GPU death incoming. Happened on my ASUS laptop.
Those artifacts might be cause by gpu overheating. Can you provide more details of the computer? Check that you have good airflow. What temperatures are you seeing?
Nvidia 1080, how do I install a temp monitor in bazzite? I see nothing in the bazaar, otherwise this is a good airflow PC that’s mostly been used for streaming since install, I would more likely attribute it to the weird closed source drivers I had to find to actually get the card to work. But yeah I def wanna check on the temps now just in case
Edit: I’m sitting nice and pretty at 60⁰c, thankfully this is looking to be just a poor install on my part
weird closed source drivers I had to find
Uh oh.
Bazzite should use these by default. If you had to install anything Nvidia, you mind as well wipe and start from scratch (or just try a different distro), as you have messed with the system Nvidia configs now.
…What prompted you to do that, specifically? Again, Bazzite is a gaming distro, right? So it should just do this.
A bunch of Linux nerds from last time I had an issue. Apparently this is a known issue on some older cards.
I do see one possible mistep though. When I was choosing a flavor of bazzite I selected Nvidia RTX series, which I believe the 1080 is not part of, I should have chosen legacy version for my install

Yyyyep. That was it, precisely.
Can confirm the install is working without issue now
Good!
Also, as a word of advice, when a bunch of linux forum folks tell you to do a bunch of manual stuff, don’t listen to them.
It’s always best to get fixes from your distro (or some package manager) first, where everything is integrated with the system and preconfigured and updated so you don’t have to maintain it yourself over time. Like, for example, picking the legacy drivers from your distro instead of trying a manual install. I cannot emphasize this enough; it was a common mistake I made with linux early on.
I mean, not everything can be perfect, but its very easy to break the system and go down long maintenance rabbit holes.
I will say, I’ve noticed it’s smart to treat Linux communities like specialty pet communities. You can follow the"general logic" but every now and when someones going to tell you you’re a bad pet owner if you don’t rub your guinea pig in coconut oil every week
