Post install optimizations and questions.
Hi! I hope you all are having a great day. I just installed Bazzite on my laptop and would like some help regarding a couple of issues.
1) Gaming performance is unfortunately very choppy, I am using the latest proton experimental offered by steam and have tested it with Deep Rock Galactic and Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown. Both games are easy to run on Windows but on Bazzite I'm getting sub 20 FPS. Is there anything I might have missed? I haven't made any 'gaming related' tweaks post install. I also get black bars whenever I downsize the resolution in game. The laptop in question has a 13" screen and in my case changing the resolution to something like 1366x768 instead of 1920x1080 gives me immense boost in performance at the cost of a minimal downgrade in visual quality.
2) Some applications are not scaling well, particularly the UI for Steam and Spotify looks way too tiny. I did a bit of Googling and saw people suggesting to add some environment variables, I tried doing that but it made things way too gigantic (tried a scale of 1.5) so I didn't bother with it anymore. Though I'd love to know if there's a more effective way to accomplish this.
3) Is there a 'power management' utility built into Bazzite? Preferably something which can cap my laptop's battery to 60% or 80%, yes my laptop supports the feature. Prior to Bazzite, I was accustomed to using TLP (paired with TLP-UI) for this, unfortunately this doesn't seem to be working now. I am aware that KDE also has this built in but due to a bug with ASUS' laptops, that also doesn't work. The charging thresholds reset after a reboot. I've seen people brute forcing this with a script which resets battery thresholds at each boot but I wanted some advise before I do something which breaks my install.
