PayPalBazzite Linux has been upgraded with the Fedora 43 release, and it comes with many handheld gaming enhancements for those wanting to break away from Windows.
With this release they've added full support for the Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X, although they note there's an issue with the Xbox Ally X above 80% volume they're currently trying to track down with the makers of the amplifier. So for now you'll need to keep an eye on that. Great to see support arrive though, since multiple reports (like The Verge) are out there about how much better the devices run with Bazzite compared with Windows.
There's also expanded support for the Legion Go 2, although it's not completely finished yet as it's missing "HDR PQ" but it also adds support for the two new buttons below the d-pad. Support for the OneXPlayer X1 Air was also added but currently missing granular TDP controls. And, the weird crypto handheld SuiPlay0X1 is also now supported.
You also get the latest GNOME 49 and KDE Plasma 6.4 desktop environments, continued NVIDIA support for older GPUs, improvements to the Bazaar app store, Steering Wheel support and more.
Overall, another fantastic sounding release from the Bazzite team - easily the best way to get something like SteamOS on various different handhelds, TV PCs and more.
See all in the forum post.

This is the best experience I've ever had with upgrading across OS versions, compared to something like Kubuntu which would always partially break with upgrades. I already donated to them their new OpenCollective page because Bazzite has made my Linux gaming experience infinitely better and I'm grateful for that

I'm also excited for the new donation options. I wanna support these developers as much as possible.

I've also installed it on a old office PC my aunt got rid of since it couldn't update to windows 11 so I made a living room PC. Had some spare Graphics cards and power supplies from me and my friends upgrading. Started with a RX 580 4GB but the case would trap hot air in the bottom so I switch to my Vega 56 just now which has a flow though cooler and it doesn't trap the air. Only issue is that HDR colors in game mode are wrong but the living room TV doesn't have HDR so thats not an issue.
I'm surprised at how well Sandy Bridge holds up the i5-2320 gets 60fps or close to it in alot of games. Stellar blade 50-60 fps Digimon Story Time Stranger 60 fps Monster hunter Rise 50-60fps Scarlet nexus 60-100 fps. Also the LADV CPU scheduler helps a lot on this CPU.
