Bazzite Desktop Removed Feral Gamemode (github.com)

This is just a heads up for anyone running Bazzite Desktop and using gamemoderun %command% to launch games. Took a bit to figure out why my games were no longer launching. 😅

It's inclusion was an oversight that affected only desktop images. Feral gamemode is completely replaced by the existence of System76 scheduler and joystickawake, both of which require no manual setup on the part of the end user.

You can simply remove that from your launch options.

My fault, lol. I brought it to one of the maintainers' attention a couple days ago by asking a question about it.

Although I'll definitely say it's nice not having to go into the launch properties of every single game to add the gamemoderun command.

It's a good change that reduces complexity, I'm all for it. Especially since it's no longer required to add the launch command with every game.

Seems like it would've been a good idea to put a placeholder script with the same name that does nothing for compatibility sake, especially for a distro like this.

Although I found out about joystickwake through this, never expected there to be a solution for this issue I've had occasionally!
