Probably as I've got a bit of bundle overload and stuff just gets missed...

There is no LTS (long term support) version of Mesa. Each release gets a few point releases, then they entirely move onto the next version.

Either they're still going to support them this time, or they completely forgot to update their own documentation on it for Linux.

No, you'll need Proton.

Quoting: amataiThat's like 4 millions monthly active users. That's too low to make Linux a primary target, but hopefully too high to be dismissed.

And as the Steam Deck sold around 4 millions units and is at 1 million monthly active users, we can extrapolate to 16 millions total Steam Linux user base, which is bigger than Wii U.

That number is massively out of date. We haven't been given a new overall monthly active for years, and since Steam has grown massively - the Linux number is probably more like 8-9 million total.

Oh that's weird, the timing on it is after the article - but it was definitely there before because that's why I wrote the article. Just GitHub things 🤷

Not entirely sure what you're trying to say, the release is tagged and available right now [External Link].

We’ve long covered open source, even if it is not very specifically for Linux as it should still be celebrated. Just because it requires something right now, doesn’t mean it always will. That’s the big benefit of open source, someone can now make it properly run directly on Linux if they really wanted to. There’s many angles to it, we don’t need to be so militant and static on every single thing being direct for Linux at every point in time.

The mesa update was this one: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2025-82b66363b4 [External Link] (it's linked in the chatter link in the article inside the forum post).

It has multiple people saying it was broken, and was still pushed out.
