Hello. I installed Bazzite yesterday. Since i tried to use my second monitor, my OS completely freezes. As far as i understand, it's Wayland. Plugging it in is okay, but the moment i want to hover over my second monitor, the whole pc freezes and i need to reboot. I don't know how to fix it. Didn't happen on Zorin OS on X11, nor Wayland, altho wayland on zorin was running games pretty poorly.

OS: Newest Bazzite

PC: Razer Blade 15 2018 GTX1060 MaxQ

Display via: Mini DP

Nvidia: 580.142

Driver version: 580.142

CUDA: 13.0

At this moment I don't even know if it's worth using linux for games for me. Mainly here for power but also it looks nicer. But without the monitor, Bazzite is useless for me. And I don't know what kind of distro to go for. I don't know much about Linux. I just wanted out of the box experience (as possible, some tweaks i can do)

Hello. I downloaded Bazzite yesterday. When i plugged my second monitor into my pc, everything was okay, but the second i moved my cursor right like I wanted to go over the second monitor, it froze. Like on the border. I suspect Wayland is the issue. Any idea how to fix it?

I recently installed Bazzite on my notebook. Razer Blade 15 2018 GTX1060. When i plug in my secondary monitor, and move my cursor like i want to go over it, i won't even get it on that screen and my system freezes. As far as my understanding goes, it's because of Wayland. Didn't have such an issue on Zorin OS. I wanted to try Bazzite because it's really nice and gives me the feeling that my pc can be a bit faster and have better fps. The fact that i didn't notice noticeable improvement in fps in comparison to Win 11 on Zorin is just my observation, maybe I'm doing something wrong. But i guess, given the age of my GPU and how Wayland hates old Nvidia's, I'm cooked. By no means is this hate on Linux or Bazzite. I've really enjoyed it, even tho i struggled a lot because I'm not that familiar with technology in this sphere. So do i understand it correctly? Can't really use Bazzite because it causes this issue and the problem is unsolvable pretty much? I've enjoyed Linux, but Zorin didn't feel right to me, not much improvement in FPS and Bazzite which i love does not work for me. Ain't gonna learn with Arch based distros because I don't have time for that. I needed something plug and play. I guess windows it is, unfortunately

I can't decide between Zorin OS and Bazzite. I have my notebook dualbooted. Win 11 for school and kernel anticheat games, Zorin for games. Is it worth switching to Bazzite? No bias or anything. Am i going to see any improvement? Something worth switching? I want my Linux to look nice and manage games well.
