Is there a way to switch to X11? plasma-workspace-x11 crashes
My friend has been having some trouble with Wayland (on bazzite-nvidia, GTX 1050 Ti) and I've been wondering whether switching to X11 could fix many performance issues he encounters (Significant FPS drops + constant stutters in games). X11 logs show this:
So far, my other friend with a GTX 1660 Ti hasn't experienced any of those issues. Could this also be caused by a pre-16xx card?
My question is: How to switch to X11 to check if it fixes anything? It is probably unsupported, but still, did anyone find a workaround?

What image is your friend using? 1050 Ti is only supported by the closed module variant.
bazzite-nvidia... how do i check whether the modules are the closed ver. or open?
Check
rpm-ostree status
If it is open there will be "open" in the image name.it's without open
Deployments:
● ostree-image-signed:docker://ghcr.io/ublue-os/bazzite-nvidia:stable
Yeah this is the correct one for this gpu
But that failed module load is sus
yeah, no clue why does it happen tho
What
nvidia-smi shows?looks fine
that temp though 72c
maybe throttling is kicking in?
maybe... hm
40% load and 72c is way too much
Looks like that GPU needs cleaning and maybe thermal paste replacement.
Also 1050 Ti is ancient, and missing a lot when it comes to vulkan compatibility. It can and will be significantly slower compared to Win. Especially in some more demanding 3D games.
I know I have one of those.
Also mine tops at 55c under 100% load.
