Run a LiveUSB of anything else. If it works, install that instead.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The best advice was gratuitous.
If ai gives you something to try it's better than nothing. But I was going to suggest another distro if someone else hadn't. Thanks ai...

Tell us more about what's happening, is the whole monitor turning green or just parts of it?
Does it stay green until you do something, or does it go away on its own?
Does it happen only with certain games or applications, or does it happen regardless of what's running?
And please for the love of fuck do not run any commands you don't personally understand, especially if it came from an "ai". Don't poison your brain (and the planet) with "ai" bullshit, please!

I'm a bazzite user for a good year now, and also a first time Linux user. My hardware is amd as well, and for me the experience has been great, the most annoying issues having been compatibility workarounds for windows software. I would definitely recommend you to join their discord for support.
A green screen of death does not sound healthy, even crashes or hard reboots have never produced something similar for me. To rule out hardware issues, can you install a windows copy and/or create a USB with a live Linux OS such as mint to compare? (For reference, some Linux distros are able to run entirely off a USB stick, albeit much slower due to the obvious bottleneck).
If all this checks out I would suggest either reinstalling bazzite off a verified iso (there is a function before installing to make sure there are no errors) or using another distro.

Off the top of my head, I think sudo journalctl -xeb -1 should give you some useful error output for the previous boot (after rebooting from a failure).
There's a --list-boots option if you've rebooted a couple times since but aren't entirely sure.

Your motherboard wouldn't happen to be an AsRock? There's been reports of ASRock mobos in particular causing problems with 9000 series AMD chips, especially the X3D. Mate of mine running windows has been having it crash especially when idle at desktop.
I'm not familiar with a green Linux equivalent to the BSOD. Is it completely green? In that case it may be a graphics problem...
It’s definitely an AMD graphics card crash.

What do you mean by "green screen of death"? Is there any text or something you can transcribe or screenshot for us?

Which version of bazzite did you download? Do you get the installer to boot?
