Matt Birchler ☛ My crazy 2026 prediction (it involves Linux)
I'm not saying 2026 will be "the year of Linux on the desktop," but it will be the year that people like me pull the trigger on a Linux installation on their gaming PC.
I just think there's been a years-long bubbling up of frustration among gamers about how terrible Windows is and how misaligned Microsoft seems to be with their needs. Today there are options, and you could install basically any Linux distro and cobble together a gaming setup that works reasonably well, but it's more work and clunkiness than most people are willing to deal with. All these people need is an easy-to-use, obvious place to go.

This Week in GNOME ☛ This Week in GNOME: #228 Midnight Edition
Update on what happened across the GNOME project in the weeks from November 28 to December 12.
[...]
Bazaar 0.60 brought some pretty cool updates. Kolunmi implemented caching for most core data, allowing for way faster cold startups. We also made the experience around verification better. You can now see the badges next to most places where apps are shown, and added popovers to explain better what verification means. The filters have been upgraded to now work app wide, and we’ve ported the “We ♥ Games” section seen on the Flathub site.
