v2.2.0 - fsync kernel & HDR in Game mode

2.2.0 (2024-01-18)

Confused about which image you should use?

Try our new image picker.

It is recommended that you flash this ISO with the Fedora Media Writer. Applications like Ventoy are known to have issues.

If you have previously used the DeckMTP plugin in Decky Loader on SteamOS, be sure to disable Dual-Role USB in the Steam Deck BIOS, otherwise you will not be able to boot to USB storage. It can be re-enabled after installing Bazzite.

Make sure you check out the Frequently Asked Questions

Warning

Due to an upstream bug, Bazzite cannot be used on Steam Decks with 64GB eMMC storage at this time. Upgrading the storage resolves the issue.

Warning

Handheld users: be sure to remove your SD card during install to avoid making unintended changes to it.

Warning

Dual booting with SteamOS or other Linux distributions is not supported.

Important

These are online ISOs. A stable network connection is required. We recommend using a dock if available.

Note

A helpful install guide can be found here.

Regarding Steam Deck OLED

Note that the install experience for this is still in-dev, and we can only guarantee full functionality once you've completed installation. Known issues during install are:

1. Non-functional Wi-Fi, requiring the use of a dock w/ ethernet to install
2. Incorrect screen rotation, recommend users install with the basic graphics option

Additionally, the following are still to be fixed once installed:

1. Audio system crashes randomly when resuming from sleep
2. Refresh rate control

Commands existing Bazzite users may want to run

• ujust install-gamemode-video - Add the new Bazzite game mode intro video (This is default-enabled in Bazzite Portal now)
• ujust fix-steam-download-speed - Greatly improve download speed in Steam (This is default-enabled in Bazzite portal now)

v2.1.0 - Steam Deck OLED & HDR

2.1.0 (2023-12-13)

NEW: Steam Deck OLED and HDR support on :testing

Note that the install experience for this is still in-dev, and we can only guarantee full functionality once you've rebased to :testing on your OLED. During install you will see the following:

1. Non-functional Wi-Fi, requiring the use of a dock w/ ethernet to install
2. Incorrect screen rotation, recommend users install with the basic graphics option

To rebase to :testing, you may run either of the following:
KDE: rpm-ostree rebase ostree-image-signed:docker://ghcr.io/ublue-os/bazzite-deck:testing
GNOME: rpm-ostree rebase ostree-image-signed:docker://ghcr.io/ublue-os/bazzite-deck-gnome:testing

Regarding Secure Boot

Due to devices like the Ally and OLED Steam Deck requiring kernel changes that couldn't be accomplished with kmods, we've had to begin shipping a custom kernel based on Fedora's kernel. This means our kernel is no longer signed with Fedora's keys, and existing Secure Boot setups may run into issues on the :testing branch.

We are working on custom signing. In the meantime, these changes will remain only on the :testing branch to provide fair warning to users currently using secure boot.
Please ensure that you've added the AKMods/Nvidia signing key via ujust enroll-secure-boot-key. Enter the password ublue-os if prompted.

It is recommended that you flash this ISO with the Fedora Media Writer. Applications like Ventoy are known to have issues.

If you have previously used the DeckMTP plugin in Decky Loader on SteamOS, be sure to disable Dual-Role USB in the Steam Deck BIOS, otherwise you will not be able to boot to USB storage. It can be re-enabled after installing Bazzite.

Warning

Due to an upstream bug, Bazzite cannot be used on Steam Decks with 64GB eMMC storage at this time. Upgrading the storage resolves the issue.

Warning

Handheld users: be sure to remove your SD card during install to avoid making unintended changes to it.

Warning

Dual booting with SteamOS or other Linux distributions is not supported.
