Sisyphus-ass dev. What a chad.

KDE Plasma 6.6 released with improved accessibility, new on-screen keyboard and lots more

Quoting: Purple Library GuyBut it doesn't seem to be available in any distros as user friendly as Mint. One of these days I'll give it another look.
Fedora KDE is user friendly. Not having Nvidia drivers pre-installed ≠ not-user friendly. Windows comes without drivers pre-installed as well and people think that OS is user friendly. There's no harm in websearching "install nvidia drivers fedora Linux" and learning a thing or two about package management in the process. It's good practice long term.

Could say this about a lot of Linux projects, or just any open source project really, but Plasma is the gift that keeps on giving. No enshittification, just continuous improvements. We can't stop winning.

Overwatch might be trash but I have to give it up to Blizzard for being one of the few devs on earth to do anti-cheat right (server-side).

Discord attempt to put out the fires with a clarification over new age verification

Perhaps this is the wake-up slap that capable devs need to realize relying on a proprietary surveillance tool was bad from the start, and that a proper alternative can be developed.

GPD release their own statement on the confusion with Bazzite Linux support
30 Jan 2026 at 5:02 pm UTC Likes: 2

Glad I went ahead and read the former Bazzite dev's response, as before that this whole saga seemed like the most worthless thing, but the post made me realize it probably wasnt a good idea to promote such a newface (and apparently shaky) Linux distro to the incoming masses.

Heroic Games Launcher v2.19 released adding ZOOM Platform, AppImage updates and more

Quoting: eggroleYou can install them fine with Heroic. It is as simple as Add Game -> Select Executable (or installer) and go.
I simply haven't been as lucky, or maybe I should give it a try again. To me it feels like Lutris is more reliable when installing games. Or it could be the Proton version I'm using being the culprit... Which one do you use to install games on Heroic ?

XFCE would probably be my second choice after KDE. I really like its super lightweight and functional focus.
