Bazzite 44.20260713 lands on the stable branch with a full kernel generation bump, moving from Linux 7.0.9 to 7.1.3. The update also pulls in refreshed GPU drivers across the board: Mesa moves to 26.1.4, Nvidia Open to 610.43.03, and Nvidia LTS to 580.173.02. For VR users, OpenXR ticks up to 1.1.61, and Gamescope, the SteamOS compositor that powers Bazzite's console mode, picks up a new build.
The Wayland stack gets a notable upgrade with libwayland-client jumping from 1.24 to 1.25, alongside PipeWire 1.6.8 and SDL3 3.4.12. Game input handling sees movement too: steam-devices udev rules are refreshed, input-remapper hits 2.2.1, and Solaar (the Logitech device manager) updates to 1.1.20. A new kmod-openrazer package appears for the first time, bringing kernel-level Razer peripheral support into the image.
KDE Plasma moves to 6.7.2 and gains the classic Oxygen icon theme as a default inclusion, while the GNOME images stay on 50.3 with updated Blur my Shell extension builds and an X.Org server bump to 21.1.24. The KDE side also picks up broader input method coverage through fcitx5-table-extra and a sweep of fcitx5 component updates. Elsewhere in the package list, ffmpeg 8.1.2, git 2.55.0, tmux 3.7b, Podman 5.8.4, and Tailscale 1.98.8 round out a broad set of userland refreshes.
