NVIDIA Availability

NVIDIA driver versions are only listed in NVIDIA-specific image variants. Non-NVIDIA images do not include kmod-nvidia packages. The most recent releases include NVIDIA driver 580.95.05-1 across all channels.

How to Switch to a Specific Version​

To switch to any of these versions, use the bootc switch command with signature enforcement based on @bootc-dev/bootc:

Bluefin Stream​

# Get your current image name
IMAGE_NAME=$(jq -r '."image-name"' < /usr/share/ublue-os/image-info.json)

# Switch to latest stable (currently stable-20251012)
sudo bootc switch --enforce-container-sigpolicy ghcr.io/ublue-os/$IMAGE_NAME:stable

# Switch to a specific stable version
sudo bootc switch --enforce-container-sigpolicy ghcr.io/ublue-os/$IMAGE_NAME:stable-20251012

# Switch to an older stable version (e.g., stable-20250928)
sudo bootc switch --enforce-container-sigpolicy ghcr.io/ublue-os/$IMAGE_NAME:stable-20250928

# Reboot to apply changes
sudo systemctl reboot

Bluefin GTS Stream​

# Get your current image name
IMAGE_NAME=$(jq -r '."image-name"' < /usr/share/ublue-os/image-info.json)

# Switch to latest GTS
sudo bootc switch --enforce-container-sigpolicy ghcr.io/ublue-os/$IMAGE_NAME:gts

# Switch to a specific GTS version
sudo bootc switch --enforce-container-sigpolicy ghcr.io/ublue-os/$IMAGE_NAME:gts-20251012

# Reboot to apply changes
sudo systemctl reboot

Bluefin LTS Stream​

# Get your current image name
IMAGE_NAME=$(jq -r '."image-name"' < /usr/share/ublue-os/image-info.json)

# Switch to latest LTS
sudo bootc switch --enforce-container-sigpolicy ghcr.io/ublue-os/$IMAGE_NAME:lts

# Switch to a specific LTS version
sudo bootc switch --enforce-container-sigpolicy ghcr.io/ublue-os/$IMAGE_NAME:lts.20251006

# Reboot to apply changes
sudo systemctl reboot
Finding Your Current Version

Check your current Bluefin version with:

bootc status
Signature Enforcement

The --enforce-container-sigpolicy flag ensures you're always running a signed image, maintaining security and integrity of your system.

Testing & Rollback Strategy​

For Users Testing Driver Issues​

  1. Identify the suspected problematic version from the table above
  2. Switch to the previous stable version using bootc switch
  3. Test your specific use case (desktop performance, hardware compatibility, etc.)
  4. Report findings in the @ublue-os/bluefin issue tracker with specific version numbers
