All the apps

One portal for every app

The portal installs, opens, updates and removes the apps. Each app is a tile: click its icon to open it, and use the buttons beside it to install or uninstall. A red dot shows an update. Apps that change the board are marked, and the portal asks before it installs or opens them.

About the portal

Get started

Ready to set up your BC-250 board? Download the latest portal release on the board, check it with SHA256 and run its installer. It installs BC-250 Bazzite Test with it, every other app installs from the portal.

FAQ

Do the apps change my board?

Only the apps marked changes the board: the unlocks, the GPU governor, GPU overclocking, the ACPI override, the VRAM split and the patched GPU drivers. They are software-only and can be undone, and the portal asks before it installs or opens them. BC-250 Bazzite Test and BIOS Reader only read.

How do I undo a change?

In the app that made it: each of these apps has an Uninstall, Remove or Undo. Uninstalling an app does not undo what it changed on the board, so undo that first. What stays after an uninstall lists each app and how to undo it.

Do the apps change Bazzite's own driver?

No. ACE Queues and Mesh Shaders build their RADV beside the system Mesa, which stays as it is, and games use it only when you say so. Bazzite's own packages and their updates are Bazzite's.

Do I have to install the apps one by one?

No. Install the portal; it installs, updates and removes the apps, each from a tested release that it checks before it unpacks it. See Install.

Does it work on other boards or systems?

The suite is made and tested for the AMD BC-250 running Bazzite.

How do I check a download?

Every release comes with a SHA256SUMS file: run sha256sum --check --ignore-missing SHA256SUMS before you install. See the security policy.

Is it open source?

Yes. The code of every app is on GitHub, under the licenses below.

What does the suite know about me?

Nothing it sends anywhere: no accounts, statistics or crash reports. What goes over the network, and when, is on the Privacy page.

Where do I get help?

Open an issue on GitHub. For a security problem, use Security → Report a vulnerability instead, as the security policy says.
