From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Gamescope/Game Mode broken on my hardware :( (piefed.social)

Hi all. For the last several years I've been using Bazzite/Gamescope on my desktop, and even before that I was using it with ChimeraOS. It's been really great and I've enjoyed it thoroughly. Unfortunately I've begun to experience issues with games freezing. Within an hour of firing up a game, the image freezes. Audio continues playing on a loop. I'm able to pull up the menu and exit out of the game no problem. But then I fire it up and the same thing happens again.

I don't really know how to diagnose this issue but I reinstalled Bazzite fresh, same issue. Installed CachyOS-Handheld, same issue. However I tried launching games from the desktop mode and I've now spent ~20 hours gaming with no issue, but this is certainly not ideal. Any ideas on potential fixes?

I'm not missing anything. What you're missing is that there are 2 different graphical compositors (AKA software). One works, and one doesn't. On the same hardware. So it's not a hardware issue.

AND I AM TELLING YOU TO DOWNGRADE THEM SO YOU CAN SEE IF AN EARLIER VERSION WORKS CORRECTLY, INSTEAD OF SWAPPING OUT THE ENTIRE DISTRO

ONLY TO TRY THE EXACT SAME COMPOSITOR AS IF THAT WOULD FIX IT

So instead of that, try earlier versions! Different distros from the same date are obviously likely to be running similar versions of Gamescope or whatever else might be the cause.
