GE-Proton 9-1 brings a whole lot of fixes for Linux / Steam Deck gaming

As usual, Trails fans just show up in random places just to show that they're everywhere and they're dedicated despite 'niche' that game is. Good work regardless, would love to see automated fixes for all of Yuzusoft games as well.

Windowkill is a clever multi-window twin-stick shooter that moves around your screen

I did also test it on Wayland too with KDE Plasma, and it works fine there too.
It is still running on XWayland and I'd imagine it functions just fine there because behind the scene it's still in one canvas or something.

Still, interesting to see a game that runs straight into the mess that is window servers on various platforms.

CrossOver 24 released with Wine 9.0 - plus CodeWeavers still hiring developers

Hm, they said they're looking into Flatpak release in one of theit threads. Looks like it won't be for this year unless there's a surprise release on their mid-year update.

A shame, because Flatpak would solve the issue of the headache inducing dependencies they have (especially for Office 365 which is my main purpose of getting CrossOver)

What to Expect From Wine on Wayland in 2024

Quoting: Purple Library GuyYeah. Although what I really really want is alternatives to Adobe products that work about as well, because I really dislike Adobe. Specifically for fiddling with .pdfs, I have no need for anything more powerful for image stuff than the GIMP and various other already available open source things.
For PDFs, I just use MasterPDF Editor 5 on Flatpak for most simple editing stuff, and I use MasterPDF 4 in a container for the more complex stuff. I've looked into Qoopa PDF Studio as well, though that one is paid-only so I haven't really tested much of it.

Though I do prefer Foxit because it's just much better. I have a Portable version I use in a Windows VM, because even with Wine it's sub-optimal vs just using it in a VM.

Quoting: FoxStevenWhat I only want is using Adobe Product on linux......
Some of it is already usable, but it's a hack and isn't reliable. We'd likely see Adobe moving to web-based solution to make a single SKU for all their products available in all platforms.

Qualys discovers glibc flaw that could enable attackers to gain full root access

I'm on daily updates, so I don't really have to worry about this. If it hasn't been solved, there's nothing I can do, and if it has then I should automatically get it.

Though, I'd assume Flatpak runtimes will need to update as well? Although the risk should be lower there with all the mitigation they have.

What to Expect From Wine on Wayland in 2024

I'll use whatever Proton, Bottles, Heroic, and Lutris defaults to. I've followed the Wine Wayland effort here and there. It flies above my head and I don't even know what is and isn't working in the latest Staging and Stable version (and add what version of Wine that Proton and Proton-GE uses to that equation).

So, I'll wait, and use the default, whatever that default is. I'm already on Wayland anyways, and uBlue/Bazzite teams are good about communicating to their users as well as providing workarounds, so they should help mitigate or make more accessible regardless of what the launchers choose to ship.

Spec Ops: The Line gets delisted on Steam - you can still buy it elsewhere for now

Quoting: TheRiddickProbably why its been removed. Given current global events.
No, it's probably music. IIRC it uses a few band songs, like Mogwai's Glasgow Mega-Snake, which was quite memorable for me.

The original SteamOS-like Linux distro HoloISO now dead, replaced with immutable version

Quoting: Doktor-MandrakeThanks for the recommendation, going to try it out
You can do it with an rpm-ostree rebase [External Link] from a normal Fedora immutable install, if you want, but you can also make your own repo [External Link] to get a personalized image which is pretty easy to do! I outright just layer in my own skel files so that everything I want is there, right from install, including how I setup my KDE panel and everything [External Link].
