Basic Question regarding Updates
Hi Bazzite community,
I'm brand new to Bazzite and Linux in general. I've been experimenting with different distros and instantly felt at home with Bazzite. I started with KDE and enjoyed the customization, but ultimately preferred GNOME.
I'm running into an issue with software updates in GNOME. In KDE, I used "Discover" to manually check for and apply updates. However, in GNOME's "Software" app, I don't see any manual update options, and I haven't received any update notifications.
Here's my specific question:
- How are software updates handled in Bazzite GNOME's "Software" app?
- Why are automatic updates disabled in the settings, and how can I manage updates manually?
Thanks for your patience and help! 🙏

Bazzite uses topgrade for the updates, which updates the image, the flatpaks, distrobox, brew etc. You can kick it off manually by running the "system update" application in the menu,
ujust update in the terminal or it will run automatically every couple of hours if you on the desktop images. You can turn off the autoupdates updates with ujust toggle-updates terminal command.
More information in the Bazzite docs https://docs.bazzite.gg/Installing_and_Managing_Software/Updates_Rollbacks_and_Rebasing/updating_guide/Thank you very much. That's great!
Can i see a history of updates pakages somwhere?
I enabled notifications through ublue-update.toml for now.
ujust changelogs gives you quite a bit that changed from a bazzite github project perspective. Else rpm-ostree db diff gives you the packages that have changed
