Quoting: HJThat isn't Prey though, it's Prey (2017)
How about a nice game of Doom or Tomb Raider instead? :grin:

Solid selection of indies, but NBA and WWE games seem to be mediocre at best.

Ubisoft hiring Linux developer talent for XDefiant

I thought this would be just for the Linux servers, which a lot of companies use internally. But the wording might suggest that it is also for the game itself. In that case it is very interesting.

What could be the reason behind it though? Getting on board with the Steam Deck / Steam Console? Some other Linux platform they have on mind?

The Last of Us on Steam Deck is not great

That's not great. Was really hoping to play this classic. But I guess I'll wait and see if they fix the issues. I mean, it's been 10 years already, whats a year or two more?

Xwayland Video Bridge created to improve Linux screen sharing

Quoting: LinasSomething like that should really be built into Wayland.
I'm not sure if you mean screensharing or that video bridge? [...]

Should it be in XWayland? Maybe, but this modular solution is good as well.
What I mean is that there should be a way for legacy apps to continue functioning, including screen sharing. Otherwise we end up with a chicken and egg problem where people cannot switch to Wayland if their apps don't work, and apps won't support Wayland if nobody uses it.

Wait, Turok remaster? Is that the version that is currently on Steam?

Canonical want help testing their Steam snap package for Ubuntu

I don't have anything against snaps as such, but the way Canonical are pushing them onto users feels disrespectful. Like if you apt install firefox, it will pull in snapd, and install the snap package of Firefox. Not quite what I expected the system to do.

Oh man, this game. I played it a bit back in the day, but could not figure out what the heck was going on or what I was supposed to be doing? I think it was also in russian, which did not help. :huh:
