bazzite is an atomic distro which means it makes 2 “save points”(current and previous) everytime you update and you can roll back if something goes wrong in the new update your data will be all fine and up to date but the version will roll back if you pick 1 if only 1 boots it means that the new version is broken in some way because that’s the previous version Answer from Cr0w_town on reddit.com

r/Bazzite on Reddit: Why is there 2 OStrees? And how do I get it to boot from the right one?
November 20, 2025 -
So I recently switched to bazzite from windows 10, because fuck windows 11.
For a couple weeks everything worked just fine.
But recently it's started doing this on the post screen, and when it attempts to boot from the first one (ostree:0), it just loads endlessly and never actually makes it to the OS. If I tell it to boot from the second one (ostree:1) then it actually boots properly.
How do I make it do this automatically like it was already doing when I first installed the OS? I don't even know why it started doing this to begin with.
It's really annoying because this laptop is in my living room connected to my tv. So every time I have to manually tell it what to boot with before I can go sit down to actually use it.

That’s how atomic desktops work. The older version is kept just in case the newer does not work so that you always have a functioning PC. The 0 option is your most up to date desktop. Edit from Gemini: "Ah, I see! Since ostree:0 (the latest update) is hanging and not booting, you need to officially roll back so the system treats the working version as the default again. Boot into the working option (ostree:1). Open your terminal (PTY). Type rpm-ostree rollback and hit Enter. Wait for it to finish, then reboot. This command effectively swaps them, making the working version your new default so you don't have to grab the keyboard every time you turn on the TV."

r/Bazzite on Reddit: Why do these OStree options pop up everytime I start up my system?
August 27, 2024 - I always have to click fast the keyboard to select the second one, ostree:1, the one that works. It's a little bit annoying and I don't know hot to change that. Thank you! ... It's supposed to be there by default as confirmed by the devs, but if you want to hide it for a cleaner experience: Just open up the terminal app in desktop mode and type this: ... Tried that. It still shows for me ... That was pathetically easy to install - thanks Bazzite team and this sub.

March 9, 2025 -
Since last ujust update my ostree 0 is not working and i have to enter grub every time to select the ostree 1 to boot.
I use a nvidia gpu 3070 and an amd ryzen cpu.
Have someone a potential solution for my Problem.
When i boot into ostree 0 i have this screens. I can still type my password blind and hear that it accepts then it switches to the second screen. It seems like a plasma issue maybe? But i dont know how to resolve it. Maybe it is also just a nvidia problem.
Thanks for taking your time reading my issue. :)

Boot ostree 1. Open the terminal run rpm-ostree rollback this swap ostree 0 and ostree 1 around. Then you want to temporarily disable auto updates with ujust toggle-updates disable. You can update manually with ujust update. If the issue occurs again repeat the above steps. Once you have stable manual update again, run ujust toggle-updates enable to turn the auto updates on again.

Can't boot to bazzite (booting to ostree0 instead of ostree1)
December 20, 2024 - I think it's related to fedora's way of updating ? after a "ujust update" I rebooted my computer and now it boot without going to bazzite. after a while the screen just stay black and I'm stuck. I somehow had access to what I found to be grub os selection with 2 options. - boot to bazzite (ostree0) - boot to bazzite (ostree1) By default the grub thing seems to boot to bazzite 0 (the one with black screen).

Bazzite/Aurora – Advanced rpm-ostree – Encyclopedia of Daniel
The simple commands are rpm-ostree update or rpm-ostree upgrade to update your system. rpm-ostree rollback to rollback, and rpm-ostree status to check the status. These commands are honestly more than most people will use, because they’ll get into the computer, open whatever programs, and that’s it. Most people really don’t need to muck around with the internal workings of the OS, or install weird dependencies. A lot of people have Bazzite installed on their gaming handhelds, and don’t need to touch the command line.

Install Fedora Linux packages on top of the existing Bazzite image by using the rpm-ostree terminal command. Use for packages that cannot be installed from Homebrew or ran inside of a container. Layered packages can break system upgrades until removed due to dependency issues since the package will have to be updated with the rest of the image.

December 9, 2025 - Bazzite has three channels for its images: stable, testing, and unstable. Stable is, of course, the one that's recommended for most users. The testing image has, as one might expect, changes that are expected to land in the stable branch at some point. The unstable image is described as a "playground for developers/contributors" and not recommended. Users can switch between the different channels by rebasing with rpm-ostree.
