(Framework 16 iGPU) Artifacting only on bazzite?
A while ago, small graphical glitches started to appear on my relatively basic Bazzite install. I thought nothing more of it, but recently they are getting quite noticable (opening the start menu, scrolling around on the web). Out of fear that something with the GPU itself might be wrong, I installed Fedora 41 KDE Live on a USB stick and booted off of that, but couldn't get the glitches to appear by repeatedly opening the application launcher like on Bazzite. I also ran a
btrfs check to make sure that it's not just the fact that I'm booting off the USB instead of the SSD. How could I continue debugging this? Does Bazzite do something with the iGPU that basic Fedora KDE doesn't?5 replies

Did I break the FW16 Fingerprint Reader by changing my username?
Hi, I am new to using Linux as a Desktop experience. When installing Bazzite (w/ KDE) on my Framework 16 a few weeks ago, the "username" and "name" fields got switched up. Recently, it's been bugging me enough to try and change these around. When trying this initially, the settings window complained that resources were being used by another process (which I looked up to be systemd). It still changed the "display name" thing though.
So what I did was:
- I created an admin user "tempuser"
- logged out
- switched to tempuser
- ran sudo usermod -l newname -d /home/newname -m oldname
- logged back in or restarted
- Deleted tempuser
- Found out some stuff was not working, which I kinda expected though. Lutris said everything was missing for example, so I changed the prefixes. Found that profile picture and wallpapers werent set anymore, changed these aswell.
- (Probably restarted again here)
- created a symlink from /home/oldname to /home/newname in hopes that other issues could be fixed by this (Like Dolphin (the file explorer) complaining that all standard shortcuts like documents and downloads were broken)
- restarted
Only now, I realized that I 1. dont have any fingerprints saved anymore and 2. can't create new ones becuase the fingerprint reader apparently doesnt react to anything I do anymore. Any advice on how I would debug this or solve this issue? (I'd rather spend a day completely reinstalling the system when I have time than to try to go back and potentially break things even more.)
