NVIDIA jitter/ghosting
I apologize if this has been answered before, I found some references that might be related to my issue but not 100% certain. I recently made the switch from Windows to Bazzite after seeing nvidia getting some more support and decided to try it again to see if its viable. I noticed while using the steam client some of the interface likes to occasionally flicker/ghost. Also I noticed while playing games while smooth for the most part there is a lot of jitter (only tested elden ring and another crabs treasure so far). I was reading that a upcoming driver update might be fixing the jitter? Not sure about the steam ghosting but figured I might reach out just in case

Make sure you're using X11
Yeah there is a Nvidia 555 Linux driver that improves a bunch of stuff in Wayland but that's only coming later. To solve your flickering you need to log into X11 for now. You switch from the login screen, dropdown in the bottom left on KDE and bottom right in Gnome.
You can switch from the login screen after selecting your user in the bottom left or bottom right depending on your desktop environment
Oh hello Wolfy Fancy seeing you here
😂
I had a feeling that was the case but was just looking for confirmation, thank you! Assuming that also goes for the game jittering? I read it could be related to VRR which also is supposedly being fixed in the 555 driver update
I think 555 improves VRR but not 100% sure
Gotcha, heres hoping that update comes sooner than later! Thank you
Yup switching to X11 fixed both issues, thank you lots for the confirmation
