Its a point release, so that’s to be expected.

They also updated to kernel 6.14 and updated mesa to 25.0.7, which means for people like me with a Radeon 9060 XT, it’s no longer necessary to use a PPA for updated mesa.

Linux gaming users are in the tens of millions of people. It’s not like this is some super tiny community. There are more Linux gamers than macOS gamers by around double.

About two years ago Linux gaming market share was hovering below 2%. Now it’s over 4%.

Yeah…it’s smaller than Windows by A LOT, but it’s continuing to grow every single month on the Steam Hardware Survey. With Proton, SteamOS/Bazzite, and the Deck Verified program, Linux gaming has gone from “this sucks” to “this works unless there is kernel anti-cheat”.

Linux has doubled its market share in the last couple years and is on an exponential growth curve right now. Valve’s push for Proton and Steam Deck has changed a lot.

Also, if Linux-based, non-Android phones or tablets became fully functional and feature complete, there would absolutely be a good number of people who would switch. I’d be one of them.

It’s almost like corporations don’t give AF and will burn society down for a few bucks.
