I need some help here from the experts.

Some background below, but here’s the question:

Can I run KDE and Gnome on bazzite? How can I install and manage multiple images? I feel silly asking this, but I’m just not finding the correct documentation.

Background:

I have been running KDE desktop Bazzite on my PC for a while now, and I’m loving the robust and easy system (not to mention the ease of gaming). But I have found that one program just doesn’t work correctly, and I had a game (Stellaris) freeze my system several times.

I ended up installing EndeavorOS on an older PC to experiment, and found out that the program in question (openAndroidInstaller) requires a Gnome portal to access my hardware. (Long live the Terminal!) Now I suspect that perhaps the game freeze wouldn’t happen with Gnome either. So I want to have both on bazzite, but can’t figure it out.

    Update: I turned off steam overlay, and set the in-game video setting from borderless full screen to just full screen, and that did it!

    So much frustration, and such an easy fix. Ugh. But at least it’s working now. Thanks again.

      Thanks for the update! Glad to hear it’s fixed; also thank you (on behalf of the community) for sharing the fix. If I may, I think this would be a classic example of the XY problem. Anyhow, wish ya a great day!
