KDE Plasma 6.7 gets per-screen virtual desktops and Wayland session management
20 Apr 2026 at 11:46 am UTC Likes: 8

KWin now supports the Wayland session management protocol! This is an important step for apps to be able to remember their sizes and positions after restarting the system.
Thank God, I really could use that feature! Having to rearrange my Firefox windows every day is really annoying.

Quite happy to see that. 😊
Also this is the first time after me switching to Linux exclusively that Steam bothered to include me. So I'll proudly claim that the recent increase is partly my doing. Look Ma, I'm on TV! πŸ˜†

Quoting: rea987Well, ETQW was released in 2007, I guess it's old enough. πŸ˜†
Everything from Doom3 onwards is new stuff in my book. πŸ˜„ Maybe it's the fact that I am getting old, maybe it's that I was quite disappointed by Doom3, but for me it marks the point in time where games are not retro any more.

Damn I am really getting old. πŸ˜‚

edit: I might need to replay Heretic 2 with this... πŸ˜†

DG2: Defense Grid 2 - Aftermath DLC finally comes to PC

Quoting: UltraVioleti have the game on Playstation / XBox / Switch / Steam put about 100-ish hours into each platform. i love this genre but apart from this and the first game i've yet to play a better tower defence game. if anyone knows of better or just as good tower defence games i'd love to play them.
It's a different kind of TD, as you don't shape the paths, but the Kingdom Rush games are all pretty good IMHO.
They are at a reduced price on Steam right now.
