Last updated: 9 November 2026
These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of bazzite.app (the "site"). By using the site you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site. The site provides information, guides and tools that help people understand and choose the Bazzite operating system; it does not distribute the operating system itself.
Purpose of the site
The site explains what Bazzite is, how its images differ, how installation and updates work, and how it compares with alternatives. Interactive elements such as the image finder and deployment simulator are educational aids. They simplify real behaviour to make it easier to understand and should not be treated as an authoritative statement of what any particular release supports.
Informational content only
All content is provided for general information. We work to keep it accurate and current, but operating systems, drivers, hardware support and third-party services change frequently, sometimes weekly. Version numbers, image names, supported devices and commands described on the site reflect our understanding at the time of writing and may become outdated. Before acting on any information, particularly when installing an operating system, changing firmware settings or partitioning drives, confirm it against the official Bazzite documentation and your hardware manufacturer's guidance.
Downloads and third-party software
We do not host Bazzite installation images. Download buttons and links on the site point to resources operated by the Bazzite project or other third parties, such as the official image picker, the official download server and the project's GitHub repository. Software obtained from those sources is provided by its respective authors under their own licences, including the Apache-2.0 licence for Bazzite's build recipes and separate licences for components such as the Steam client or graphics drivers. Your use of that software is governed by those licences and by the terms of the services that provide it, not by these terms.
The source archive linked from the site contains build recipes, not an installer. It is intended for people who want to study or build Bazzite images and is provided by its maintainers as-is.
Your responsibility when installing software
Installing an operating system can erase data, alter boot configuration and, in rare cases, leave a device temporarily unable to start. You are solely responsible for backing up your data, verifying downloads, choosing compatible software for your hardware and following installation steps correctly. We are not responsible for data loss, hardware issues, voided warranties, game account restrictions or any other consequences arising from installing or using Bazzite or any software referenced on the site.
Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- use the site in any way that breaks applicable law or regulation;
- attempt to gain unauthorised access to the site, its servers or related systems;
- interfere with the site's operation, including by overloading it with automated requests, scraping at a rate that degrades service, or introducing malicious code;
- reproduce the site's content in a way that misrepresents its source or suggests endorsement that does not exist;
- use the site to distribute modified or unofficial operating system images while presenting them as official.
Intellectual property
The text, page designs, illustrations and code of this site are protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. You may read, print and share links to pages for personal, non-commercial use. Short quotations with clear attribution and a link back to the source page are welcome. Any other reproduction, republication or commercial use requires our prior written permission.
Product names, logos and trademarks mentioned on the site, including Bazzite, Universal Blue, Fedora, Steam, SteamOS, KDE, GNOME, NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, ASUS, ROG, Lenovo and Legion, belong to their respective owners. Their use on the site is for identification and description only and does not imply any affiliation, sponsorship or endorsement. Illustrations of interfaces and devices on the site are original artwork created to explain concepts; they are not official screenshots or product photographs.
Links to other websites
The site links to external websites for documentation, downloads and community support. We provide these links for convenience and do not control their content, availability or practices. A link is not an endorsement of everything on the linked site, and we are not responsible for any loss arising from your use of external sites.
No warranties
The site and its content are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, completeness, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free or free of harmful components, or that any information on it is suitable for your specific hardware or circumstances.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, revenue, goodwill or hardware functionality, arising out of or in connection with your use of, or inability to use, the site or any information, tool or link on it. Where liability cannot be excluded by law, it is limited to the minimum extent permitted. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.
Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the operators of the site from any claims, losses or expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising from your breach of these terms or your misuse of the site.
Changes to the site
We may update, reorganise, suspend or discontinue any part of the site at any time without notice, including guides, tools and links. We are under no obligation to keep any specific content available.
Changes to these terms
We may revise these terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date shows the current version. Your continued use of the site after changes take effect means you accept the revised terms.
General
If any provision of these terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full effect. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later. These terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Disclaimer, form the entire agreement between you and us regarding the site.
