^ Have her clients not transitioned to QBO? Or does she just use qb herself only to run her business? I myself run my llc through waveapps.com which is free and have had no issues at all for years.

^ Totally agree. And this update is absolutely massive! Love it! Might have to go have a reinstall.

Love seeing effort into campaigns like this! I do wish this page was a lot better though:

For an "average person" this is not helpful at all.

There needs to be step by step instructions. Telling someone to "go search for stuff yourself" will probably do more harm than good. People will see endless arguments about what is the best distro, vastly different suggestion listicles, etc... And then they will just give up.

If there could be like three suggestions:

option1 - the beginner - mint - here's a step by step
option2 - the intermediate - fedora - here's a step by step
option3 - the advanced - arch - here's a step by step

that's just a guess off the top of my head, but that would actually be helpful.

Valve announce SteamOS Compatibility ratings, an extension of Steam Deck Verified for more devices

Totally agree with others: they should just DO protondb. Either buy them and just take it over as official, or do exactly the same. The current "deck verified" is totally worthless. I absolutely love steam, but this whole thing is such a self inflicted wound, I hate to see them keep doing it. Cmon valve, do better!

I was just wondering about this last week. Very nice!!!

KDE Plasma drops LTS releases but will do extra bug fix releases, along with a new Steam-like hardware survey

I'm not using kde anylonger, but these changes all sound really good to me. I hope they do follow through with the two release cycle.

Steam Survey for April 2025 results available, Linux sits at 2.27%

Interesting not to see fedora on there ... this is apparently what comes from protondb:

which is mostly similar, but with the notable difference of fedora?

Thank you and our wonderful community for doing everything that you do!!!! This is one of my favorite sites on the entire internet, and more and more and more I think we need places like this. I really miss the community features from the site (but totally understand why) but it doesn't diminish my interest in participating and reading everything here!

Liam, ever thought about a subscription to GOL for us readers instead of donations?

Trese bro's are S level devs, so please ... take your time and do whatever you think is necessary. I've had this game installed/updating for YEARS now but not playing, just waiting, and following along with updates. To say this would be one of my topmost upcoming games would be an understatement.
