Ew. I love Tokyo, it's a wonderful place to visit. Gnome, on the other hand... No.

New York sues Valve over "illegally promoting gambling" for loot boxes

I hardly think Valve's lootboxes are to blame for the US' unhealthy obsession with guns, but I'd agree that they encourage gambling. In the same way that e.g. Pokemon card booster packs do, at least.

Steam Winter Sale is live with Steam Awards 2025 open for voting
19 Dec 2025 at 12:11 am UTC

I'll take my usual approach to the Steam Awards -- vote for anything with Linux support, ignore any categories which don't have a viable vote option.

I think the only games I played from 2025 were Civilisation VII (pants), and Little Sim World (alright, but very early access.)

Not much of a surprise, Fx has been shit for years.

The Logitech G305 Lightspeed Wireless mouse is a great reasonably priced pick

Quoting: MrSeatbeltgoated mouse, got mine when my wired razer mouse (which technically had a better sensor but whatever) started double clicking, having scroll wheel issues and generally kind of fell apart a bit.
Yeaaah, this is standard Razer hardware behaviour in my experience. I dumped them in 2014, and jumped ship to Roccat since they had (unofficial) Linux support. Then the Linux support dried up for Roccat devices, so I jumped ship to Corsair.

Arch-based distro EndeavourOS gets a new Ganymede release

Arch is catered towards people who like using the terminal, who are willing to read manpages, documentation, wiki pages, etc. to administer their systems
Lets not make out like Arch is for super technical linux experts. It's not, it's more geared towards the kind of person who want to think they are. I mean, why not use Gentoo and get really into the weeds.

we miss you Sabayon , come back ! :sad:
Being able to use a terminal doesn't make you an expert. Being disinclined to use a terminal makes you indisposed to be an Arch Linux user.

Arch-based distro EndeavourOS gets a new Ganymede release

Quoting: scaineIt's a problem, and one that's hand-waved away by dedicated Arch users who say "just use the terminal". I'm fine doing so, but it means that I wouldn't recommend an Arch distro to anyone, ever.
Why do you think it's a problem? There are plenty of distros out there that cater to click-ops users. Arch is catered towards people who like using the terminal, who are willing to read manpages, documentation, wiki pages, etc. to administer their systems. It isn't designed for people who want something they don't need to understand and can just click 'next next next, done' on some GUI. When a soname bump in a core library leaves their unsupported (AUR) packages broken, it shouldn't be a surprise, nor a chore, to have to rebuild those packages. When upstream overhauls their configuration file format or makes a change to the defaults, it shouldn't be a surprise, nor a chore, to be alerted to this by pacman and have to merge their .pacnew config files. When a packaging bug gets fixes it shouldn't be a surprise, nor a chore, to check the front page news to read up on why the problem occurred and how they can fix it.

Arch isn't for everyone, and that's fine.
