Bazzite gets a big update with KDE Plasma 6.6, Mesa 26.0.1 and more (www.gamingonlinux.com)

Bazzite has a big new update available for your PC gaming handhelds and desktops with some major packaging upgrades to play with.

Unfortunately though, the initial roll-out came with a major problem. The 43.20260302 version had a bug that could cause "100% disk usage on gamemode specific images", but they've already rolled out 43.20260303 that fixes the problem.

I got a separate little laptop for work/school and am thinking of switching my main gaming laptop I used to use to a distro such as Bazzite. Does Bazzite have good Nvidia support and do they have a good track record with testing updates? I don't want my graphics card to suddenly stop working after an update as it likes to on Kubuntu.

Yes, although nobody is perfect so it's always a possibility. The difference with Bazzite (and other immutable distros) is if it does happen, all you need to do is reboot and choose the previous version in grub. It'll be like the update never happened, no need to look up or run any magic commands.

Then you just wait until they fix it before updating again.

Wow that sounds great! I've seen that feature on Fedora. If problems are rare and I can roll back that easily then its perfect.

I've only got one system running it for now, but it has worked well for my 1080ti system. There are usually hiccups with Linux, but they've been small ones so far. Nothing worse than what happens on windows. And yeah it's got a rollback system by default.

As long as the GPU acceleration keeps working so I can play games when I want to, I'll be happy!
