Linux users have no reason to worry about recent AMD GPU driver changes

Crazy that they would drop support for products that are only 2 years old, RDNA2 is from 2020 and some RDNA2 products lower in the stack are from 2023,such as the relatively unknown Radeon RX 6550S and Radeon RX 6550M and some China variants of the 6750. Nvidia still fully supports Turing in their Windows/Linux drivers and that's from 2018

I think I ran into the incorrect Steam Play thing when I purchased Forza Horizon 5, right after purchase it would tell me 'only available on Windows' and would refuse to install it, this was fixed after a restart

Bazzite using Fedora 43 is out now with full Xbox Ally / Xbox Ally X support

What an amazing update! I already updated everything to Bazzite 43 (AMD Desktop, Nvidia Laptop, Asus Ally X) and it works extremely well. Nothing seems broken and the new Bazaar is a joy, especially with those new pride progress bars :wub: This is the best experience I've ever had with upgrading across OS versions, compared to something like Kubuntu which would always partially break with upgrades. I already donated to them their new OpenCollective page because Bazzite has made my Linux gaming experience infinitely better and I'm grateful for that:heart:

Sorry Liam, but I'm at the point now when I want to puke whenever I read the word 'AI' this stupid bubble can't burst quickly enough

Ghost of Tsushima gets Steam Deck Verified as the devs push the multiplayer into a DLC

I would assume the Playstation overlay calls some Windows API that's not implemented in Wine/Proton, and that's why it's not working yet?

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will perform better on AMD GPUs with Mesa 26

Nice. I wouldn't say that the game is unplayable, but the drops down to 10fps are really annoying. It's a shame because performance is otherwise really good on AMD despite the Raytracing (~100fps with 7900XT and Supreme settings on my 1440p Ultrawide, and around 45-50ps with my Ally) Good to see this getting fixed :wub:

NVIDIA DLSS support in progress for NVK, the open source Vulkan driver for NVIDIA GPUs

Just like with FSR4 on RDNA3-, people were saying it couldn't be done and that it was impossible to implement because [].
Now this guy did it and proved us all wrong! :wub:

KDE's 29th anniversary is here and they need your funding

Happy Birthday KDE! I donated 150€ yesterday because these guys are awesome and deserve all our support. I likewise cannot imagine Linux without KDE, everything else feels clunky. And we've seen what happens when projects are too dependent on a single sponsor such as the Red Hat/Fedora situation and Fedora getting pressured to adopt AI now. In such times it's important to support independent projects to keep them alive forever so they can keep making great stuff:wub::wub::wub:

I also got a nice new Katie Avatar as a thank you for donating so it was worth it:heart:

GE-Proton 10-18 brings fixes for Wayland, Company of Heroes 2 & 3, Blue Protocol: Star Resonance

I was hoping this would fix the issue of being unable to install dotnet40+ into a Proton Prefix… but it still errors out with a fresh prefix and Proton GE 10.18. Right now there's a workaround that involves removing symlinking from files inside the prefix with vanilla Proton (with GE complains that dotnet is already installed), but it's complicated to do and it massively increases disk space https://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=38124 [External Link]
