# 2026 Prediction Show
|
||
|
||
### Last Year's Predictions
|
||
|
||
- Matt
|
||
- RedHat will piss off the FOSS world again by making something proprietary
|
||
- Steam will fix anti-cheat this year. Something major, whether it's getting existing anti-cheat to work on Linux or making something new and forcing game devs to use it, they will do something to fix the online gaming problem they currently have.
|
||
- Microsoft will bring AI to Linux.
|
||
- Drew
|
||
- Mainstream adoption of containerization tools like [Docker](https://files.thelinuxcast.org/index.php/f/17663) and Podman in the next few years, making them far more accessible and user-friendly for the broader population.
|
||
- [ARM-based processors ](https://files.thelinuxcast.org/index.php/f/17664) are going to be a huge focus. ARM chips have already been taking over the world, especially with the rise of Apple’s M-series chips in MacBooks and the increasing use of ARM in everything from smartphones to servers.
|
||
- [Microsoft Windows 10 EOL October 2025 will push Linux marketshare above 10%](https://files.thelinuxcast.org/index.php/f/17668)
|
||
- Nate
|
||
- More Gamers will leave Windows for Linux due to a lot of the new Ryzen Handhelds are pushing for SteamOS to be the main OS.
|
||
- Will probably see a actual beta release of SteamOS as a normal "gamer" Linux Distro
|
||
- System76's CosmicDE will be moved into beta in ready for full release in 2026
|
||
- We will start seeing more ARM compatibility for Linux due to ARM laptops becoming mainstream.
|
||
- Tyler
|
||
- mozilla will make 2 products that will go nowhere and have no more than 250 users total
|
||
- SteamOS will become a major percentage of the Linux user base
|
||
- Bing will die
|
||
|
||
|
||
### 2026 Predictions
|
||
|
||
Matt -
|
||
|
||
- Matrix will shut down.
|
||
- Mozilla will be purchased by openAI or some other AI company.
|
||
- XFCE will be released with Wayland support
|
||
|
||
Drew -
|
||
- Ubuntu ships AI features enabled by default
|
||
- Bluefin-style immutable desktops spread beyond enthusiast circles
|
||
- Linux doesn’t win primary desktop dominance — but it **wins as the second OS** for a growing number of users.
