Now we just need 3DMark and the hardware benchmarking/stress testing suite would be virtually complete on Linux!

I installed Bazzite on my ROG Ally X after obliterating preinstalled Windows and it works really well! I'm genuinely impressed with this distro. Nice to see it continue to get better! :heart::wub:

Sunshine game stream host for Moonlight gets security fixes, Linux improvements and more features

Sunshine completely stopped working for me. The deb package was never supported on Ubuntu 25 and just generates errors when you try to install it. The devs recommend 'self compiling it' as a fix :cry:
And flathub package used to work on KDE Wayland but doesn't anymore.

I feel like Linux still needs a lot of work to be viable as an application platform, because my experience is that stuff constantly breaks. All the time. And then you have to wait for a fix, if it even is ever fixed

Steam update brings accessibility settings and Proton enabled by default to make Linux gaming simpler

You might find it useful but that warning was causing headache for tons of people who wondered why their games couldn't be installed on Linux, even going so far as deterring people from switching to it. And BTW you can still go to the game properties > compatibility to set whether a game should use Proton or the Steam Linux Runtime

Steam update brings accessibility settings and Proton enabled by default to make Linux gaming simpler

Calm down, this change does not even affect Native games. You can still not use Proton for Native and I believe it's even the default for most titles. All that this change was about is improving the UX on Linux and getting rid of the 'available for Windows only' warning next to every title that did not have Native build
