Bazzite Linux has officially released version 43.20260101, introducing a range of updates and enhancements to the operating system. Key improvements include updates to core packages such as the kernel, which has been upgraded to version 6.17.7-ba22, alongside refreshed firmware and Mesa versions at 20251125-1 and 25.3.1-2, respectively.
This release also includes notable updates to essential applications, with Gamescope now at version ba147-1.bazzite and Bazaar updated to 0.7.0-1. Ptyxis has undergone significant revisions, currently standing at 49.2-1. The desktop environments have not been left behind; Gnome has been updated to 49.2.2-1, while KDE is now at version 6.5.4-2. For Nvidia users, the release brings driver updates for both newer and long-term support (LTS) graphics cards, specifically versions 590.44.01-1 and 580.95.05-1.
The development team has also been active, with developers Zeglius, Bradley Bellairs, and Andy Lee contributing crucial fixes. Zeglius addressed a bug affecting liveiso builds that hindered Nvidia graphics initialization. Meanwhile, Bellairs and Lee collaborated on complex Containerfile setups and corrected a minor typo in the iwd wireless configuration.
In addition to these updates, several system components have received version bumps, including xapp-symbolic-icons (1.0.7-1), ibus-m17n (1.4.36-2), leptonica (5.3.1-2), libnbd, passt, python3-olefile, and tesseract-common. Gnome and KDE have also seen minor enhancements, with Assimp updated to 6.0.2-5 and xdg-user-dirs-gtk reaching version 0.16-1.
For users interested in obtaining these updates, the process is straightforward. Simply run the command `bazzite-rollback-helper rebase stable` if your setup is pointing to the latest branch, or use `bazzite-rollback-helper rebase 43.20260101` to specify the build number directly. Alternatively, users can download the Bazzite Linux ISO files from the official website.
Looking ahead, the Bazzite Linux team seems poised for continued innovation, with future releases likely to focus on further enhancing system stability, user experience, and performance, while integrating feedback from the community to address any emerging issues
