Yeah, I think the fact that the next LTS will be 26.04 is the driver here, I just get the impression that things might get a little rocky and that they might’ve been better off had the next LTS been further into the future.
But it’ll be a real smoke test release, at least. Hopefully they have enough resources to fix the issues that are uncovered, and don’t wind up reverting for the LTS, or with a crummy LTS.
Yeh. Ubuntu also discussed it back in 2019, and wound up keeping some of it so Steam would keep working.
I expect the willingness to bend over backwards for one proprietary and very profitable app doesn’t last forever, and given how involved gaming often is with pushing technology, it’s frankly weird that Steam is still shackled to 32bit like that.
