Quoting: dziadulewiczNo thanks; i rather send my monys to Steam because they have a native Linux client and support Linux in other ways too. Epig (typed correctly) and GOG are out of the question for me until they support Linux in a sound way. Yes.What's better, a forced client as a form of DRM or (playing a free game with) no client?
Epic Games are killing off a bunch of classics like Unreal Tournament

Wow, a rather unceremonious ending to Unreal innit? Well, it was inevitable.
The best Linux distribution for gaming in 2023

Got my start on Ubuntu, and while I haven't tried it in a while I'm sure Kubuntu is a perfectly ok place to play games on.
Though I personally recommend Fedora KDE and OpenSUSE Tumbleweed to friends who want to try a Linux distro, and most of them enjoy one of those :grin:

Surprising probably no one, most people use the Steam Deck as a handheld

If Valve sold hardware here, or if we could actually get any other of those handheld PCs, I'd get one to use it for handheld mainly. I run Ubuntu on my Switch to stream games to it from my Arch Linux PC, such a fantastic solution; handheld gaming that is. Very nice to have.

Mastodon all the way for me. Nextcloud's take on social is interesting too to say the least, I run a Nextcloud instance for me and my friends on a Pi 400, doubt that thing can handle social at the same time though, haha..

omg! Didn't know this game got a PC port, it's one of those I wanted a PS5 to play *specifically*. Thanks for reporting on it, Liam! :grin:
Seems like a perfect fit for handheld too.

EA begins swapping out Origin for EA app on Steam

Haven't had it happen since 5-6 months ago, but good to know in case it does.

Quoting: psy-qYou'll have to "run EXE in WINE prefix" and select the "Destager.exe" from the newly downloaded version.Thank you!! One of the issues I never figured out, so I always just made a new Wine prefix and reinstalled the app when it happened... lol :D

EA begins swapping out Origin for EA app on Steam

Hopefully the kinks can be worked out in Proton, I know I comment this a lot but yeah, EA App just solved all my problems with EA's games on Linux. The app can be a little wonky sometimes, but it stabilizes and generally performs way better than Origin. Battlefield 4 also stopped stuttering when I switched to it. I don't use Steam, so maybe Proton currently has some issues with it that standalone Wine doesn't; shouldn't be too hard for the people contributing to Proton to work out, they do some excellent work.
SCS Software hope Euro Truck Simulator 2 has another 'decade of further growth'
