While that is true, what you where trying to do was change the system with the way you installed Battle.net. Bazzite i sreally all about Steam and you then add flatpaks on top, since that’s all handled in your home folder.
But I’m glad you found out the solution with the home folder yourself. :)
Bazzite is a SteamOS-like distribution. SteamOS is immutable, meaning most of the OS is read-only and have fixed updates.
So what you are doing is not really what Bazzite is made for.
I think it would have been an easier journey if you got Fedora or even Ubuntu, as those are normal filesystem distributions.
Have you tried without the ftp:// part. eg.
curlftpfs ftp-user:ftp-pass@my-ftp-location.local /mnt/my_ftp/
My systems are all on btrfs, so I make use of subvolumes and use brkbk to backup snapshots to other locations.
You can install a flatpak plugin for the GNOME software center and use that to update everything. It does debs, snaps, firmware and flatpaks for me on my work laptop.
Wouldn’t a high contrast dark theme do something like that?
I don’t have any sources, just anecdotal evidence. I work in an IT department for a large company and we see components give up because the machine runs stressful tasks for long periods of time.
Interesting results…
I would not recommend you heat your room/house this way, as it takes a huge toll on the PC hardware. It’s not really designed for creating heat, like the radioators are, so the components might “burn out” if stressed for long periods of time.
I’m not a Kubuntu expert or even user, so I will just list op the general steps.
Boot into the live USB and unlock the encrypted drive. Make sure you have an internet connection too. Then chroot (change root) into the OS drive you decrypted and look at the logs from last update or even boot logs if posisble to determine what went wrong during the update. If possible fix the issue and complete a full update again (apt update & apt upgrade). Hopefully that should fix it.
Does your PC have any known hardware that requires proprietary drivers, like Nvidia or Broadcom?
AUR package maintainers are not the same as Arch repo package maintainers. Anyone can be an AUR package maintainer.
They actually got a GTK3 based release out before GTK3 went EOL. Congratulations!
Can they update ti GTK4 based before that goes EOL? :D
Because no Package Maintainer wants to maintain it, is my guess.
Just to clarify. You system is not bricked. Bricked means that it can’t boot anything. It sounds like the update is not working correctly (eg the kernel is not fully loading).
You have two options:
Both options require a live USB with your distro on it (preferably the new version).
There seems to be links to some learning materials for it at the website.

As it is just a test (multiple choice and written text) I don’t think there are any preperation tests for it.
understand why this post has such a negative vote count when the conditions for its existence seems like an acceptable risk since it’s disconnected from the internet;
The OP says nothing about being disconnected from the internet. The referenced guide uses a computer without internet, but not OP.
So it’s fair to assume OPs PC is still connected to the internet, as must devices are these days.
So, they are kind of like Linux Live USB sticks with persistant storage?
I had something similar happen in Plasma 6.1 and 6.2. After I turned off the dccutils support in powerdevil, I have not had the issue since. My desktop is not a laptop, so it’s always powered, same with screen, so I don’t need fancy power profiles.
If firefox is still in /usr/lib64/firefox, then it should still be there. Maybe just the .desktop file is removed?
Firefox disables some 3d acceleration stuff on Linux, where it’s enabled by default on Windows.
So look through your
about:configabout:support for any acceleration stuff that’s disabled. You might be able to enable them.
