Linux appears to largely be done with the transition to the modern tech stack (wayland/Pipewire) and can now focus on getting more features. Packaging hasn’t improved (flatpaks largely stagnated, snaps barely evolved and kept the same issues, so did app images and system packages. On the gaming front, while steamOS has gained users, market share is still somewhat anemic, and support for multiplayer games is now worse than before.
