Seems like to not be supported by the Linux kernel out of the box. Unfortunately you can't easily do it on bazzite

Maybe it's something that can be included with bazzite or is, but maybe it's not worth the maintenance burden
But adding kernel packages is one of those things that is difficult right now, since all the modules are signed by bazzite
well... oof
no worries
I guess I will wait until something is being done or not
Somebody else can chime in
I believe we have a kmod for this that we don't include because it breaks other hardware
You could spin up a custom image, FROM bazzite, and install that kmod
And then rebase to it
Builds are free on GitHub
But of a learning curve through if you're up for it
Maybe it is a little too much for me haha
I dont have much time for tinkering
