Gaming is a powerful force.
Unfortunately, Bazzite has been crapping out for me when entering and exiting sleep, so I may have to give it up. Which sucks, because there's a fair bit of customization and another shortcoming is no easy portability outside of rebasing.
Not sure if this will work for you, I had a problem with waking from sleep first few days, found a forum post that worked for me:
Set a color profile in the display settings - doesn't matter which one, it just wanted one selected. Been solid-as a rock since.
That's... random.
But hey, I've tried a bunch of the logical, actually-sound setup tweaks unsuccessfully, who knows what dark rituals the proprietary Nvidia drivers demand to come back from the dead at this point. I'll give it a shot next time.
My annoyance has been RAM - Bazzite is configured to use zram for swap, meaning it compresses part of your RAM to save space. That's great since it's a lot faster than swap to disk, but I've been running out of memory with Kerbal Space Program and my many mods. I've got 16 GB of memory installed, but without a swap partition/file it just kills the game when it uses too much.
I am ordering a larger stick, but I would personally prefer a slowdown (from getting stuff from disk) to a crash.
Yep, related root causes.
You can set Bazzite to use a swap file instead and turn on traditional hibernate, there's a tutorial in their documentation. It did not work for me, and it sure didn't fix my dedicated GPU refusing to wake up from sleep, but you could give it a try.
But in general Bazzite wants to do power management like it's on a handheld with an APU and limited performance, and it has been a bit of a mess to try to use it on a desktop. I really don't want to go distro hopping again, but it honestly may be required. Despite all the hype this stuff isn't Windows yet.
