The Kernel drama isn't over, Gaming is just better on Linux, and driver performance is getting better in a FineWine sort of way. KDE is rolling ahead, getting closer to session restore in Wayland, doing accessibility work, and making HDR even better. Speaking of which, Blender has a preview of HDR support on Wayland, with no immediate plans to add support on Windows. Canonical had a great year in 2025, and more!
