Bazzite, the Fedora-based gaming distribution designed for handheld consoles and gaming PCs, rolled out its unstable-43.20260322 release with substantial updates across its core components. The update brings Linux kernel 6.19.8-200.ogc, Mesa 26.0.3-1 for graphics drivers, and Gamescope 136.b6a368af-1 for its gaming compositor stack.
The desktop environment options remain current with GNOME 49.5-1 and KDE Plasma 6.6.3-1, while Nvidia users get access to the latest open-source driver version 595.45.04-4 and the LTS driver at 580.142-1. Bazzite's gaming-focused tools also saw updates, including InputPlumber 0.75.2-1 for input device management, OpenGamepadUI 0.44.3-1 for the gamepad interface, and PowerStation 0.8.1-1 for power management.
The changelog also reveals maintenance updates to btrfs-progs (6.19.1-1), libell (0.83-1), and tzdata (2026a-1), along with bug fixes for the live ISO environment and CI improvements. KDE images notably dropped the openh264 codec package. Current Bazzite users can rebase to this version using the bazzite-rollback-helper tool with the command rebase unstable-43.20260322.
