The holiday season is approaching, and GamingOnLinux will enter its customary holiday break to allow its team to spend time with family.
The past year has been remarkably eventful for Linux gaming and the broader industry. Significant advancements have been made in open source, with Linux player numbers reaching new peaks on Steam. Additionally, the new Steam Machine and Steam Frame, running SteamOS, are set to launch next year. The upcoming year promises to be incredibly exciting, and the ability to provide daily coverage is made possible by all supporters. However, challenges such as generative AI concerns and hardware price increases are also present, suggesting a difficult period ahead in those areas.
Throughout 2025, GamingOnLinux published over 2,300 articles, encompassing general news, reviews, editorials, and guides. The platform’s objective remains consistent: to offer fresh, non-clickbait content every weekday.
To support GamingOnLinux’s ongoing operations, monthly contributions via Patreon are highly effective. In an era of growing paywalls, AI content scraping, and search engine AI developments that may reduce traffic to independent sites, direct support is crucial for the platform’s sustainability.
