Bazzite is a custom image built upon Fedora Atomic Desktops that brings the best of Linux gaming to all of your devices – including your favorite handheld.
Bazzite is designed for Linux newcomers and enthusiasts alike with Steam pre-installed, HDR & VRR support, improved CPU schedulers for responsive gameplay, and numerous community-developed tools and tweaks to streamline your gaming and streaming experience.
Bazzite is Atomic meaning that after every update the previous version of the operating system is retained on your machine. Images of the operating system are retained in repositories for ninety days and can be switched to via the terminal. Nvidia driver update broke something you needed? No worries, rebase to the last known good release and pin it so that it’s retained as long as needed.
Experience enterprise class security with out-of-the-box SELinux, Secure Boot support, and LUKS full disk encryption with optional TPM unlocking.
Built in container support means packages for any Linux distribution can be installed and used as if they were native applications. The included Ptyxis terminal and BoxBuddy app provide first-class access to your Distrobox containers, letting you focus on what matters – your software.

What's a Linux distribution ("distro")? |
| A distro provides the user with a desktop environment, preloaded applications, and ways to update and maintain the system. Each distro makes different choices, deciding which open source projects to install and provides custom written programs. They can have different philosophies. Some distros are intended for desktop computers, some for servers without a graphical interface, and others for special uses. Because Linux is an open source operating system, combinations of software vary between Linux distros. |
