So I have been getting green screen of death on this new computer build of mine. This new computer is the first time I have run linux as I am NOT paying Microsoft any more of my money. The green screens started happening immediately I had originally thought it was due to old drivers at first but I updated every last thing I could find and it is still happening. AI told me that it could be a corrupted file system and suggested a command but it did not seem to do anything and I do not know why. Please help with this and any other suggestions on why I may be greenscreening. It is very intermittent, if I am online for 17 hours it will happen once or twice. Anyway, here is the command the AI gave me and its results…

fsck / btrfs --check --repair fsck from util-linux 2.40.4 If you wish to check the consistency of a BTRFS filesystem or repair a damaged filesystem, see btrfs(8) subcommand ‘check’.

Probably a super newb question but I am a super newb here in Linux lol

X870 RX9070 XT Ryzen 9800X3D

Thanks in advance

      I have not tried what you are asking in the second line because I have no clue what a secondary TTY even is, let alone the shortcuts or commands to do it. You were wondering if I tried this while the green screen is up or while everything is working normally?

        While the green screen is up. I listed the shortcuts in the above comment. If there is an issue in the graphics pipeline you may be able to troubleshoot from a terminal only session using Ctrl+Alt+F2.

        Login to that text only eesison with the username a password you used when creating the image.

        Do you know which bazzite image you used? I think for your configuration it should have been bazzite-desktop. You might be having a green screen graphical issue if you accidentally downloaded a flashed bazzite-deck or bazzite-nvidia with an AMD graphics card.

          It was desktop KDE I can not remember if it was the one with gaming mode or not. I think it was not but I could be misremembering. I used one of the first install and the other on the second.

            Where you able to log in to a TTY session?

            All bazzite images support ‘gaming mode’. The deck images boot into it straight away which could cause problems with desktop hardware.

            Consider joining the ublue discord group and troubleshooting with the creators of bazzite in the bazzte channel. They are very knowledgeable and if your issue is reproducible they would be able to implement a fix in future images.
