Quoting: Purple Library GuyI guess if they switched it to "x.com" that would cause the apocalypse (or at least the Enemy Unknown).
They do own x.com sadly.
I was actually just making a bad XCOM joke.
Imagine when they come across x.org.

Resident Evil Village and plenty more available in this new bundle

As someone who likes horror games, but have never played any of the Resident Evil games, I am tempted.

Where would one even start though? Just play them in chronological order, or it doesn't matter? Any advice?

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.
