Bazzite 44.20260928 lands this week with a set of changes aimed squarely at Linux handheld gamers: the Anbernic Win600 is now an officially supported device, hibernation is enabled for devices that need it, and a new acpid integration watches for sleep and hibernation events on deck-based images. CEC input mapping also arrives for deck images, letting HTPC setups control the Steam interface through a TV remote.
The main kernel jumps from 7.2.4-ogc3.1 to 7.2.7-ogc1.1, while the Nvidia LTS kernel moves to 6.18.52-ogc1.1. Nvidia users also get a dedicated waydroid-nvidia package for running Android apps through Waydroid with full compatibility. Gamescope ticks up to 3.16.29, and the Sunshine game streaming just recipes have been refactored to default to Homebrew's stable channel now that it supports XDG paths.
One change that will be immediately noticeable: ms-edit, Microsoft's open-source terminal text editor, replaces vim as the default editor. The rationale is pragmatic. ms-edit offers a familiar menu-driven interface that works well on both desktop and handheld screens. Vim remains installed and available for those who prefer it.
Elsewhere in the update, a udev rule fix disables the d3cold power state on Intel AX200 and AX210 WiFi cards to address suspend-related connectivity issues, and a module blacklist for hid_logitech ensures the new-lg4ff driver loads correctly for Logitech racing wheels. The ddcutil package has been replaced by terra-ddcutil, and cardwire now permits non-admin users via a DBus policy override. Existing users can rebase with bazzite-rollback-helper rebase 44.20260928.
