Is FSR in Gamescope broken?
Hi,
I am using bazzite-deck-gnome on a Ryzen 7 7840HS with 780m iGPU mini pc,
I play Automobilista 2 (motorsport simulator) quite often in Linux, previously in Ubuntu LTS 24.04 and have now happily switched to Bazzite (been just over a week now). I really like the full screen game mode and the convenience of the Quick Access Menu for experimenting/changing/monitoring the effect of gamescope performance settings in-game with the controller.
I have my native resolution set to 1920 x 1080 @60Hz (vsync is off) and one thing I have noticed is that if I set the resolution in-game to 1280 x 720 and then use the Quick Access Menu to switch on FSR, I can see the upscaling and sharpness effect on-screen but I notice that objects trackside as I am racing seem to slightly jerk past. If I turn FSR off, trackside objects then pass by smoothly.
As an experiment, I switched to the desktop and installed the latest version of Proton GE using the Proton Plus utility and then switched back to game mode. I then added this to the launch settings for Automobilista 2 "WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR=1 WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR_STRENGTH=2 %command%" and then set the compatibility option to use Proton GE. I launched the game and tested again and I can see the upscaling and sharpness effect of FSR provided by Proton GE, but this time track objects pass by smoothly, without the jerky behaviour that could be seen when using FSR via the Gamescope Quick Access Menu.
I wanted to ask if anyone else has noticed this when using gamescope provided FSR and is it a known bug?
Thank you for any help, I am very much enjoying gaming on bazzite.

Have just updated to the latest stable and now get this error when logging in via SSH

FSR - Am I doing something wrong?
Hi,
I have a mini pc that has an AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS CPU which has a 780M iGPU.
I have turned on performance monitoring in game to show whether FSR is on or off.
I have set my default resolution in Steam settings to 1920x1080@60
I then launch a game, go into settings of the game and set the resolution to 1280 x 720 and set it to Windowed.
I next bring up the performance overlay by pressing the Xbox button and A and I select the FSR upscaling method, however the FSR status in the performance monitor very briefly flicks on/off but stays off. Am I doing something wrong?

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.
