THE NEXT GENERATION OF LINUX GAMING

Bazzite is a cloud native image built upon Fedora Atomic Desktops that brings
the best of Linux gaming to all of your devices - including your favorite
handheld.



PLAY YOUR FAVORITE GAMES

Bazzite is designed for Linux newcomers and enthusiasts alike with Steam
pre-installed, HDR & VRR support, improved CPU schedulers for responsive
gameplay, and numerous community-developed tools and tweaks to streamline your
gaming and streaming experience.

Own games outside of Steam? Lutris (Pre-installed), Junk Store Decky Plugin, and
Heroic Games Launcher from Flathub can not only run games from other stores, but
cleanly integrate them into Steam Gaming Mode, including: EA App, Epic Games
Store, GOG.com, itch.io, Rockstar Games Launcher, Ubisoft Connect, your dad's
old CDs, and more!

ON ALL YOUR FAVORITE DEVICES

Bazzite works for you whether you prefer to game on your handheld, chill on the
couch with your home theater PC, lug your laptop to the LAN party, surf the
subway with your tablet, or pretend you're getting work done on your desktop -
no judgement, we're hopelessly addicted to Deadlock too.

TAKE YOUR GAME LIBRARY ANYWHERE



Your MicroSD card game library can be shared between multiple Bazzite installs
no matter which devices you're using.

UPGRADEROLLBACK
UPGRADE FEARLESSLY

Bazzite is Atomic meaning that after every update the previous version of the
operating system is retained on your machine. Should an update cause any issues,
you can select the previous image at boot time.

Additionally, images of the operating system are retained in our repositories
for ninety days and can be switched to via the terminal. Nvidia driver update
broke something you needed? No worries, rebase to the last known good release
and pin it so that it's retained as long as needed.

Experience enterprise class security with out-of-the-box SELinux, Secure Boot
support, and LUKS full disk encryption with optional TPM unlocking.


RUN YOUR FAVORITE 
APPLICATIONSCONTAINERSEVERYTHING
APPLICATIONS

In addition to a plethora of commonly used GUI and CLI applications being
available thanks to Flathub and Homebrew, Bazzite brings the tools and
techniques created by the cloud native community to your desktop.

Built in container support means packages for any Linux distribution can be
installed and used as if they were native applications. The included Ptyxis
terminal and BoxBuddy app provide first-class access to your Distrobox
containers, letting you focus on what matters - your software.

Running a game, a development environment, a container for your Jellyfin server,
or a utility only available on the Arch User Repository? You can rest assured it
works here. Bazzite is developed on Bazzite.

customized GNOME experience with tweaks that can easily be undone if desired.

From your handheld to your home theater PC, Steam Gaming Mode offers the premier
console-like experience, and can be extended with community-developed plugins
and themes thanks to Decky Loader.

LENOVO LEGION GO

A high resolution screen, detachable controllers with dual gyros, sturdy hinge,
and hall effect joysticks and triggers, make the Legion Go the highest
engineered handheld in the market. With dual per-controller gyro, 4 paddles,
RGB, and touchpad that are usable in Steam Input, it matches and exceeds the
Steam Deck, there's nothing to miss from Valve's offerings.

Even better, detach the controllers and enjoy the same experience on the couch
and bump to 30W to give that extra oomph to new titles. Pop the stand open,
dock, and use yours as a desktop replacement, as many of us are doing.

Having the fastest Laptop CPU AMD makes, you'll forget you even had a laptop.
The Legion Go also makes for a great tablet, utilizing our built-in Android
container support to take full advantage of that touch screen. Unfortunately,
Windows may need to be dual booted to keep the BIOS updated.


ASUS ROG ALLY & ALLY X

Being ASUS' little 'hot rod', the ROG Ally runs at over 40W stock, with a
cooling system to match.

Combined with its 120hz VRR display and 800Hz gyro, the Ally is a joy to use and
a must for the most discerning gamers. Experience 0 latency with your actions
and the most consistent frame pacing in the market.

With granular TDP controls, fan curves, RGB, and paddle support in Steam Input,
Bazzite offers a hand-tuned experience for the Ally, that will have you leaving
Windows behind.


VALVE STEAM DECK

Bazzite offers a solid alternative to SteamOS, with up-to-date kernel, packages,
and a first class desktop experience. Choose between KDE Plasma and GNOME, and
layer system packages to turn your Steam Deck into a mini computer while still
retaining feature parity with SteamOS, including firmware and BIOS updates.


GPD DEVICES

GPD devices offer the smallest form factor laptops out in the market, with high
quality controllers built-in. It is intended for the seasoned road warrior.
Great for gaming, work, and even light machine learning.
The GPD devices are a joy to use, and fully supported by Bazzite. It has
out-of-the-box support for the L4, R4 buttons, touchpad, and gyro to be used in
Steam Input, and bundled ROCm for your machine learning needs.

We support all of GPD devices (2023/2024), including GPD Win 4, GPD Win Mini,
Max 2.


ONEXPLAYER

OneXPlayer devices are the best 3-in-1 devices on the market, with great build
quality, displays, and performance. Snap on the controllers, game, and then
replace with a folio keyboard to take your work on the go.

We offer great support for the X1 (AMD), X1 Mini, and OneXFly devices, and are
looking into improving support for OneXPlayer 2 Pro and OneXPlayer Mini, and
Intel variants.

Supported devices enjoy Gyro, RGB, and back button support out of the box.


AYN LOKI

The Ayn Loki is our pick for the most portable handheld in the market right now.

With a great high resolution screen, controls that feel great, and sick looking
RGB handles, there's a lot to love. We offer RGB control out-of-the-box, and the
handheld experience you would expect with such a handheld. We have verified
support for the Loki Max, but if you own one of the other variants then get in
touch with us. We will make sure the next Bazzite version has great support for
your unit too.


HOME THEATER PCS

What makes Bazzite great for handhelds transfers over to Home Theater PCs. Enjoy
the PC gaming console-like experience that a setup like that should have from
the comfort of your couch. Feel free to bump up the frame-rate and resolution,
without the power limitations of a handheld.

This experience is powered by Valve's window manager, Gamescope, which is
included in our Handheld/HTPC images. Gamescope has certain hardware
requirements with fantastic support for recent AMD GPUs and decent support for
Intel GPUs.

Nvidia still has driver issues with Gamescope and is not supported,
unfortunately. Bazzite supports Nvidia drivers on our desktop images, so you can
still use our Desktop variant.


DESKTOPS & LAPTOPS

Bazzite marries Cloud technology, gaming, and developer tools into a compelling
package. With Bazzite, you can work and game on the same OS, regardless of what
your hardware is or what your work consists of.

We make sure our desktop images work on ASUS Laptops, Lenovo Legion Laptops,
Framework Laptops and on AMD, Intel, and Nvidia GPUs. Out-of-the-box tools such
as Distrobox, Flatpak, and package layering, you can install that one missing
package like a VPN client you bought a year ago, all while keeping the benefits
of an atomic operating system.

What benefits does atomic bring? A scenario where an update breaks a package
occurs, but now you can completely rollback safely and quickly to any Bazzite
build that came out within the last 90 days. Delivered straight to you from our
image repositories. Rollbacks and rebasing almost act like a cloud save for your
operating system.

Bazzite is an official community-support option for Framework laptops, with
out-of-the-box support for all of Framework's hardware, including the custom
handhelds community members keep showing off!

Enjoy enhanced dGPU support on the Framework 16, no setup, no launch options, no
fuss. Applications like Steam, Lutris, and Ollama are automatically configured
to run on your dGPU for optimal performance. Thanks to Framework's modules you
can even add a MicroSD card slot and share games with your other Bazzite or
SteamOS running hardware - plug and play just like any gaming handheld.

Looking to do more than game? Bazzite comes with full support for SELinux &
Secure Boot, and contains helpful ujust commands for setting up TPM unlock for
LUKS drive encryption. Improvements to power management and enhancements to
GNOME allow for improved battery life, and the atomic desktop model provides a
bullet-proof base with easy rollbacks.


OTHER HANDHELD PCS

Note: Intel and Ayaneo handheld support is still limited.

For most Ayaneo handhelds we offer controller support, but certain models either
have stability issues or are missing a speaker driver.
If your handheld hardware is not listed, then you can still give Bazzite a try
with our Handheld/HTPC image.

Your mileage may vary with untested hardware.


NEW USERS

Download
View the Bazzite initial setup guide.
View all Bazzite documentation. Why is the ISO so large?:
Desktop operating systems distributed in OCI containers are still a relatively
new concept and we've had to make some concessions for technical reasons.
Flatpaks and their runtimes are included in the ISO, and a second copy of Fedora
Linux is used to bootstrap the installer. The large size of our ISO is not
indicitative of final install size on disk.


EXISTING FEDORA ATOMIC DESKTOP USERS

It is recommended to remove any layered packages before proceeding with this
command:
rpm-ostree reset

You may rebase to Bazzite with this command: rpm-ostree rebase
ostree-unverified-registry:ghcr.io/ublue-os/:stable

If you're using secure boot, follow our secure boot documentation before
rebasing. You may also follow the rebasing video guide.

It's recommended by upstream that you stick to the same desktop environment as
your current install when rebasing.

Your flatpaks and flatpak remotes will not be changed during the rebase process.
Once rebased, you can optionally install Bazzite's default flatpaks by running
the following in a terminal:
ujust _install-system-flatpaks
