This release comes after the Bazzite-deck image release was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techpowerup.com\/348636\/bazzite-staggers-fedora-44-roll-out-desktops-first-handheld-users-to-wait\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">delayed in late-April due to further development work being needed<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>For starters, Bazzite 44 switches away from Handheld Daemon (HHD) for input remapping and controller handling. Instead, the distro now uses InputPlumber for controller support, emulation, and remapping. Other HHD features, like TDP control, will be managed in Bazzite 44 by SteamOS-Manager or PowerStation for devices that don&#8217;t support SteamOS-Manager.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techpowerup.com\/img\/hyIdFxM4a7iUd9Ub.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" data-width=\"1751\" data-height=\"960\" data-fancybox=\"g351814\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/hyIdFxM4a7iUd9Ub_thm.jpg\" width=\"237\" height=\"130\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a> For the time being, there does not seem to be a way to control TDP of devices like the Legion Go in desktop mode, and the Legion Go specifically will lose gyro support until an update is shipped to fix that. Some DeckyLoader plugins that were temporarily incompatible are now once again usable under Bazzite, and Game Mode now integrates Bazzite updates, and there is a new desktop mode GUI for Bazzite updates and the Bazzite Portal.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.techpowerup.com\/img\/1kYjRhscCNnwGoW6.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" data-width=\"1012\" data-height=\"780\" data-fancybox=\"g351814\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1kYjRhscCNnwGoW6_thm.jpg\" width=\"169\" height=\"130\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techpowerup.com\/img\/Ca5CMzjNmOUxzr4l.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" data-width=\"905\" data-height=\"650\" data-fancybox=\"g351814\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Ca5CMzjNmOUxzr4l_thm.jpg\" width=\"181\" height=\"130\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a> It&#8217;s also noted in the update notes that some devices from ASUS and Ayn have lost RGB controls due to the incorrect controller being emulated, and some devices have lost fan control, but a patch is already in the works to correct both regressions.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.techpowerup.com\/img\/bTzaRB3wJ7e1v60h.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" data-width=\"481\" data-height=\"952\" data-fancybox=\"g351814\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/bTzaRB3wJ7e1v60h_thm.jpg\" width=\"66\" height=\"130\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techpowerup.com\/img\/9D2jjEofi1HHCE30.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" data-width=\"720\" data-height=\"960\" data-fancybox=\"g351814\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/9D2jjEofi1HHCE30_thm.jpg\" width=\"98\" height=\"130\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The development team of Bazzite, the immutable, gaming-focussed Linux distribution based on Fedora Silverblue, has just announced the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":592059,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[85,46,125],"class_list":["post-592058","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/592058","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=592058"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/592058\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/592059"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=592058"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=592058"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=592058"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
