Paradox have today launched the new Season 09 Expansion Pass, which initially launches with the Stargazer Species Portrait. There's stuff that's actually interesting to come though, but you have to wait until May 5th.

Linux kernel 6.14 has arrived today, and a day later than it was expected. As usual there's lots new from supported hardware to various improvements.

EmuDeck is an all-in-one solution for managing emulation on Linux, SteamOS, Steam Deck and other handhelds and the 2.4 release brings some nice additions.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows is out now and it's Steam Deck Verified, so I took a look to see if it deserves the rating. The good news is that it will also work on normal Desktop Linux with AMD GPUs but NVIDIA GPUs have problems.

See you in a week. Nubby's Number Factory is what the developer calls a "plinko-style roguelike" (everything is a roguelike now apparently?) where you drop your ball (Nubby) down a pegboard to rack up increasingly large numbers to stop the sun from exploding.

GNOME 48 is a big new release including multiple major enhancements to one of the most-used desktop environments on Linux. There's some big stuff in this one!

Much like we have OpenRazer and Polychromatic for Razer devices on Linux, we also have the constantly updated community supported ckb-next for better Corsair hardware support that just got updated.

12 years after the successful Kickstarter, the supernatural horror adventure ASYLUM from Senscape has finally seen a release. Although the Native Linux version has unfortunately been delayed.

NVIDIA have released NVIDIA RTX Remix, their modding platform that allows developers to enhance games with full ray tracing. Additionally, Half-Life 2 RTX is getting a demo on March 18th.

GE-Proton 9-26 is out now bringing with it a bunch of fixes for various games on Linux / Steam Deck so here's what's new.

Tellus Games have released Oblin Party, a physics-based 2D party party brawler where you have direct control over your two hands made with Godot. It has Native Linux support and should work great on Steam Deck too.

With a first episode that's completely free, Muffles' Life Sentence is a really weird dark comedy 2D RPG where have to swap your face and it's well worth a look. Here you've been sent to prison, where their doctors do clearly pretty terrible things to you depending on your crimes.

STRAFTAT originally launched in October 2024, and just recently the developer added a Linux version. It's a completely ridiculous competitive 1v1 online shooter with quick rounds and lots of weapons.

The big and impressive Baldur's Gate 3 mod for Stardew Valley is out now bringing with it a bunch of new content for fans of both games.

From John, Evan and David Szymanski - names you might know from the likes of DUSK, My Friendly Neighborhood, Kyle is Famous, Butcher's Creek, Squirrel Stapler and more is a thoroughly chaotic and ridiculous game about toppling an evil crime syndicate hidden beneath a prestigious wizarding school.

The new kid on the block here is FragPunk, an online competitive FPS that feels like a noisy flashy version of Counter-Strike blended with Valorant and the good news is the anti-cheat is enabled for Linux / Steam Deck.

Another new release is available for MangoHud, the Linux gaming overlay, which is also used for the performance stats on Steam Deck.
