Nvidia GPU driver causes kernel oops and hard lockup upon shutdown; also caused new update to fail
I encountered a strange issue after Bazzite updated and I went to shut down the laptop. It hung on plymouth screen, and the keyboard stopped working (I could not alt-tab to the text log nor switch to another tty). It would not continue at all and I was forced to hard-shutdown the laptop, which took around 12 seconds of holding the power button. Upon turning it back on, the new update was not present at all, as if it has never downloaded and installed in the first place.
Looking in the journalctl log shows that the Nvidia driver appeared to cause a Kernel Oops during shutdown that somehow broke ACPI and caused the CPU to lockup shortly after.
I've attached a journalctl log and an output of the rpm-ostree status command after turning the laptop back on after being forced to power it off manually
