ProtonUp-Qt adds support for Wine manager app Bottles

This is good. For whatever reason the Wine-GE versions are weeks out of date in Bottles.

Hangs perpetually while loading for me. Doesn't even crash, just hangs forever.

Fedora Linux 36 is officially out now

Quoting: iWeaker4YouGNOME Files looks inconsistent, they would have implemented GTK 4 patches just like Ubuntu 22.04 did, so it doesn't look "out of tune"
Nautilus simply hasn't been ported to GTK4 yet, check here [External Link].

What you're seeing on Ubuntu is the Yaru theme which you can install on Fedora with the following command:

sudo dnf in yaru-theme

and change it via GNOME Tweaks.

Alternatively you can install the GTK3 port the of the Libadwaita theme here [External Link] if you want a more native look.

I've been getting performance issues on Arch lately (intermittent micro stuttering), I switched to Fedora and it stopped. I love the idea of Arch (building your perfect OS from scratch, no unnecessary bloat), but lately I've had a better experience on a finely crafted experience like Fedora, which still has less bloat than most + uses up-to-date packages.

Xbox Games Studios talk up more of their games on Steam Deck

So why aren't they enabling Wine support on Halo MCC (EAC)? Also why is their Arbiter anti-cheat not Wine compatible? And why isn't Game Pass on Steam? Come on Microsoft.

Steam Simfest: Hobby Edition is live until April 4

PowerWash Simulator is a weird game. It's one of the few games I can play for hours at a time and quite often I'm so into it I barely blink and I end up with insanely bloodshot eyes. It's like the game is hypnotizing me.

How about do some stuff that tangibly helps the Linux community like adding the Game Pass to steam and making Arbiter anti-cheat work with Wine.

Even Xbox Game Studios are talking about Steam Deck compatibility

Imagine they brought Xbox Game Pass to steam, that would be huge.
