Bazzite "Spring Cleaning in December" Update

Happy Holidays & Happy New Year everyone! This month’s update is a smaller one but marks the start of a cleanup effort that will end with us synchronizing with a number of other projects in the Linux Gaming space, sharing resources and patch sets wherever possible. We’ll have much more to share on this in the near future.

Changes in this update include:

  • Moved IWD to be the default wireless connection handler in Bazzite for improved wifi speed and connection stability
    • This will reset your Wireless Connections one time - we promise it’s worth it,
  • Promoted the Live ISOs to the default for future Bazzite installs
  • Implemented Greenboot which will automatically rollback in the event of a problem after updating.
    • You can see the status of this system in the terminal MOTD.
  • Replaced BTRFS duperemove with bees - a faster and more stable solution for file deduplication.
  • Fixed performance issues with the Legion GO 2 when using auto-vram
  • Added VRR support for the UGREEN DisplayPort to HDMI 2.1 adapter.

This update also brings the latest version of Bazaar, which now offers the ability to log in to Flathub and favorite applications among numerous other bug fixes and improvements.

Thanks again for being with us throughout 2025, and we’re very excited to bring you further improvements in 2026!

Why does the change log list both 590 and 580 Nvidia drivers?

Nvidia 580.95.05-1 :right_arrow: 590.44.01-1
Nvidia LTS 580.95.05-1

After the update I got 590, which is what I wanted, but out of curiosity, is 580 also part of the image, or is it accessible via a rebase, or something?

Awesome. Love the work you guys are doing.

Been using Bazzite for 2 months now since ditching Windows.

Keep up the great work!

What would you need to bring that vrr to the Amazon basics displayport to HDMI? Any info I can gather?

Nvidia LTS is the -nvidia images

Nvidia is the -nvidia-open images

Also worth noting that both ScopeBuddy and ls-iommu are now packages so their version changes can now be tracked in the bazzite changelog going forward.
