Godot Engine 4.4 is out now with Jolt Physics, Ubershaders, Interactive in-game editing

I still find it hillarious that Godot has a fairly up-to-date C# version when Microsofts own Unity still runs Mono.

The OBS Studio versus Fedora drama seems to have calmed down - no more legal threats

I always thought the reason for Fedora Flatpaks was to have a broader range of apps on the image-based repos when there were not a lot of apps on Flathub yet.

FYI: Next, time if you are looking to auto translate an article, you might want to look into Deepl. Their translations are bit more natural and it isn't from Google.

Discord screen-sharing with audio on Linux Wayland is officially here

If the app has been updated to go direct to PipeWire it may not work yet.
What does "direct to Pipewire" mean here? Does it mean no Pipewire support at all or something else?

Discord Canary on Linux breaks Wayland screen-sharing support for now

I hope they hurry a bit then with putting it in stable because I'm getting tired of fiddling with something that should have worked years ago (A.K.A a bit after when Electron added support for it).

I never pick up games on day one anymore, because you just can't trust that it will even run properly anymore, but I will buy it if it gets favourable reviews.

KDE Plasma 6.3 will have much better fractional scaling

Quoting: tmtvl
Quoting: legluondunetHow is KDE plasma behavior today? Is it enough stable for a daily use and gaming ? How is it resources consuming ? I prefer light DE and keep resources for gaming.
As long as you have only a single monitor it's more-or-less fine. If you have multiple monitors it's kinda garbage. I've also noticed a bug where after running an application which would under X11 disable compositing, under Wayland it disables the blur effect and it doesn't get re-enabled. But yeah, I'm using 2 monitors and I just have to use Awesome because otherwise the experience is crap (workspaces switch on both monitors at once, applications have a bad habit of opening on the wrong monitor, applications don't reopen in the same position,...).
I use 2 monitors with Plasma 6 every single day and it works like a charm, but that is with AMD graphics and Wayland. I do not use workspaces though, so no comment on that.

Quoting: no_information_here
Quoting: BrokattI had to google it. Apparently it's a german federal tech agency.
Yes, my first question was Sovereign to which country?

It would have been great to have more context:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sovereign_Tech_Fund [External Link]

Even their website avoids saying anything about Germany on most pages. Weird.

It's not immediately clear, but they don't exactly hide it either: https://www.sovereign.tech/faq [External Link].

Linux GPU Configuration Tool 'LACT' adds NVIDIA support

Quoting: nnohonsjnhtsylaySadly its written in rust so it takes forever to compile on my computer, even with my cpu with 24 threads
Why not install a binary if the compile times are an issue for you?
