PSA: If you use Bazzite on your deck, you need to do a manual fix to get updates (www.gamingonlinux.com)

Bazzite is an alternative OS to SteamOS for the deck and other handheld PCs. Unfortunately due to a mistake, anyone who installed Bazzite before July 3rd 2024 won't get automatic updates.

If this affects you, I'd suggest checking out the article to get instructions on fixing it.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Bazzite, the popular version of Linux powered by Fedora and Universal Blue that's great for handhelds including the Steam Deck, ASUS ROG Ally, Lenovo Legion Go and others needs a little manual user effort after a bit of human error.

Developer Jorge O. Castro noted in a forum post how they "were rotating our cosign keypairs this morning, which is the method that we use to sign our images" and unfortunately they "made a critical error which has resulted in forcing you to take manual steps to migrate to our newly signed images".

They have a script set up that you can run that will fix the problem, so all you have to do is run this in a terminal app (code source):

curl -sL https://fix.universal-blue.org/ | sudo bash

To ensure it doesn't ever happen again, they've noted some process changes to be implemented.

See all the details in the forum post announcement.
