Invoke Scopebuddy from Lutris? Or fix Steam to allow Gamescope and MangoHud hotkeys?
system: bazzite-nvidia-open 41, 5800X3D, 3080 TI
I've got WoW installed (through Lutris originally) and running with Scopebuddy as a non-Steam app in Steam. I needed to run through Gamescope to enable borderless mode so that game freezes wouldn't require a reboot (made a post on that last night).
However I'd really prefer to be able to use Gamescope and MangoHud hotkeys.
* If Scopebuddy can be invoked through Lutris, that should fix the Steam input wrapper consuming those hotkeys. What is the proper way to invoke Scopebuddy in Lutris? Preferrably without a bunch of shell script wrappers.
* Or ... can I work around this in Steam such that I can send MangoHud (example: shift+F12 to toggle MangoHud's display) and Gamescope (example: Super+S to take a screenshot) while running in Steam? I tried disabling Steam Input via Properties > Controller but that didn't help with the hotkeys.

Fullscreen game crash requires reboot to be able to use monitor again
System: bazzite-nvidia-open 41 with KDE, 5800x3d, 3080 ti, dual monitors
I'm having an issue where sometimes my WoW (installed through Lutris) game will hard freeze. The game image stays frozen on the monitor, even after hard killing (kill -9) any game related processes. I have to reboot the system to clear things up. Note: almost always happens when I'm actively using another program like Firefox on my smaller secondary monitor.
1. Is there a command line or hot key that would reset the GPU without a full reboot? Apps like discord are still running fine on the second monitor. System seems stable other than the frozen game.
2. Would it make sense to force WoW (battle.net) to go through Gamescope? As in would that either lower the chances of a freeze or make recovering without a reboot more likely?
Some more notes:
* I've tried multiple versions of proton, with the bleeding edge valve version actually seeming to crash the least
* Crashes don't seem inevitable. I've had multiple hour raids that had no problem. But other times, especially when tabbed over to a browser, it will lock up almost immediately
* I'm not in any way trying to use game mode, don't have it, this is Bazzite desktop version

Lutris games consider secondary monitor to be primary
Summary: I'm having an issue with multi-monitor use in Bazzite 41. KDE behaves properly with my "Primary" monitor. But Lutris games are seeing my secondary monitor as "Primary".
Issue:
A game in Lutris (World of Warcraft) and others think my secondary monitor is "primary".
Desired outcome:
I want to be able to start a freshly installed game on the primary monitor by default. Ideally without needing to tweak in Lutris on each new game install (but that's ok as a workaround if nothing else will solve).
For WoW ... luckily the game has a monitor selection choice. "Primary" monitor selection goes to my secondary monitor, but it also has discrete selection. This is more about wanting to fix the default behavior going forward as I start using Bazzite as my daily driver.
Details
* I have my monitors set where my primary is in the DP-1 port of my GPU.
* KDE is set for that monitor to be "Primary" using System > Settings > Display
*
kscreen-doctor --outputs agrees with the settings app, showing DP-1 as priority 1
System Background
* system image: bazzite-nvidia-open 41
* CPU: 5800X3d
* GPU: Nv 3080ti FE
* Monitor1 (on DP-1 port): Dell AW3821DW
* Monitor2 (on DP-3 port): KTC 2560x1440
PS. This is likely the same as https://discordapp.com/channels/1072614816579063828/1343086851841589321 ... but there is no conclusion there and I didn't want to hijack. Feel free to merge a reply in there if preferred with a quote of this message.4 replies
