Bazzite adds support for Ayaneo 3 and the AOKZOE A1X with work towards MSI Claw A8 and Legion Go 2

Bazzite, the next generation of Linux gaming, has released a new build with lots of upgrades and support for more PC gaming handhelds.

Newly supported in this release are the Ayaneo 3 and the AOKZOE A1X. For the Ayaneo 3, all that's missing is support for extra modules as they're waiting to get them so support should improve in future.

The fun doesn't stop there though for this Linux system as Bazzite also has preliminary support for the MSI Claw A8 and the Lenovo Legion Go 2. On top of that all MSI Claw handhelds got an update to "improve controller after resume functionality and dual booting with Windows".

Even more with OLED devices like the OneXPlayer F1 Pro/EVA-1, Zotac Zone, and Ayaneo 3 receiving a patch to fix the screen turning off while adjusting the brightness. The Asus Z13 (2025) model is also now fully supported.

So much more on top of improved device support. The Handheld Daemon tool gained the ability to work with external controllers, they've improved Bazzite boot speed, along with some general performance improvements for gaming for all users.

See all in their update post and the official site.

OMG I just love this distro so much! I installed in on my Ally X and was so impressed that all of my other devices (desktop, Nvidia Laptop, Intel Laptop) are all running Bazzite right now. It works extremely well. Forget about SteamOS, this is truly the next generation of Linux gaming emoji
