eGPU freezing when in game
I have a GPD Win 4 8840U and I’m using a Thunderbolt/USB4 eGPU dock with a 5700 XT. This model:
TH3P4G3 (https://a.aliexpress.com/_mKYalAO)
I’ve tested this with an Intel-based TB device, so I know the dock and cable works.
I managed to get the dock to authorize and trust in the KDE settings. I used the all-ways-egpu script and used Method 2 and 3.
In gaming mode, I plug in the eGPU and after a second it’s recognized. I’ll launch a game (Helldivers is what I’m testing, but other games are the same) and it’ll initially work. MangoHUD will show the iGPU at little to no utilization and the game runs really great. All expected. However, after a minute or two, the entire system freezes and cuts to a black screen. No way to interact except to hard power cycle.
I can’t tell if this is a problem with Bazzite, the dock, my cable, or the handheld. Is there a log or event viewer I can review to help me pin down where and why I’m crashing? I am hoping to document this for others in the future.

Audio issues after updating to Bazzite 3.0.0 on GPD Win 4 (8840U)
I recently updated to the latest stable release of Bazzite-Deck (Fedora 40, Kernel 6.8, KDE 6) and I'm encountering audio issues. It's hard to explain, it just sounds bad. As if the bass is missing and it's highly compressed. The issue persists in gaming mode, desktop mode, and doesn't matter what audio device you use. I've tried the headphone jack, built in speakers, Bluetooth, and a pair of USB headphones.
If there's no easy solution, what is the procedure for rolling back? I noticed there's a helper to roll back now, not sure how to use it.

Handheld Daemon 2.6.3 broken on GPD Win 4 (8840U)
I recently updated Bazzite (Stable), and found that HHD no longer works. Controller now reports a 360 controller, no gyro available, and triple clicking the R4 button does not bring up its menu. Is there a way to downgrade back to the previous known working version? I was on 2.5.3 before it broke.
I tried running sudo systemctl enable --now hhd@$(whoami) and restarting to no avail.
