I installed bazzite on my PC with the option of gaming mode. I'm trying to figure out how to get LACT installed on this system so that I can undervolt my AMD card. I don't see the option in Bazzite Portal.

Hi! After multiple attempts at trying to install LACT on Bazzite it seems like it ain't "compatible"? Whenever you click the "Enable AMD Overclock" it gives back a text box with one or two errors, I've read the Github explanation about a Boot Parameter solution, but when I go to edit the Grub file it doesn't even have the parameter that I'm supposed to add, when I added it manually it's like nothing happened (even after re-building the Grub file), so my understanding is that it ain't compatible yet? (Maybe I'm doing something wrong with the Boot parameter? It seemed a bit complicated)

Anyone else had this issue?

What's the correct way to install LACT on Bazzite?

Hi there! Sorry if I'm being an idiot, but I've been trying to figure things out for a few hours, searching here and there but I'm still at a loss. I've recently taken the leap and set up a dual boot Bazzite, and so far having a blast, even though I have to relearn a lot of things.

Latest issue is I'm trying to set up an undervolt/overclock profile for my RX 7900 XTX, and managed to unlock all options in LACT, but nothing I do seems to apply. I figured I'd try undervolting first, but Mangohud still shows the same value. To make sure, I've tried setting the fan at a fixed 100%, but that doesn't kick in either after applying. Am I missing something? Yes, it's the correct GPU (I've disabled onboard chipset in BIOS).

Please don't bash me too hard.

Edit: my investigations and reading of https://gitlab.com/corectrl/corectrl/-/issues/460 point me to a driver level issue with my GPU, as I seem to be unable to change settings using Corectrl as well. Still investigating to clear the fog and try to find a solution/workaround.

I had missed this news recently with my view of Linux being somewhat narrower and newer - but it seems LACT has increased tooling for Nvidia GPUs.

For someone with lower experience this broadens the accessibility of GPU monitoring tools and brings me closer to parity with Windows GPU tweaking (wishlisting undervolting Nvidia for 2025!)

I had previously been following a script / command to limit power usage of my Nvidia card, however LACT seemingly does the same thing via a GUI slider - along with other helpful info about the GPU in operation. I was able to tweak the power slider and see real time results when applied and while running a game.

Unfortunately this failed to install correctly from the Bazzite portal as confirmed in the log, I believe perhaps because the portal halted for almost an hour and did not ask me for any root credentidals (as it did on subsequent attempts). Then when attempting again after rebooting - it reported it was installed, but was nowhere to be found after a further reboot. I eventually fixed it when following some instruction on ublue discussions (I'll edit with the link when I get home).

Basically all I want to know is if there's anything I should install to further improve performance both for non-games/games.

Or is everything good to go with the Nvidia drivers installed And all that jazz.

I'm currently dual booting Windows 11 and I have Fedora Gnome and CachyOS KDE Plasma. I'm thinking about potentially switching to Bazzite instead since I also enjoyed using Nobara but because it's one man project, it was often broken and it took long time to receive an update.

I'm tired of Windows constantly breaking my AMD drivers.

I enjoy do to emulation and I use multiple custom keyboards and chinese controllers.

I don't like bloat that I don't need but I prefer to have all gaming stuff already installed out of the box without having to worry about missing things out and installing everything on each fresh install.

I use full amd build with 7800x3d and 6950 XT. I mostly use it for gaming but not exclusively for gaming.

What was your experience with Bazzite in 2025? Did you have stuff break or was it stable? What were things that you were impressed with and what were you frustrated with?

I enjoy having control over my system but also intuitive and simple maintenance.

How are stability and updates?

I really enjoy Gnome with taskbar extension.

I'm mostly between Bazzite and CachyOS as of now.

I'd really appreciate your takes.:)

Hello first time posting complete linux newbie (like hard to make worse) and well my experience is..... Not good, 7 hours for just steam to see my games and know i can't install corectrl for example and i straight up don't know how to control my fans, half of the commands i try (even for fedora) in the console don't work and the other half is missing something, unable to install a thing or find something and well i'm quite allergic to command line and when 50 of them appear on the scream i bang my head on the wall really hard but at this point i'm already thinking if buying a new house because this one not gonna stand for long.

Please i need help, a mountain of help

Edit : the house still standing all of my issues where adress and i'm happy because everything works, thanks everyone for your help and patience, i do now, like bazzite, i need to understand and learn how to use the konsole or some other apps but it will be good with time.

I tried Mint and it almost made me go back to windows until a guy beckoned me to just try bazzite before making such a big decision. So far, much happier than I was with Mint but still got some stuff to figure out as the title states

Does anyone have any apps or programs to suggest, and also how to actually make them work? I suck with the terminal

And any other general advice you might have?

Thank you!!!!

Hi everyone! How's it going? I had a 7800 Xt and used Bazzite normally. Performance was always above Windows and I was quite happy with the results. The thing is, I bought an XFX Swift 9070xt and, after that, I did a clean install of Bazzite, but the performance is below expectations. I notice that the GPU clocks are much lower, running around 1700MHz, with the card's power running around 100W. I've already installed LatCt to try to configure it manually, but the settings don't seem to change anything. I even reinstalled Bazzite just to be sure, but nothing changed. Just as an aside, I downloaded the latest ISO version and updated everything using uJustUpdate. Has anyone else experienced this and could help me figure out where I might be going wrong? Thanks!
