I recently switched from Windows to Bazzite and I'm still learning how hardware updates work on Linux. My system has an Intel CPU and an Intel Arc A750 GPU. On Windows, I used Intel's software tools to update drivers and manage the graphics card, but I can't find equivalent utilities for Bazzite. Do I need to install anything or manually update the CPU and GPU drivers, and if so, what is the correct process?

You generally don’t update Intel drivers manually on Bazzite. The kernel, graphics drivers, Mesa components, and relevant firmware are delivered through the normal Bazzite system updates. Just update the system as usual and reboot when prompted.
If you want to check which driver is being used, you can run `lspci -nnk | grep -i drv` in a terminal. For gaming, the Mesa and OpenGL components are also updated through the operating system rather than through a Windows-style driver assistant.
Intel Arc support is built into the Linux kernel and graphics stack used by Bazzite, so there isn’t a separate Intel control utility you need to install. Bazzite’s image updates are tested as a complete package, including the kernel and drivers.
