Bazzite, the Fedora-based gaming Linux distribution, has released unstable build 43.20260325 with updated core components for gaming performance. The release ships with Linux kernel 6.19.8-200.ogc, Mesa 26.0.3-1 graphics drivers, and Gamescope compositor version 136.b6a368af-1.
The update includes desktop environment updates with GNOME 49.6-1 and KDE Plasma 6.6.3-1, alongside Nvidia driver options including the open-source 595.45.04-4 and LTS 580.142-1 versions. Gaming-specific components see incremental updates, with OpenGamepadUI reaching 0.44.3-1 and InputPlumber at 0.75.2-1 for controller input handling.
This unstable release includes several maintenance improvements, notably fixing SELinux warnings by disabling the iSCSI NetworkManager dispatch script and adding user warnings for potential installation errors. Users on the unstable branch can rebase to the new version using the bazzite-rollback-helper rebase unstable command.
