Plasma 5.27 Beta live with Flatpak settings, multi-monitor upgrade, SteamOS updater
22 Jan 2023 at 6:11 pm UTC

Oh. Cool. If that actually fixes my issues with multi monitor I probably will switch back to KDE.

I am fine with Gnome now, though, input lag in windowed mode sucks (works perfectly well in fullscreen).

I'll give it a try, probably my stint with Gnome will end with F38 releasing. Will depend on if updates in discover work properly too (had strange issues there on F36.

Bluetooth support for the Stadia Controller is now live

Okay, that worked pretty neatly from my Work PC with Edge on it.

Though, I'm quite shocked that Steam still has issues with controller configurations not saving etc., it's been years...

Hmh, 1300 isn't that much actually. I wonder if there will be ones with german keyboard layouts :D.

Xfce 4.18 desktop is finally here

I could never properly use XFCE for their buggy multiple monitor support (in regards of properly setting primary screens when they are the same monitor type).

Will give this one a shot, even though I am pretty happy with gnome nowdays.

I'd prefer if they fixed the primary-screen bug...

The best Linux distribution for gaming in 2023
1 Dec 2022 at 8:49 pm UTC

I agree. I've used Linux for 24 years now, and Ubuntu is no bad choice for new users wanting a trouble-free experience. Not my choice, but that does not matter.

I have not had a lot of issues with Fedora either, just upgraded form 36 to 37, but actually, no tooling for nvidia drivers etc. really makes it a no-choice for new linux users wanting to play games, browse the web and do their work.

I couldn't even use my desktop properly with open drivers yet having an NVidia card, and having to deal with monitor selections and really lagging graphics, if I didn't know the reason I'd have immediately uninstalled it again.

Fedora Linux 37 is out now with official Raspberry Pi 4 support

Been running F37 since beta, it's smooth so far. Had a few hickups during beta, but they got sorted out and I did not have any issues since it got close to release.

Vulkan-based D3D9, 10 and 11 translation layer DXVK version 2.0 out now

Quoting: YoRHa-2B
Quoting: mr-victoryNow Imwait for stable Proton to pick this up...
FWIW Proton 7.0 won't get this since we don't want to bump the hw/driver requirements on a stable release. Next major update should have it though, and this has basically been in Experimental for quite some time now.
And it helps. It really reduces stuttering in games a lot for me. An example would be moving on horse preloading in KCD: Deliverance (maybe shadows/foilage?) and I think in God of War, since I had odd stutters but using a new nvidia driver and experimental they disappear.

May be a coincident though. I doubt it, since those were very prominent and they magically disappeared.

AMD announce RX 7900 XTX and RX 7900 XT, plus FSR3 teased

Quoting: STiATCards should get a rating on how loud they are.
I wouldn't buy a reference card, noise being one of the reasons. AMD partners like Sapphire generally make better cooled and more silent designs since they need to differentiate in something.
That's exactly why I'd like that information ;-). Not only of a reference design but all cards, since for me that can be an argument for a card. A big one to be true.
