Steam data says some players leave Windows for Linux in 2025

Steam data

Steam data from their surveys show that there has been a market share reduction for Windows, almost 1%, while the market share for Linux has increased by 1%. Yes, this is a very minor change for some, but imagine if this keeps going, what will Microsoft do to prevent the looming threat of Linux? We really don’t know, if anything, they would employ dirty tactics like they always did to scare people from using the objectively better system. Those who switched to Linux have discovered that their gaming capabilities have greatly increased, with massive FPS boosts in the 25% range. We at Infinite Start will tell you more.

Steam data shows Linux is better

This is truly the year of the Linux desktop, and no, this ain’t a meme. For those who remember the older days of Linux but don’t know what has been happening lately, they may think this is a crazy statement. The reality is that Linux has advanced so much lately that it has surpassed Windows in many aspects, there really is no reason to use Windows unless you are forced to, or you want to play some weird Live Service game that only bots play. The stability of the penguin operating system is definitely a thing to behold.

Steam data rarely lies, as the hardware survey is very comprehensive, add that to the fact that many play on a Steam Deck, and you get more people using Linux than ever before. If you have a Steam Deck, you are already a Linux user yourself, as Steam data represents that the Steam Deck belongs to the Linux family of systems. If you are interested in trying out the best operating system, it is free for everyone to do so, and there’s thousands of distributions to pick from, Linux Mint is my personal recommendation with AnduinOS on the side.

Playground Games Confirms 15-to-20 Hour Campaign for Fable Reboot ​Playground Games has confirmed that the upcoming Fable reboot will feature a mainline story lasting between 15 and 20 hours. Speaking during a group press session at Gamescom 2026, associate game director Will Kennedy outlined the scope of the project, stating that the central questline is paired with a similar 15-to-20-hour block of side quests and open-world exploration. Beyond authored content, the developers emphasized that the title’s simulation and life systems allow for indefinite play depending on player investment. Full coverage of the interview context can be found in Polygon’s developer Q&A. ​This targeted duration keeps the reboot in line with the structure of Lionhead Studios' original trilogy rather than the massive scale of modern role-playing games. The 2004 original averaged roughly 12.5 hours for its main path, while Fable II and Fable III clocked in at approximately 13 and 13.5 hours respectively. By keeping the core path concise, Playground Games appears focused on density and narrative pacing rather than padding out the experience with mandatory filler. ​Community reception to the announcement has leaned positive, particularly among veteran players who prefer tightly structured campaigns over 100-hour commitments. As discussed in a active Reddit community thread, many players welcomed the focused runtime, noting that the series' signature alignment shifts and choice-driven paths naturally encourage multiple playthroughs. ​The game’s optional activities will include property ownership, local employment, and dynamic NPC interactions, extending gameplay well past the main story credits. Following previous delays, Fable is scheduled to launch on February 23, 2027, for Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC.
