Wow...
I literally was not waiting for a proper release any longer!
This actually had many of its maps added to Quake Live's rotation back in the days, that's how I got to know the project and its custom Quake 2 engine in the first place, which was pretty widely used among Action Quake 2 community
Can't wait to give it a proper shot!

I am pleased to notice this is not an EA or Ubisoft game! Now we're talking.
A future Wine release could use Zink to run OpenGL via Vulkan

Last time I played through Wolfenstein: The New Order, which is OpenGL only, I had some (rare) stability issues, despite RadeonSI being very mature and stable in general.
Switching to Zink got rid of the crashes, so I guess even today with quite recent games it can prove very useful.
After all, having all and every API translating to Vulkan is an ideal situation (at leat from my point of view)

Quoting: rea987Up until your comment I never considered this game as "legacy," but since you're mentioning it...Quoting: omer666Well that's good news, because it was the last legacy id software related game that was missing a source portEnemy Territory: Quake Wars begs to differ. 😬

GNOME 50 released with much improved Parental Controls and lots more

Instead users are encouraged to use the dash in activity view for apps and favourites/bookmarks for their files.
I love GNOME and I use it on my main machine, but I understand it can be troublesome to use for some.
Quite fortunately KDE these days is getting really polished too, and I've got to admit, I like them both a lot. If I was a new user I would have a hard time choosing between those two...

Quoting: shadowofwardThe last time i tried gnome i couldn't even make a short cut on the desktop has this been changed?GNOME's design choice is not having desktop icons at all, so that isn't going to change any time soon...

Building a Retro Linux Gaming Computer Part 51: It’s Not Easy Being Green

I had an MX 400 but that was in a PowerMac G4 Superdrive.
It was the very first proper GPU I ever owned, and as an OEM offering, it was very capable.
I ended up replacing it with the mighty ATI Radeon 8500 which was in another league...
My Linux PC at the time was a Pentium III too, but it was equipped with a Matrox G200, which I was very satisfied with. I don't really remember what kind of performance I was getting though...
[Edit] Or maybe it was a G400... now I can't remember 😅

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.
