Quoting: tuubiDid you read the rest of the article below the image?
Yes, the rest of the article doesn't say what to do to bring up that information from the webpage, only how to configure a browser to display it.
You're right. I assume it's the blue "Learn more" button under the STEAM DECK COMPATIBILITY header, visible in the background in the top right corner of Liam's shot of the new tablet mode.

on store pages there's a whole new Steam Deck compatibility section that you can bring up like so:
How? You've shown what the browser looks like once you've brought it up, not how to bring it up! How do you see the Steam Deck compatibility section?

Linux Mint 20.3 is out with theme adjustments, Document Manager, Dark Mode
17 Jan 2022 at 9:08 am UTC

Quoting: PangaeaUpdate went smooth here. Can't say I've noticed anything particularly different, except there is a notification about changing to usrmerge, which I haven't done yet.
The biggest change I noticed were the slightly different Xfce/Xfwm title bars. :grin:
The usr change is quick and safe, don't worry about it.

On my wife's workstation the update took a bit more work, but that was all down to AMD's ROCm (OpenCL driver) being a pain in the butt.

Quoting: GuppyFor those of you who braved the update - when you to "update manager" -> view -> kernels ( -> make the warning go away ) is 5.15 on the list yet or is it still capped at 5.13 ?
Ubuntu's "hwe-edge" kernel for 20.04 is still 5.13, so that's the latest series available in the default repositories. You'll have to go for something like a mainline kernel if that's not fresh enough.

I've been running xanmod kernels [External Link] (package linux-xanmod-edge) for the last couple of years without issue. Currently 5.15.13, but I suppose it'll be 5.16 soon.

Mozilla looking to improve Twitch playback in Firefox

certain areas seemingly at random fail to load
Yeah, I get that as well. Also video occasionally just doesn't load and requires a refresh of the page. In an attempt to de-Google my life, I've switched fully to Firefox and it's been a MOSTLY good experience.
These problems were part of the reason I used Streamlink Twitch GUI [External Link] (with mpv/chatty) for Twitch streams, back before I stopped using Twitch completely. It wasn't perfect, but it was nicer than using the browser. Now the only streamer I watch regularly uses Owncast [External Link] and it's a much nicer experience for me than Twitch ever was.

KDE finally gets root operations in Dolphin, big 2022 plans for Wayland

Quoting: CyborgZetaCan someone explain root access for Dolphin? When I needed to add udev rules for Steam in my EndeavourOS install, I had to put it in a folder in root, and I had to use the terminal to move it to said folder. Does this update mean I could drag-and-drop without needed the terminal?
Yes, it would ask for a password and then let you do it.
Thanks. That's way more convenient for me. I have no problem using the terminal, but when it comes to moving files around I'm very old-fashioned.
Not that old fashioned if you prefer to use one of these newfangled graphical file manager thingamajigs. :wink:

The Steam Winter Sale 2021 is now live

Not if you buy them via Steam's Linux client, I'm pretty sure.

You can read more on the GOL wiki.

The classic Naev, a free and open source space sim version 0.9 released
27 Dec 2021 at 9:11 am UTC

Quoting: syxbitThere's currently no voice acting, but will be in a future update. To me, high quality voice acting is an integral part of point and click adventure games.
Did you mean to comment on some other article? I see a "Visual novel system for new missions" in the feature list, but I don't think Naev is anything like a point and click adventure game for the most part. :huh:

Linux Mint 20.3 'Una' gets a Beta release

Quoting: slaapliedjeBut I think 21.04 came with 5.15. Updated to 21.10, and I think it still uses 5.15.
Linux 5.15 is the current stable kernel release and it only came out on the 31st of October. 21.04 had Linux 5.11 according to distrowatch.
