From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I rebased my laptop install to bazzite-dx yesterday and for some reason, the stable branch installed a testing image (testing-44.20260802) instead of the latest stable image (stable-44.20260802). I pinned to the latest stable for now but does anyone know why bazzite rebase helper would do this?

Edit: I just checked the release info again since that was last night for me, and it just installed the same image again. Rebasing via rpm-ostree pulls the same image too. I’m gonna rebase back to normal bazzite for now and check to see if this also happened to my desktop I switched a couple weeks ago

Edit 2: Yep, my desktop was also on a test image. I wouldn’t have even thought to check if the test image wasn’t locking up my laptop. Until now bazzite has been so stable for me, now I’m wishing I left my desktop on fedora as a backup in case something like that happens again

Is it not letting you rebase to stable?

rpm-ostree rebase ostree-unverified-registry:ghcr.io/ublue-os/bazzite:stable

Rebasing to normal Bazzite worked fine, but for some reason rebasing on Bazzite-DX, even when picking a specific stable image, would pull the testing image from the same day every time

Oh, I see. From the bug reports posted, it looks like the -dx image is based on the bazzite deck 44 image for some reason, which isn't out of testing yet. ~~If that's deliberate it's an odd choice~~. The new deck 44 image should be updated to stable soon.

edit: Further reading indicates it's based on the deck image so that they don't have to maintain two different dx versions.
