Tell one thing that you miss after switching from another OS to Linux.

For me, it's Shared GPU memory.

The ability to properly wake from sleep.

Not having to set my displayport version back to 2.1 upon every boot.
- What kernel, distro, and gpu are you running?

  What's
  
  sudo lsmod | grep amd && sudo dmesg | grep VGA
  
  Return?
  
  Also is KDE the standard DE for bazzite?
  
  Full output of that command:

  And yes, KDE is standard. If I wanted Gnome, that's a different download entirely and is based on Fedora Silverblue.
  
  Ok so it's not on the OS level. Might be a wake setting in the bios. Allow wake from USB might fix it.
  
  Power management requires coordination between vendor firmware and linux, so new kernels may require updated vendor firmware. The ACPI open standard tells linux how to discover and configure the hardware. Some vendors support acpi_osi=linux on the kernel command line, others may need system-dependent entries.

  That's all I got sorry. Good luck
