   It's too bad Bazzite isn't reporting as its own unique distro. I hope that changes because it would be awesome to track its growth. I mean, they had DAY ONE support for the ROG Ally X, and all told it's a fantastic Fedora-based distro especially for handhelds.

   I'm also surprised to see Pop OS declining this much in gaming marketshare.

     @ahoneybun Perhaps I should have said "Disappointed" and not "Surprised." Pop and Proton are what got me so excited about gaming on Linux circa 2018-2020.

     (Has it really been a few years since a new release? That indeed does explain it)

     @Linux4Everyone I mean there has not been a new release in a few years so that is kinda expected.

     @ahoneybun Heck, with that many core elements being updated, it's effectively still fresh. But I think we Linux gamers are just attracted to what's new and shiny.

     @Linux4Everyone last release was 22.04 so 2022 but kernel, mesa, NVIDIA and other core packages are updated to keep it fresh plus flatpaks being available.
