The Atari VCS team put out a new blog post and it goes over some changes to the design and it still looks pretty great.

What could possibly be a little prank from Valve, the unfinished Steam store pages for the Valve Index, Valve Index Base Station and Valve Index Controllers went online a little too early.

While details are extremely light, we now know Valve's VR headset is called the Valve Index and more details are coming soon.

Remember the Atari VCS, the Linux-powered gaming console? Well it's still alive and they've decided to give it a bit of an upgrade.

Two bits of NVIDIA news for you today, not only have they released a new stable driver, they've also put out their latest GPU with the GTX 1660.

With Intel's brand new dedicated GPU due next year, they've begun talking up their efforts of getting Linux support in early.

As always, my love for the open source and Linux community continues. When a company doesn't do something officially, someone else comes along and does it. GreenWithEnvy is a recent one, to allow NVIDIA GPU owners to tinker with their hardware.

For those looking to splash out a bit on a new desktop, the Linux hardware vendor Entroware have unleashed Hades, a powerful new desktop computer with Linux pre-loaded.

Something that could be rather exciting for AMD enthusiasts, AMD has officially revealed the AMD Radeon VII at CES 2019. On top of that, 3rd generation Ryzen desktop processors are coming.

As a bit of a win for everyone, NVIDIA have announced that they will be supporting VESA Adaptive Sync.

Not exactly surprising, Intel have stated that for their new discrete GPU that Linux gaming will have a focus for them.

If you've read GamingOnLinux regularly, you will likely know how I am a big fan of SC Controller. It's a user-made driver and interface for using and mapping the Steam Controller. It's also now going under some major changes.

Despite it still sounding a long way off, the Atari VCS console which will have a Linux-based OS along with the ability to boot another normal Linux distribution is coming along.

Valve has quietly mentioned that the Steam Link is selling out across the world with stock either sold out or about to be sold out.

It appears Valve are truly getting more serious about Virtual Reality as they appear to be making their own headset. On top of that, apparently a new Half-Life VR game is coming.

After recently releasing their own in-house designed Thelio desktop system, System76 have announced they're giving away some funding to open source projects from laptop sales.

The day has finally arrived, Linux hardware vendor System76 has officially revealed their new custom-built desktop the Thelio.

In their recent blog posts titled 'System76 on US Manufacturing and Open Hardware' the Linux hardware vendor shared some details and thoughts about what they're up to.

The hardware vendor specializing in Linux systems has set a date for its latest venture. Their new Thelio desktop systems will be available for preorder soon.

After updating to Ubuntu 18.10 today I noticed that a lot of games were either crashing, not detecting my Steam Controller or detecting it as a second player. Here's a fix.
