Linux has had a lot going on this week.
Colorado’s governor signed the SB26-051 age verification bill into law with its exemption for open-source, while Linux usage on Steam is down a little over one percent from April’s peak.
Microsoft launched Coreutils for Windows. Phoronix reports that Linux 7.2 will be able to boot on M3 Macs and will include support for HDMI 2.1 FRL on AMD GPUs. Plus, 2026’s best game (so far) has native Linux support!
