The increasingly interesting Bazzite Linux has a new release out, and it's a good one for handheld gaming fans so here's what's new in v2.4.0. Bazzite is an alternative operating system you can use supported across multiple handhelds like the Steam Deck, GPD devices, AYN devices, Lenovo Legion Go, ROG Ally and desktops too.

With the 2.4.0 release you'll find that it should work better on the ASUS Ally and Lenovo Legion Go, since they have a fix for recent suspend issues. On top of that the NVIDIA driver support got a nice version bump up to the 550 series bringing lots of fixes and improvements there too.

There's also the addition of CoolerControl, a GUI for viewing all your system's sensors and for creating custom fan and
pump profiles based on any available temperature sensor.

I just installed Bazzite on my GPD Win 4 and have been pretty happy with how well it works. There are a few minor issues (volume buttons currently don't work) and a few things that I know will likely never work(Fingerprint reader pretty much only works for Windows), but the extra performance and battery life I get in return more than make up for it.
I just installed ChimeraOS on a htpc. Would I have been better off with Bazzite?

Depends. How well off are you with ChimeraOS?
