I have not been as lucky. My story goes, try bazzite, get by, boot up one day to an unrecoverable OS. So I start over and try Ubuntu, get by, boot up one day to an unrecoverable OS. Switch back to bazzite, get by, and boot up one day to an unrecoverable OS.
As you can imagine, I am now back on windows for the time being (and enjoying the stutter free gaming…).
It’s entirely possible I’m misplacing the blame on nvidia, but my extensive troubleshooting at the time would suggest otherwise.
When you say “unrecoverable” do you mean the graphical desktop didnt load? Or you couldnt even log in to the terminal?
A lot of newbies assume that not getting to a graphical session means the OS is dead and nuke it and start over. When in a lot of cases, you can just switch to the command line and troubleshoot or roll back the broken drivers
It’s been long enough I can’t recall exactly what the situation was or how I was troubleshooting it. I recall that rolling back bazzite and the nvidia drivers didnt work for me when I attempted it.
Bazzite being atomic and hard to fix is actually what pushed me to try Arch. I’d been a Debian guy for ~15 years, but I just built my first new desktop in just about the same amount of time, and I certainly didn’t want it to feel old! So I tried Bazzite, which worked until some update broke some driver, and like you, rolling back didn’t work, and I couldn’t find anything online that would help me fix it, so I just said “Fuck it” and went straight to Arch. It’s been pretty good so far!

Just for future reference if you try linux again
