    Incorrect, we’ve supported Nvidia for the lifespan of the project.

    You are pointing to gamemode issues only, which is out of our control. Desktop images work without caveat.

    This is not a unique position to Bazzite.

      Nice glossing over the fact that Nvidia drivers are in beta and Bazzite specifically supported AMD hardware.

      Let’s be honest people use Bazzite to play games, it doesn’t work right on Nvidia still.

      You are correct, Nvidia sucks on Linux nowadays.

        Nvidia drivers are not in beta, we use the latest stable for all nvidia releases. Only gamemode images are considered beta for reasons outside of our control.

        We never specifically supported only AMD hardware.

        I’m not sure why you think you can tell the founder of the project it’s history. You might want to rethink what you’re doing a bit.

          Bazzite had an official beta program for NVIDIA support in early 2025, but it has since been integrated and is considered a major feature, though still noted as having more caveats than AMD support.

          You are clearly trying to mislead about Bazzite’s ability to work with Nividia. The guy I was discussing this with is feeling the pain. Constantly having to plug and unplug his monitor, no HDR support, etc.

          If you want to fix this problem go talk to him not the guy who is pointing out your Nvidia support is not up to par.

          After talking with you I am no longer going to recommend Bazzite like I used to. Congratulations!

            Incorrect, we never put Nvidia in a beta program other than labeling game mode images as beta for, again, problems outside of our control.

            That’s fine, if your idea of support is AI hallucinations and actively lying to people I’d appreciate it if you never spoke of the project again.

            Thanks

              Message from the actual maintainers of Bazzite in Jan 2025.

              As of today, bazzite-deck-nvidia is now available as a beta thanks to improvements in the latest Nvidia drivers. While this is very clearly not a stable experience everyone should jump on, this should at least give our users something to play with and a tool to help report the remaining bugs to Nvidia.
              Some important caveats:

              • Most bugs present here cannot be fixed by us, please do not report them to us if they’re already known issues. See our Discord and/or GitHub issue tracker.
              • This will not allow Nvidia eGPUs on handhelds. Due to issues caused by installing the Nvidia drivers this support most likely won’t come until NVK is ready to replace the proprietary driver.
              • Only nvidia-open will be supported by these images. That means no GTX 9xx or 10xx support.

              Let us know what you think!

                Gamemode image, exactly what I’ve been saying.

                Nvidia was never beta, only game mode images, again, for reasons outside of our control.
