4 reasons why SteamOS is quietly winning over PC gamers — and why Windows won’t be dethroned any time soon

Windows 11 is versatile and meets user demands across various tasks, but it faces challenges in PC gaming due to its bloat and background processes. SteamOS, a Linux-based operating system, is gaining popularity among gamers, especially with the upcoming release of a new console-like Steam Machine in early 2026 and a variant of the Legion Go 2 gaming handheld in June 2026. SteamOS offers superior performance and efficiency, with less system overhead compared to Windows, although it still faces issues like anti-cheat compatibility. Community sentiment is shifting away from Windows due to dissatisfaction with Microsoft's updates and AI integration, leading many gamers to consider SteamOS as an alternative. Microsoft is aware of the need to improve Windows 11's gaming experience and has announced updates for 2026. Steam has a large user base, with 35 to 40 million users online at any time, providing a strong platform for promoting SteamOS. Despite the rise of SteamOS, Windows remains the most popular operating system and continues to manage a wide range of tasks effectively.

AMD’s latest Adrenalin driver update drops Windows 10 from release notes, but the company says support continues

AMD's Adrenalin Edition 25.10.2 driver update has placed the Radeon RX 5000 and RX 6000 graphics cards into "maintenance mode," but these GPUs will continue to receive day-zero game support and essential driver updates. AMD clarified that Windows 10 is still fully supported, despite initial confusion from the release notes that emphasized compatibility with Windows 11. The omission of Windows 10 in the release notes led to concerns, which AMD addressed by confirming ongoing support for the older operating system.

RX 6000 cards lose game-specific optimisations as AMD puts RDNA 1 and 2 in ‘maintenance mode’

AMD has launched the RX 9070 XT and RX 9060 XT, improving its consumer perception, especially compared to Nvidia's underperforming RTX 5070. However, AMD is facing backlash for transitioning RDNA 1 and 2 graphics cards to legacy support. The announcement indicated new game support for Radeon RX 7000 and 9000 series products, but concerns arose regarding the lack of support for RDNA 2, which could affect gaming handhelds. Consumer frustration has been evident on platforms like Reddit, where many questioned the decision to discontinue RDNA 2 support, particularly for GPUs like the 6700XT, 6800XT, and 6900XT. The absence of ongoing support may reduce the value of RDNA 2 cards for future builds, contrasting with Nvidia's continued support for its older RTX 20-series cards. This shift in AMD's support strategy raises concerns about the longevity of RDNA 1 and 2 cards in the evolving gaming landscape.

On October 29, AMD released the Adrenalin software update version 25.10.2 for Radeon graphics, which includes support for games like Battlefield 6 and Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2, both using DirectX 12.

It is compatible with Windows 10 and requires Windows 11 version 21H2 or later. The update limits new game support to AMD's Radeon RX 7000 and RX 9000 GPUs, dropping support for older RDNA 1 and RDNA 2 graphics cards. The update also introduces "Work Graphs" support for Radeon RX 9000 GPUs, enhancing GPU autonomy. Fixed issues include crashes in several games and stuttering with VR headsets, while known issues persist with Battlefield 6 and other titles. The driver is available for download from the AMD website.

New AMD Radeon frame gen tech could work in any game, suggests GPU driver leak

AMD has released a new version of Fluid Motion Frames in its latest driver update, aiming to improve frame generation capabilities with the upcoming FSR Redstone technology, expected to launch in late 2025. This technology is designed to leverage machine learning while being compatible with standard GPU shaders, allowing it to work across various GPUs without the need for specialized AI cores. The new Fluid Motion Frames will enable driver-level frame generation that does not require specific game support, allowing users to toggle it on or off in their driver profiles. Code references to this technology were found in the 25.20 branch of the Adrenalin drivers, indicating the potential for AMD Fluid Motion Frames 3.

Capcom announces official end of support for Monster Hunter on Windows 10

Capcom announced that starting October 14, 2025, it will no longer guarantee functionality for Monster Hunter: World, Monster Hunter Rise, and Monster Hunter Wilds on Windows 10 systems. Players will still be able to enjoy these titles on Windows 10 after the cutoff date, but future updates could lead to compatibility issues. Monster Hunter: World and Monster Hunter Rise have completed their post-launch support phases, while Monster Hunter Wilds is still in early post-launch content, making it more susceptible to compatibility issues. Users are encouraged to consider upgrading to Windows 11 for continued access to their gaming library.
