⨯ Confused by Linux / SteamOS Gaming? Be sure to check out our growing guides section.

The Bazzite Linux team continue powering through getting lots of updates since the recent major Bazzite 44 release for handhelds. Seems we may see weekly updates for a while, after the last update there were still a number of issues to sort.

Announced in a post on their forum, below is all the changes. They additionally said "We’re still hard at work on desktop TDP control, fan control, ASUS Ally RGB control, and any/all of your reports over the last couple of weeks. Thank you all again for submitting those reports, it helps a lot".

Key changes
  • Some issues with flickering or cutting-out displays under VRR/HDMI2.1 on AMD have been resolved!
  • OGUI now offers the option to toggle both TDP Boost & SMT on all supported handhelds.
    • As a reminder, TDP controls can be found in the Steam QAM under the TDP Limit toggle when performance profile is set to Performance/Custom.
  • Numerous additional handhelds have had TDP control added with more to follow.
  • An issue where Ally X handhelds could refuse to sleep if the controller was used during the sleep animation has been resolved.
  • Resolved an issue where some devices were wrongly emulating a steam deck controller, preventing Steam + A/B shortcuts from working as intended.
    • If you’re still having issues with this reach out to us for direct support.
  • InputPlumber has been updated to it’s latest version
    • Additional handhelds have had input support added to them or improved, from manufacturers including:
      • ASUS.
      • AYN.
      • Ayaneo.
      • GPD.
      • KONKR.
      • OneXPlayer.
    • As a reminder, if you’re having issues with desktop control you can resolve it by opening Steam on the desktop and browsing to Settings -> Controller -> Show Advanced Settings -> Desktop Layout
      • We recommend binding X to open keyboard, setting up joystick mouse, and binding your triggers to left/right mouse buttons.
  • Linux Kernel 7.2.3.
  • OpenRazer is now packaged in Terra and the install command for it will automatically remove the old repo when ran.

For anyone still experiencing problems with Bazzite and/or wants HHD back, there is Anatase. You can even rebase from Bazzite to Anatase. So far it seems like a one man show but the dev has been very active and has been fixing a good deal of all the issues that have been reported.
