How do I rollback a system update?
A rollback to the previous system deployment can be done by entering this command in a host terminal:
rpm-ostree rollback
Rollback can also be done in the GRUB menu (the menu you see before booting into Bazzite on Desktop images) by choosing the previous boot entry before booting to the desktop. It shows your current (:0) and your previous (:1) deployments, but due to a bug upstream there may be duplicates below them. Your personal files will not be affected by this, and you can still update to the newest builds after rolling back.
If you need to rollback to a different OS image, use the
bazzite-rollback-helperto do so.
Unhide The GRUB Menu
If you opted to hide the GRUB menu:
Unhide GRUB on Handheld/HTPC images with this command:
ujust configure-grub
Select the “unhide” opiton to have GRUB appear on boot.
Controls may vary with different handheld or HTPC navigate the menu and an external physical keyboard may be needed.
How do I save my current deployment?
You can pin your current deployment with this command:
sudo ostree admin pin 0
In a host terminal for a backup save state of your current deployment to rollback to if a new system update causes issues.
How do I save my previous deployment?
You can pin your previous deployment with this command:
sudo ostree admin pin 1

How do I unpin a deployment if I saved it?

sudo ostree admin pin --unpin 1
