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.

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?

You can access those past images/snapshots even from a new install ;) .

As it seems to have been some time since it started, I'd suggest trying out the oldest still accessible snapshot/image.
