The only thing that puts me off is the small screen. My eyes aren't getting any younger.

Most text in most games is around the size of text on a phone or a paperback, or bigger. The OLED screen is marginally bigger than the LCD screen.

But i don't really know of a stable distro with an upto date version of KDE?

Kubuntu has Plasma 6.5.0 in the backports PPA.

I take heart from the lead at Revolution Software being candid about being bullish on AI as a means to keep the price down on remastering Broken Sword, and then being equally candid on how it hadn't been cheaper, and hadn't been very good, and they weren't going to do it again having tried it. Lots of companies in lots of industries are dabbling with AI because it's being hyped at them; they won't necessarily know that AI slop isn't good unless they try it.

I think KDE Plasma is still the absolute best way to get more Windows users to feel at home on Linux.

I'd say that's selling it short. I'd been using Linux & Gnome for over a decade when KDE Plasma made me feel at home on Linux after Gnome stopped feeling like that. I expect users of other DEs, and Mac OS, will also feel at home on Linux with Plasma. It can't be overstated how awesome Plasma's pervasive attitude of "of course you should use your computer exactly how you want to" is.

Just a reminder that the Truckful devs are super enthusiastic about the Deck and are aiming for >60 fps at the highest settings there. I haven't tried the demo to see how close they are to that goal so far, but I will later in the Next Fest.

Is it safe yet to start dunking on Apple people for representing a vanishing 1.~% gaming marketshare?

Mac is at about the same level as non-Deck desktop Linux, so not yet.

It would be better if both Linux & Mac were above, say, 5%, too encourage multiplatform development, but Apple gonna Apple.

I enjoyed the demo from before the name change. I'm quite looking forward to it if they can pull it off.

In the last month I've played The Raven, The Abandoned Planet, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, Framed, Wheel World, The Pale Beyond, and Hades. I also started The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker, but that's something I'm playing with my other half and it's difficult to find times when we're both available and both in the mood.

I've decided to pick up Old World, Seedlings, Dustborn and Murdered: Soul Suspect.

The other half's been Family Sharing my copy of Megaquarium, so I'll be picking up the last expansion pack for that. I don't know what I'll be getting for me or the little one yet.
