NVIDIA Driver Update on Bazzite #3943
Description
Hello Bazzite team,
I noticed that the NVIDIA driver version included in the latest image is still 580.95.05 (released September 30, 2025), while NVIDIA has since released several newer versions:
580.105.08 (November 4, 2025)
580.119.02 (December 11, 2025)
590.48.01 (December 18, 2025)
580.126.09 (January 13, 2026)
These updates primarily include bug fixes, improved compatibility with recent Linux kernels, and display/HDMI/VRR corrections, which enhance system stability and reliability.
Is there a particular reason why Bazzite does not update the NVIDIA drivers more quickly? Is this planned for an upcoming release?
Thank you very much for your work on Bazzite, it’s really appreciated to have a gaming-focused distribution that is so well optimized.
Best regards
