    There's a lot of blog posts and news articles being written right now centred around Microsoft's plans for updates to Windows 11, and potential kernel changes, with some thinking this means big things for Linux gaming.

    The Longest Journey, a game series that lived up to its name
  • it must've been... 20 years? since I've played it, and I still remember it. I also remember that the solution was in the guide that came with the game, and it actually acknowledged that it was one of the most convoluted puzzles in the game.

    Out of curiosity is there a FOSS (add-free) short form video type social media?
  • I love stux, I have a Mastodon account on one of his instances, and I donate every now and then. he's a good human being, and his cats are supreme.

    that being said, I feel like sometimes he's a bit ADHD with his side projects, so he creates one, and then just lets it fizzle out over time while he starts two new ones. goldfish.social was one of them, and it looks like the domain has expired and got bought out by someone else. perhaps it's his way of learning new stuff, or preventing himself on getting burned out or something - whichever it is, I'm not judging, he's never making promises that they're long term commitments anyway. his Masto instances have been solid, on the other hand.

    www.gamingonlinux.com Linux user share on Steam breaks 2% thanks to Steam Deck

    A moment I've no doubt many Linux fans have been waiting to see. The Linux user share on Steam has smashed through the 2% barrier.

    A moment I've no doubt many Linux fans have been waiting to see. The Linux user share on Steam has smashed through the 2% barrier.

    Not actually for the first time though, it did initially rise up above 2% in March 2013, shortly after the original Steam for Linux release when it left Beta. Part of the reason it had higher numbers at the start, was that Valve added a special Tux item into Team Fortress 2 only on Linux but it quickly dropped in the following months.
