My GOTY would be Doom The Dark Ages, but at the same time it's the only game released in 2025 that I bought😅

Given the quality of Nvidia's latest low-power GPUs, I wouldn't expect too much from an RTX iGPU... in raw power at least.

Looks like EA wants to live the SimCity fiasco over and over again...

AMDVLK has been discontinued as AMD are throwing their "full support" behind RADV

It was released a month ago, but it's not in the main stable repos and I don't have time for testing software any more... hence why I switched from Arch a good while ago now.

Also using Arch I learned the hard way that the first couple of releases of a new version aren't stable enough for daily use, despite being deemed "stable" in their own development process.

@_Mars in my experience, that's already done.
Playing Doom The Dark Ages on mesa 25.0 was a slideshow on the 3rd level and required me to install amdvlk, but when mesa 25.1 showed up in Fedora repositories, performance was on par with amdvlk - and that's using an RX 6600. I wonder if mesa 25.2 improves this even further, but I guess we'll get the answer when Fedora 43 hits our SSDs :happy:

Valve confirm that Steam purchases with PayPal have been limited to a few select currencies

Unfortunately, Wero is far from ideal, as you need to use either Android with Google Play Store or an iPhone... As a GrapheneOS user not willing to install the Google Play Services, for the time being it is quite useless to me.
Let's hope they offer an open source implementation one day, in the mean time there is still no real alternative to Paypal, other than going credit card only - which I might end up doing.

Heretic + Hexen get a definitive re-release with new content from id Software and Nightdive Studios

I remember being like 10 years old, launching Hexen demo on my PowerMac, getting warnings for blood and gore, and discovering the loading screen consisting of two skulls left and right and the progression bar being a spine slowly linking the two of them. Along with the music, that was like coming across a forbidden game...

I hope they don't mess it up, because 30 bucks for a wide-screen patch is a bit on the expensive side...

Fedora Linux devs discuss dropping 32-bit packages - potentially bad news for Steam gamers

To me, this only means more work for RPMfusion, which means "same as before but unofficial," as most RPMfusion contributors are also Fedora package maintainers... So this decision would actually increase maintainers burden, but at the same time would bring awareness around the subject.

Either way I don't think we are going to be forced to change distro, but I could be wrong...
