Built for Rapid Upstream Delivery
Rolling releases with upstream tracking bring new RISC-V features and fixes to you sooner—less waiting, less rework.
Built for RISC-V Developers
Stay close to upstream to reduce backports and forks. Easier reproduction, faster debugging, smoother upstream contributions.
Built for Early Validation
Surfaces firmware, platform semantics, and Linux interoperability issues early—so vendors fix faster, reduce divergence, and reach mainstream OS compatibility sooner.
I knew something smelled fishy about Bazzite and friends. It went from being completely unheard of to every Youtuber’s favorite distro damn near overnight and I was left scratching my head as to why. Like, I get it’s nice to have the NVidia drivers baked into the base image, but the fact that they have to do that at all seems like an argument in favor of a more traditional distro for gaming to me.
