The free Counter-Strike 2 soundtrack [External Link] also dropped recently for anyone who's interested.

Cinnamon 6.0 for Linux Mint 21.3 to have 'experimental' Wayland support

This is cool, but hopefully it works well enough to actually use though. lol

I was considering switching to Kubuntu, but my audio with it has crackling. While in Linux Mint it just works straight away with no troubleshooting or fixes. It might not be a big deal to fix, but I'd rather use a distro that works better straight away (even with something small like that).

METAL GEAR SOLID: MASTER COLLECTION Vol.1 is quite broken on Steam Deck / Linux

It's pretty shit on all platforms apparently and is a barebones job. But for anyone who's interested, someone got a port of the first Metal Gear Solid running on the Sega Saturn [External Link]. Hideo Kojima did like the Sega Saturn though, and wanted to bring a localization of Policenauts to it in the west.

Thanks for the heads up on this Liam. I own most of the GOG and Epic ones already, but I gave the codes to my friends who don't have Prime.

I didn't own The Textorcist though, but it's a shame that its DLC isn't also on sale. Cause I'd have bought it otherwise. So onto the GOG wishlist that DLC goes. lol

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 adds offline support for Steam Deck

Article picture made me think of the opening movie on the first Tony Hawk game straight away, and that in turn made me think of Police Truck by the Dead Kennedys [External Link]. Such a great song.

Steering wheel manager Oversteer v0.8.0 adds new hardware support

Quoting: leillo1975
Quoting: Linux_RocksI've got a Logitech GT wheel for the PS2/PS3. I know it works on PC, but this software gives me an excuse to try it out on Linux.

*insert joke about Thrustmaster here* ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
It will probably work with the Linux Kernel, but it will only activate the constant force. To enable the other effects needed to enjoy most car games you will need to install new-lg4ff, from the same developer as oversteer (berarma): https://github.com/berarma/new-lg4ff#new-lg4ff-for-linux [External Link]
Thanks for the heads up!
