Why isn't flatpak mesa beta/git 25.08 branch getting updates anymore

I noticed that the 25.08 Flatpak branch of Mesa Git drivers has not received updates since April, and the new .08 branch usually gets released in September. Additionally, the software might not move to the latest runtime, 26.08.

I think having Git versions of drivers is very productive for finding bugs, but I don’t understand why the maintainers stop maintaining the Git drivers in Flatpak so quickly. I believe this is a problem, and the maintainers should keep the beta drivers maintained in Flatpak.

It’s also possible that the issue is on my system and the updates are being released, but I’m simply not receiving them. If that’s the case, do you have any idea how I could fix it?

Linux Market Share Exceeded 10% in the USA for July (as of 07-12-2026)

The Linux market share (according to statcounter) has exceeded 10% in the USA for the ongoing month of July.

How accurate the data is—I'm not sure. But previous datapoints are showing a trend.

This trend could likely be a direct result of the release of the Steam Machine, which would explain why it's higher in the USA (for the ongoing month of July) than it is worldwide (which is at 7.28%). Additionally, SteamOS was released for desktop recently, which could be affecting the operating system that users are using (both in the USA and worldwide).

What phones are you using?

I have been wanting a new phone for a while now and I have my eyes on the Fairphone with e/OS. What drew me in is the prospect of being able to easily replace parts of the phone as well as the alternative OS. But before I buy anything expensive I figured I would ask for advice first.

I am looking for something that is de-Googled and I refuse to buy Apple products. I value (in descending order of importance) everyday functionality (calendar, maps, music etc.), privacy, compatibility with common apps, battery life and sturdiness. Though I am aware that "privacy" and "smartphone" do not exactly go hand in hand.

What alternative phone do you guys recommend? Are there mobile Linux distros (other than Android) that are worth looking into? I heard Graphene isn't bad but I have no experience either way.
Thoughts on the Fairphone?
