Why?
Over the course of Bazzite’s lifespan there has been instances of manual intervention that users had to perform to continue receiving future updates. The Universal Blue maintainers wish to avoid updates where action is required since the end-goal is a maintenance-free operating system experience, however sometimes it happens.
Users are also curious about what major changes that were deployed in an update, and since we’re moving to more of an announcement-based approach for updates as opposed to the Bazzite Buzz newsletters then it is better to have up-to-date information on the newest Bazzite changes without staring at the forum or the Discord all of the time.
