Graphical artifacts/crashing in Bazzite
Hi all, I am occasionally getting a graphics bug in Bazzite that triggers upon switching from Desktop Mode to Gaming Mode. I believe it has also occurred once going from Gaming to Desktop. In most cases the Ally X switches successfully to Gaming Mode but the artifact remains as you can see in the screenshots.
However just now the graphics bug appeared and the Ally X simply went dead, black screen with the graphics artifact, power LED on, but requires a hard reboot. In all cases the artifact goes away after putting the device in sleep mode then awakening.
Is this a possible software issue with Bazzite, like something a new driver would fix? Or is this a hardware issue, like with my Ally X's GPU? If so I will start the RMA process after just 2 days of owning it lol.

By the way, I am using Bazzite in a dual boot setup with a 1TB Windows 11 partition and 3TB allocated to the Bazzite partition.
I just tried to boot back into Windows 11 by switching up the boot sequence in BIOS and it looks like my Windows install is deader than yesterday's fish. It reboots constantly after BSOD and tries to go into Automatic Recovery but BSODs again. I just ordered a USBC thumb drive to make a Windows 11 recovery drive to try and bring the Windows install back. I was planning to see if any of the Asus firmware updates could be done on the Windows side.
