Bazzite just released stable build 44.20260915, the daily Linux gaming distro's latest image built on Fedora's atomic desktops. The biggest change is UMU Launcher shipping for the first time, giving non-Steam Windows games a first-class launch path that shares Proton fixes without needing Steam. Bazzite also turned Wi-Fi power saving off by default to cut wireless latency, though you can still flip it back on inside Steam Gaming Mode. Beyond those two, the build bumps GNOME to 50.4, KDE Plasma to 6.7.5, and a handful of gaming packages, existing users can rebase in place via bazzite-rollback-helper.
