Ouch, didn't realize the Nvidia build was struggling. Hopefully it gets patched up soon.
If there's a previous commit before the issue is introduced you can pin it and wait to unpin until the issue gets resolved.

Fedora (including Silverblue/Kionite) is hard to recommend as a first distro though. It's an excellent platform when you know your end goal and how to get there, while providing "leading-edge" packages that's great for gaming.
But a project like Bazzite? Phenomenal new user experience for gaming and a very easy recommend.
Yup! Forgot to circle back to this post, but confirmed updated to 6.9.4 and games are no longer crashing.
This will be me using YouTube in 2025.
That's the one. Waiting for the patch to make it's way downstream.
+1 for Bazzite. I stopped hopping around when I tried it with Fedora 38, been using it since.
I've had one problem related to kernel 6.9.x affecting Steam game stability on my old hardware ( i5 2500k). Newer systems have BIOS settings that mitigate the issue. It's not a Bazzite specific problem. However, I was able to roll back and pin a previous image that uses kernel 6.8.x. Will unpin and update once I see a fix deployed.
I understood that reference.
Yes, and I love it.
I only use my PC for gaming and web browsing. I mainly stuck with Fedora, but also used Tumbleweed and Nobara. Regardless of which distro I used I was never fully satisfied with the initial setup or upkeep.
Fedora was great, but I was hopping around often and there was always a setup process to get Steam and what not installed and set up.
Nobara is a great option with gaming tools installed and setup for you. However, it's maintained by a single (awesome) dude and major upgrades often require some manual work arounds.
Tumbleweed was great until there were updates. More times than not, updates failed due to repo or dependency issues.
Bazzite, however, is the first (and only, so far) distro where I quite literally install, reboot, launch and log into Steam, start playing games. No other setup steps were required as everything I need is baked into the image. And with the automatic updates there's been no upkeep.
Since installing Bazzite I've had no desire to try anything else, which is great. More time for gaming. 🎮
At least it's not a phone number entry via slider.😤
If you're using KDE, you can go to System Settings > Software Updates and
Opening Discover will check for updates and, if updates are found, show the tray notification regardless of your notification frequency and when you last updated.
Fedora does roll out updates pretty much daily, which can be annoying, but you can choose what and when to update.
KDE here and definitely was not fine last I tried. I'll keep messing with it though out of curiosity.
Checking this out now! So far I like it. Only think I lose from using Gboard is the access to gifs, but I can work around that.
