Issues After Update: SSD Auto-Mount + Handheld Daemon on Desktop ISO

First of all, I’d like to thank everyone who contributes to this amazing distro!

I’ve recently run into two issues with Bazzite that I’d like to ask about:

1. Auto-mount behavior at boot
When I first started using Bazzite Desktop (AMD RX, KDE Desktop, Steam Gaming Mode enabled), my SSD for EmuDeck ROM storage (not formatted inside Steam) was always auto-mounted under /media/<myusername>/.

Around March or April this year, without me changing anything, the same SSD started being auto-mounted instead under /media/system/. This broke my emulator setup until I figured it out and updated the emulator paths.

Now, I’ve noticed that the SSD is once again being auto-mounted back under /media/<myusername>/ instead of /media/system/.

  • Is there a way to make the mount point persistent so this doesn’t keep changing?

  • From a best-practices perspective, should the drive be mounted under /media/system/ or /media/<myusername>/?

2. Handheld Daemon on the Desktop ISO
I also discovered by chance that on the Desktop ISO I can access the Handheld Daemon (HHD) by pressing the Xbox logo + X. It only seems to appear in Steam Gaming Mode, not in KDE Desktop Mode.

  • Is HHD supposed to be included in the Desktop ISO?

  • If not, is there a way to remove or disable it?

Thanks again for all the work on Bazzite, and I appreciate any advice on these issues!

As for the first problem, I rebooted a couple of times and the SSD again started being mounted on /run/media/system/ as usual. So it’s a sporadic thing? What could be the culprit?
