now is per the title. I have the PC connected via HDMI to an AV receiver and then to the TV. If I boot the PC without the TV on and input set to PC, the display doesn't trigger when I switch to it afterwards, even if I wiggle the mouse or whatever. It only works if the monitor is ready and waiting before I boot.

Any clues? I am very new to Linux, haven't used it in ages and then not intensively.

Might be a Wayland issue, according to this bug report.

Do you have a second monitor you can use, or maybe a way to remote in? I'm wondering if the television is detected at all. If so, what resolution is it set at when it is working and when it is not? What refresh rate?

Can you rule out hardware as the cause? Try booting from a live image. You can make a Ventoy flash drive and place several different live images in there. Try booting from Debian and Manjaro. See if you can reproduce with Mint 21.

If it all seems consistent, especially with that older Mint distro, then I would consider this a hardware issue. I'm that case, is your TV expecting HDMI 2.1? Can you try a different cable?
