Steam UI scaling should work even better in the latest Beta
17 Jun 2023 at 7:12 am UTC

Unfortunately Steam stills runs through XWayland so mixed-scale display setups will still have a blurry Steam client. This change is nice of the default Steam client text is a bit too small for you, though.

If you're on Plasma Wayland and have just 1 display and it's scaled, then this paired with KDE's XWayland scaling option should mitigate any sizing issues.

Wine and Wayland take another step closer with more code merged

Been using KDE Plasma Wayland for gaming for well over a year now to use my mixed-scale + mixed-refresh-rate setup. Wayland support won't immediately fix it, but I'm looking forward to hopefully eventual scaling support on Wine. Most applications that I use apart from Steam run Wayland native and look nice and crisp at my 150% scaling, looking forward to the same being true for Wine applications, and being able to run games at native resolution as well - though I remember an Xwayland MR that implemented this for fullscreen Xwayland windows.

Iris and Sodium for Minecraft move to Modrinth away from CurseForge

Modrinth is pretty great, maybe this will give CurseForge the push it needs to improve.

Also, Iris and Sodium are pretty great. Fantastic open source alternatives to Optifine that I have come to prefer.
