NVIDIA Edition: System shutdown/reboots when starting a game
TMI:
I haven't found any other tickets, so i am opening a new one.
I have the following problem: I installed bazzite on my laptop with a dualboot setup to use Linux for most of my gaming and my Windows instalation if I need it.
Important stuff:
Anyways the Problem I have, is when I start Marvel Rivals and and all the Vulkan Shaders are compiled the Laptop shutdown and reboots. I don't know if that the real Problem because I never really used Linux. But my Keyboard backlight turns off and the fans spin up just to turn off as well, I have a black screen and after some time, everything shortly turn on just for it to crash again. I think there is a Problem with the NVIDIA Drivers because with the newest drivers I also have Problems on my Windows machine.
I need help to somehow downgrade my NVIDIA drivers, I also searched online but i didn't find any documentation to do so.
Without starting any games my system has no problems and the system is only using the integrated GPU.

On a different Note:
- I use Proton Pass and if I click on copy Username/Password it doesn't copy them, are there any fixes i could do to not have the Problem and the Usernames/Passwords being copied on my clipboard? I also haven't asked on their Discord Server, so if you can't help me I would go there next.
- I have problems granting sudo to the Wootingsoftware to access my Wooting 80HE and the documentation and the Wooting website did not help me. I also haven't asked on their Discord Server, so if you can't help me I would go there next.
Thank you for any Help :Hearts_Kanna:

So my Laptop (expectedly) still works, just needed to wait, like always, same goes for the shutdown/reboot that happens when i launch games
you can rebase to an older version of bazzite with a different nvidia driver, you just copy the command at the very end of the patch notes in your terminal
This is strictly an example, but if you wanted to rollback to this build from 2 weeks ago: https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite/releases/tag/41.20250325
You would have to type
bazzite-rollback-helper rebase 41.20250325 in your TerminalI will try that
The drivers are part of the image, they cannot be downgraded separately. You can only downgrade the entire image
The drivers also have almost nothing in common with the windows drivers
Lastly, do me a favor and hold off on the hyperbole. Telling people software killed your laptop is doing no one favors, and making me very not inclined to assist
Okay i will, thanks and sorry
My Laptop instalation i thnk bricked, so i wiped the Partion wth gparted and I will reinstal bazzite without the Steamdeck interface which also started making Problems
