Network and/or x.org/xwayland sometimes not working on boot
Since the beginning of December I have some weird issues with my bazzite install. (I had no issues before)
As the title says when I boot my pc, sometimes my network is not working (maybe 30-40% of the time).
Some other times I can't open any programs, when I open steam I get an error message saying that x.org is not running (maybe 5-10% chance this happens).
I'm pretty new to linux in general, but I found out that I can get my network working again by manually restarting the network manager with:
sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager
In my opinion something seems to break on boot sometimes and I don't really know how to diagnose this.
FYI
I dual boot with Win 11, fast boot is disabled
I have a Gigabyte B550 Board with an 2,5 gig realtek ethernet controller

Just got the X error again
race condition, steam starts before xwayland has started fully.
ignore and start steam manually
Steam does not autostart, I already start it manually. So with your explanation, xwayland is not starting at all.
This is probably just a placebo effect but I haven't had this issue again after clearing my .cache folder in the home folder on my Ally
steam is set to autostart by default
I'll try that when I get home
after taking a little break from trying to solve this, I recalled, that I was trying to automount my SMB share from my NAS via systemd right around the same time the issues started popping up. I now deleted some files from my attempt to get the automount to work and now everything seems to work again.
I have no I idea how this caused the issues with xwayland, but the problem seems to be resolved.
Now I just need to get the SMB automount working when I have some free time 😄
