News - Sony PlayStation reportedly moving away from PC ports
By Mohandevir, 4 Mar 2026 at 4:34 pm UTC
I've never bought a game on Playstation, for myself. It's not going to change. Sony doesn't want my money? So be it. It's been fun while it lasted.

It's kind of looking like MS and Sony both saw the RAMpocalypse, crunched some numbers and perhaps decided that it's possible to squeeze out another console generation after all - at an inflated, but still relatively lower vs the PC enthusiast market price. So, they're hitting their respective brakes hard and pivoting. Maybe? The timing is at least curious for both the regime change at MS and the Sony pivot.

To me this means I won't be playing any new Sony games. Nintendo you ain't, Sony. Most of the time these days even Nintendo ain't Nintendo.
News - Bazzite gets a big update with KDE Plasma 6.6, Mesa 26.0.1 and more

Quoting: fenglengshun
Quoting: Stellathe only reason they used Ptyxis in the first place was because of Konsole's seriously lacking container support, which are very important for the immutable distro workflow.
I personally dislike Discover as it feels slow and bloated due to the many different backends it supports and despite being called Discover, the discoverability of apps feels lacking in comparison to Bazaar. I even started using Bazaar on my Steam Deck.
What counts as "seriously lacking container support" here? I've been using konsole with distrobox just fine even before I got on ublue, and that's before we even have Bazzite and only had ublue-kinoite. I can enter my container pretty quickly - just use an alias or zsh-autosuggestions if you want to do it quickly.

re: Discover and Bazaar
Spoiler, click me

I don't care about Discover's problems with Flatpak and others. I just want to be able to keep my applets, themes, and kwin scripts updated. If it bothers people so much, just include Bazaar, pin it in favorite, hide Discover in Utility category.

What I hated was Discover being removed when Bazaar still sucked. I did give it a try back then - it locks the entire app if you clicked Update, it was still pretty slow, I know it crashed on other people, and I find the way it loads on each keypress while searching to be rather uncomfortable as I am a bit sensitive to flashing screens. It wasn't ready, it was shoved in my face, and what I needed was removed while restoring it isn't as straightforward as with Konsole. The last time an operating system didn't something similar, I left and learned an entirely new operating system.

Honestly, I don't even want to talk about Bazaar anymore - it just keeps making me angry remembering how it was implemented in the ublue ecosystem. I don't even care how good it is now, the initial introduction left such a bad taste in my mouth.
with the Ptyxis terminal you can easily open a new container session from a dropdown in the UI, Konsole did not have this until very recently (we're still waiting for the merged commits to land in an actual release, but you'll be able to select your containers if you right click the 'new tab' dropdown)

Yes, but that does require you buying games at console prices, not Steam prices.

The only Sony-exclusive games I wanted to play in recent history were Gran Turismo and Bloodborne and they never ported those anyway. So I guess not much of value is lost for me.

Really? I thought they were selling their consoles at lose and making up with side stuff, like games and accessories.

How many people owning a gaming PC would actually buy a playstation for a specific exclusive game, and would that cover the buyers they would get on the PC port? Prolly depends how much it costs to do the port.
Anyway they'll definitely lose me as a buyer, and I did buy many of their titles.

I mean. They could still sue you. Your Terms of Service and EULA is only as good as your legal team and how much money you have.

I feel like everyone is so optimistic that they can't be sued because the alternative is taking it seriously and it's scary, as well as involves compromises on things that traditionally we don't care for (but now have to because law is law).
A majority of distros aren't even based in the US, so good luck with that.

But I'd imagine it would just be thrown out of court regardless. California cannot impose their laws outside of their own jurisdiction. There's a reason that products sold in my country don't carry Prop 65 labels, and there's a reason that most products sold in America don't, either. If it were that simple the California AG would be suing people left, right, and centre for failing to comply with Prop 65 labeling legislation outside of state.

This feels like such a bigbrain csuite executive decision that has no basis in reality.

I fear for the fate of Nixxes ... seriously one of the best development studio ever. Their optimizations on the various ports were literally some of the best from a technical standpoint ... ever.

I really had a great time in Horizon Zero Dawn (not so much forbidden west) and spent the crazy high premium costs to buy those games. Oh well, I suppose they don't want that income. There's an approximate 0% chance I'll go "ohhhhhh lordy me I suppose I will just have to go get a playstation 6".

Quoting: Eike
Quoting: Mountain ManTo be fair, we're still far behind Europe where you can and will be arrested for posting "offensive" messages on social media.
You can be punished for say calling someone an a**hole. Not for stating an actual opinion. (You do not really believe that a person is a backside - it's not an opinion, it's all insult.) I fail to see a problem with that.
So it's an insult. It's also an opinion. (and insulting opinion?)
Not something that should get one arrested.

However, your comment reminded me of:
[From the Hip clip.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYW6fLfMMJU)

Loved that movie.

Politicions only care about getting re-elected. All that "think of .."
distractions. Will the laws actually DO anything useful? nope.
What about all the ones already passed? more nopes.

btw, calling somone (politicians) an a - hole, could be considered an accurate description you know.
(they open up and fecal matter comes out.) lol.

"Senior Anti-Cheat Engineer" is a hilariously dumb-sounding job title. 😂 That aside, I think this will be good for those people who stay on Windows because they simply cannot cannot bear having to give up those games. As long as they can partner with Valve and implement it in a way that doesn't compromise the security and privacy of people who don't want to play those games, I'm OK with it.

YESSSS!!!! This is so exciting!

Although: I'm a little scared. Maybe a lot. April is usually a busy work month. I should just pre-email all my contacts and be like "sorry stuff is delayed, I'm playing Shapez leave me alone"

This game is gonna be SO GOOD on release! I mean it already is but Manufacture Mode sounds wonderful.

Presumably, no. Fedora has the right mind of how it'll look like - docker can just inherit the user age bracket data as part of its initialization process. Could also just check for user's group, since they also care about `docker` group anyways.

Quoting: Doktor-MandrakeReally don't see how they can enforce it, particularly on linux distros
It's pretty simple: they see a company not doing anything to comply, they sue. Now, whether it'll hold up in Supreme Court, that's a question - though not one that's anyone eager to answer, especially of the lawsuit started first on a red state that implements a similar law.

The law itself is pretty clear about what counts as a violation and what's the fine. The problem that isn't clear is how they expect OS vendor to comply, in the technical sense, and what counts as "negligent" and "intentional" violation (I would assume not doing anything at all would count as intentional).

This is unfortunately a legal matter - you can't think as a user or as a dev, you have to think as legal entities.

Again, the only way out really is to get the laws amended or challenged in Supreme Court, neither of which are easy. My main worry is with other countries, especially EU if I'm being honest - they can more likely to overreach with their version of the law and I'm not sure how you'd challenge them.

Then you do understand. It's nothing to do with children, and it's nothing to do with parents. The people that are pushing their panopticon just want to be able to claim that those who oppose it "hate children."

No no no no no. That sorta kinda kills the purpose of using linux, plus I need out of tree or custom kernel modules on all PCs I use for at least 1 piece of hardware.

"I believe it when I see it" kind of situation.
But I had "one large company will at least consider porting their anti-cheat to SteamOS/Linux" on my bingo card, so I'm at least intrigued. Fingers crossed.

But I wonder what the approach will be. They say Linux instead of just SteamOS, so it seems to be a more general solution instead of just focusing on Valve's hardware which is great. And they don't explicitly state kernel level for Linux either(but who knows).

Maybe they'll work together with Valve to provide some kernel module without giving full access to every company. Maybe some form of remote attestation that can later be integrated into other distros?

I'm not gonna get too excited until we actually see some results. But I'll be cautiously optimistic.
I'll gladly reinstall BF1 or Garden Warfare 2 if they go through with it. And maybe they'll bring the Apex Legends devs to adopt this anti-cheat as well.

This could be what many of us have been waiting for. If one company goes through with it, I imagine others will follow.
Let's hope for the best.
