Installed Bazzite on a new Rog Ally X, can't connect to WiFi. Need help troubleshooting.
My network shows up, and I've been able to connect once or twice but will lose connection eventually and won't be able to reconnect. Followed a few random suggestions online such as turning off fast boot on windows, turning off safe boot on BIOS, but still no luck. It was connected long enough all throughout last night to download some games, but disconnected this morning and have not been able to reconnect again. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Actually I might've found the issue. For some reason (when I was actually connected to the internet on bazzite) and the device went to sleep, this turned the "Fast Boot" back on in the BIOS. After changing this back to "Disabled" and restarting it, it immediately connected to the network. Strange

Have you tried turning off fast startup in Windows (different thing to fast boot)? https://docs.bazzite.gg/General/issues_and_resolutions/#no-wi-fi-or-ethernet-connectivity-in-bazzite-when-dual-booting-with-windows
I have tried this! Unfortunately hasn't fixed the issue...
You could try turning off power saver mode on the wifi and see if that makes a difference. Is the section just below the section I sent you in the docs "Wi-Fi Lag spikes"
I've give that a try and provide an update, ty!
