My understanding is that Bazzite has a decky version (boot to Steam game mode like Steam Deck) and a desktop version (boot to KDE or Gnome like other Linux distro).

Will bazzite-dx and bazzite-gdx also have both variations? Or would they only have desktop version like Bluefin and Aurora?

I would be interested in a bazzite-deck-dx. Are there any plans for it?

</div>

What is the update frequency of bazzite-dx? Will update the same as bazzite:latest, stable, etc?

I’ve got a Renoise license that I haven’t used on Linux in a while. My recollection is that I had to download a binary from a site that requires authentication. How does this image get around that?

I installed bazzite-dx-gnome in my notebook and works really good, but in my desktop it freezes after login. Does someone have a similar issue? I rebased from bluefin-dx

If I understand correctly, it automatically picks up updates from upstream Bazzite and just adds the same extra bits to each release. See here: [Package bazzite-dx-nvidia-open · GitHub](https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite-dx/pkgs/container/bazzite-dx-nvidia-open)

I’d look at this as a wishlist, for right now. Nothing’s been implemented yet. Starting to do that research, though.

FWIW Bitwig is available as a Flatpak and IIRC some version of Ableton is already packaged for “Bottles”.

Haven‘t had any success with the latter. IMO, Win Applications are kinda out of scope anyways.

A good few DAWs on Flathub are unofficial, unsupported releases. Maybe there could be something akin to bazzite-arch? The aforementioned would probably lend itself for that too, given its wide selection of packages. Question is how stable that would be, I guess.

I would migrate from Fedora 41 today if the ASUS version of the image was available but that’s not the case yet. Still, run a VM with it and I like what I see, seems much more cozy and focused than vanilla Fedora.

Does anyone know how to rebase to a dx edition? Website takes me to a GitHub with a rebase command, but I don’t think it is THE exact command I need.

```auto
docker pull ghcr.io/ublue-os/bazzite-dx:sha256-2bf73c66b7b0065988ba72411f317cf829f0be68a6881b2ae59739bc38218287.sig

```

I don’t have docker installed. What should I do?

</div>

Don’t pay attention to the GitHub Packages instructions, you have to use `rpm-ostree`. This is explain very well in the docs: [Rebase Guide - Bazzite Documentation](https://docs.bazzite.gg/Installing_and_Managing_Software/Updates_Rollbacks_and_Rebasing/rebase_guide/)

</div>

So it should be looking something like this?

```auto
rpm-ostree rebase ostree-image-signed:docker://ghcr.io/ublue-os/bazzite-dx:sha256-2bf73c66b7b0065988ba72411f317cf829f0be68a6881b2ae59739bc38218287.sig

```

Or without the sha256? And instead :stable?

With :stable at the end indeed

Interested in this too! I have switched to PC handhelds as my main desktop, knowing that I can simply hook up a Steam Deck or ROG Ally to a monitor and then detach it for when I want to go outside - I no longer consider traditional laptops or desktops, and I would love this to be ported over

Really excited for Bazzite-GDX. I’m already really happy with the OS for my personal needs but installing unityhub, jetbrains rider and PlasticSCM (Unity version control) inside distroboxes doesn’t seems to work very well for me.

This is exactly what I’m going through right now! Really interested in trying out Bazzite-GDX when it is ready

You just rebase to them
