Bazzite Linux 45.20261105 was released on November 5, 2026, introducing support for Valve's upcoming Steam Machine and enhancing anti-cheat measures for Valve hardware. This update maintains most major packages from the previous build, with only the SteamOS-Manager receiving a version bump, emphasizing stability over flashy new features. The release follows a successful rebase to Fedora 45, which laid the groundwork for this new version, allowing smoother integration with Valve's gaming ecosystem. While this update may not be the most exciting, it signals a return to active development for Bazzite, particularly in its compatibility with Valve’s hardware and improved Nvidia support
Bazzite Linux 45.20261105 Adds Steam Machine Support, Restores Development on Fedora 45
Bazzite Linux 45.20261105 shipped on November 5, 2026, one day after a one-line housekeeping patch and two days after the project's first Fedora 45 stable build. The new image quietly adds detection for Valve's upcoming Steam Machine (codename "Fremont"), along with follow-up anti-cheat improvements for Valve hardware and Nvidia GPU passthrough for cooler-control containers. Its major packages are unchanged from the previous build, with SteamOS-Manager being the only real version bump. In short, the release trades flash for stability while pointing Bazzite toward Valve's living-room console and better Nvidia support.
