I installed bazzite to replace windows 10 and really liking it so far. I haven’t experienced anything major issues wise, and it’s working nice with my rtx 2070 for everything I’ve tried in Steam so far.
The only issue I have now is per the title. I have the PC connected via HDMI to an AV receiver and then to the TV. If I boot the PC without the TV on and input set to PC, the display doesn’t trigger when I switch to it afterwards, even if I wiggle the mouse or whatever. It only works if the monitor is ready and waiting before I boot.
Any clues? I am very new to Linux, haven’t used it in ages and then not intensively.


I have a similar issue mirroring my desktop to my tv via HDMI cable; it sees the tv but doesn’t let me mirror to it or arrange the displays. Its distro independent, so definitely something with Wayland or plasma. I eventually gave up and booted over to windows.
I’have same issue in linux mint 22.3 xfce, it’s xorg ?
Maybe? I did get it to output video, but still no mirroring and it doesn’t detect it as an audio device, so there’s no sound output
