Can somebody please explain how this works? How the heck do you run Windows in a Docker container?

Liège Waffles from the food trucks probably need a dedicated budget line.
When I was there, I was not impressed by the waffle truck. Tasted like the batter mix you buy at a discount shop. Maybe I just picked the wrong truck?

I won't be able to join this year, but I would be interested in joining a fundraiser to help GoL cover the event ;)
FOSDEM itself is for free, so it's just plane tickets and accommodation. Yeah, I would chip in. :wink:

SteamOS 3.7.15 Beta brings fixes for audio, security issues, Asus ROG Ally and Lenovo Legion Go

You can in fact install SteamOS on a PC, as long as it has an AMD GPU and an NVMe drive. I have been running SteamOS on my sofa gaming box for a while now, and it correctly supports GPU power limits, screen resolutions, and shows compatibility ratings for SteamOS (blue checkmark) instead of Steam Deck (green checkmark). There's not really anything hardcoded for the deck specifically.

It's not a general purpose desktop OS, and it doesn't pretend to be one either.

Fixed volume jumping to 100% upon removing 3.5mm headphones.
This one has gotten me more than a few times!

ScummVM gets support for the survival horror Penumbra Overture from the Amnesia developers

That is an unexpected addition to ScummVM. I was under the impression that they focus on classic 2D point-and-click games, because they share the same(-ish) game engine. But Penumbra is a relatively modern 3D game with a custom engine that has nothing in common with the rest of ScummVM. What benefit is embedding HPL1 engine into ScummVM instead of it being stand-alone?

I hope they would at least support multiple games per SD card? The last thing I need in my life is 175 tiny SD cards to lose between the couch cushions.
