Steam On Linux Gaming Finally Cracks 3% For October 2025 (www.phoronix.com)

Steam on Linux use has hit an all-time high! With the Steam Survey results for October 2025 coming out this evening, Steam on Linux has finally cracked the 3% threshold! A few months back Steam on Linux was close to 3% before stumbling a bit but now it's above that elusive threshold. The only time Steam on Linux use was close to the 3% mark was when Steam on Linux initially debuted a decade ago and at that time the overall Steam user-base was much smaller than it is today. Long story short, thanks to the ongoing success of Valve's Steam Deck and other handhelds plus Steam Play (Proton) working out so well, these October numbers are the best yet.

Extensions are third party, meaning if they are broken you need to complain to the extension developer. If you want to use extensions on GNOME i recommend keeping to the popular ones (dock, justperfection...) as they are regularly updated, and to hold off from upgrading GNOME asap to give the extension developers time to update.

The thing about customizing is that it's never free, someone has to write in the feature and someone has to keep it up to date, which is why GNOME delegates a lot of its customization to third parties allowing a more stable experience and faster development.

I think the problem you have with GNOME is more about you refusing to learn new ways to interact with your pc and instead trying to mold GNOME into what you think the desktop experience should be, and that's always going to be an uphill battle.
