NVIDIA announce a native Linux app for GeForce NOW

How nice of Nvidia to finally start making a native Linux app for Geforce NOW so that I can get back to playing some of the anticheat games I bought some time ago. Sure, I can use the browser but I rather they make a native version since it seems to run better when I last tried it on the Steam Deck.

I'm currently using CachyOS on my two machines and so far, it's been great and haven't really experienced any problems, even when updating it. I did have a machine that used Bazzite and it was fine for what it is but decided to make that one use Kazeta instead just to mess around with it.

You can never go wrong with a free expansion because if it disappoints, you didn't spend a dime on it to begin with.

Playnite may get a Linux version during 2026 as the creator plans a move to Linux

Playnite on Linux would be great since there's probably going to be more users that move from Windows to Linux that would like to have this program available because of the many features that they use on it.

Amazon Luna cloud gaming will get a refresh with a new social game system - and an AI powered game

I've never met a consumer that wanted AI. Ever. The most positive thing I've seen written, or heard said about AI is a disinterested "meh". And yet the enterprise/corporate world seems to be tripping over itself for the tech.
@scaine
For the enterprise/corporate world, any means of not paying someone to do the work that AI can do in a short amount of time is a win in their books.

Steam Survey for September 2025 is out and here's the Linux / SteamOS details

As expected, for Steam it continues to basically be two distros: arch (and derivatives) or ubuntu (and derivatives). Fedora gets in a couple percentage points but nothing huge.
@R Daneel Olivaw
Bazzite is Fedora based and has a 3.33% share but yeah, it's not anywhere close to the others.

This looks pretty cool and reminds me of the times at the arcade playing those awesome beat'em ups like The Punisher and Captain America and the Avengers.

Mixing retro Resident Evil vibes with a mystery dungeon, House of Necrosis arrives in October

If this were reminiscent of a Nintendo property rather than Capcom they'd be sued already. Not saying Capcom isn't going to do anything, but at least it isn't a complete certainty.
@tmtvl
From watching the video, I don't see Capcom really doing anything to the developer that made this game because it's not like they made a one to one copy of Resident Evil 1. Also, the game mechanics isn't the same at all because this is turned based and not in third person mode.

The closest game that Capcom could do something about is The Mute House but again, it's not an exact copy of Resident Evil and the developer hasn't been sued by the company.

DRAGON QUEST VII Reimagined announced for February 2026, already rated Steam Deck Playable
13 Sep 2025 at 1:41 pm UTC

I still remember to this day that Dragon Quest VII was the first game to be released outside of a Nintendo console and own a copy of the game, which is part of my collection. Despite not having the time to play the game back then, it was something I wanted to get back into and now, this announcement just reminded me about revisiting it again.
