The Linux distribution I was most thankful for in 2020 - EndeavourOS
6 Jan 2021 at 10:20 am UTC

I also really love mint, but I did dabble in LMDE for a while to avoid the 2 year reinstall cycle, but I found that it wasn't really up to date enough for my needs, but it was pretty stable though and pretty lightweight in terms of resources.
I have used manjaro on other machines in the past so I might give EndeavourOS a whirl next time I need to do a fresh install.

Sony to officially support the PS5 DualSense on Linux with a new driver
28 Dec 2020 at 4:08 pm UTC

Quoting: LinasI wonder what the motivation of Sony is? Their consoles do not run Linux, and they only have a few games published on Steam. Has Sony done anything out of kindness of their heart ever?
Well I had linux running on my fat PS3 for a while, just out of curiosity really.
Sony eventually dropped support for that but its interesting that they allowed it for a while. Their console OS is based on BSD I believe so they are *nix-like.

I was lucky and managed to get a PS5 on the launch day in the UK.
The dual sense controller is definitely the best one I've ever used.
The directional vibration is amazing.

The weekend round-up: tell us what play button you've been clicking recently
9 Aug 2020 at 9:05 am UTC

Quoting: CFWhitmanI also fooled around with Eye of the Beholder from the GOG sale recently
If you liked Eye of the beholder and Dungeon master also check out The Legend of Grimrock (native linux) and The Legend of Grimrock 2 (platinum proton) as they are more modern interpretations and just as good if not better.

What play button have you been clicking on lately?
