Bazzite dual boot with Batocera guide (and some queries)
Hi,
I have installed bazzite-deck-gnome on my htpc today on a new 1TB SSD with the intention of having it dual boot with Batocera.
Step 1 - I copied the 2 x batocera partitions (efi 8GB and data 30GB) from my old SSD across to the new 1TB SSD using gparted and left the rest of the space on the new 1TB SSD as unallocated.
Step 2 - I then installed bazzite and let the installer partition the rest of the unallocated space automatically.
Step 3 - Once bazzite was up and running, I switched to desktop mode, opened a terminal and did "sudo nano /etc/grub.d/50_batocera" and then entered the content of 50_batocera from here https://wiki.batocera.org/dual_boot_ubuntu_batocera.linux#dual_boot_batocera_and_other_linux_distributions
then "sudo chmod +x /etc/grub.d/50_batocera" followed by "ujust reconfigure-grub"
If I press Esc just as the PC begins to boot it unhides the grub menu and I can then select "batocera.linux" from the grub menu and batocera boots and works without issue.
Couple of Queries please
1. How do I permanently unhide the grub menu in bazzite? I have tried "ujust configure-grub unhide" but the grub menu is still hidden. Is there another way I can unhide the grub menu?
2. Will the 50_batocera file that I created in /etc/grub.d still remain after a bazzite update/upgrade?
Thanks in advance for any help and guidance.

FSR implementation and activation?
Hi,
I have a HP Elitedesk 705 G4 mini pc that has a Ryzen 5 2400G APU. I use it in the lounge connected to my TV for gaming on Steam and for casual web browsing. It works well, however, the SSD is almost full so I will shortly be buying a larger SSD and I thought now would be a good time to move to a Gaming specific distro.
I currently run Ubuntu 24.04 LTS with a native install of the Steam client and Proton GE installed to make use of FSR by adding the relevant command parameters into the launch options for each game into the Steam client.
My question is, how is FSR implemented in Bazzite and what is standard practice for enabling FSR in Steam games? Is it the same as what I am doing in Ubuntu with Proton GE? or is it more elegant than that by, for example, simply pressing the PS button and X to bring up a performance overlay? Does Bazzite use Gamescope or Proton GE by default to manage FSR? (Do any of these elements need to be installed or are they already installed within the distro?)
Thanks very much for any guidance on this.
