Bazzite Linux 44.20261006.1 was released on October 6th, featuring a kernel bump from ogc4 to ogc5 while maintaining the Nvidia LTS kernel at 6.18.52-ogc1.1.

This release is primarily maintenance-focused, with no other major changes in software packages, while existing users have the option to roll forward or back using the bazzite-rollback-helper. The ongoing development indicates that Bazzite is expanding its support for various handheld devices beyond the Steam Deck
