Manjaro Linux looks like it's in trouble with the release of the "Manjaro 2.0 Manifesto"

Quoting: scaineI still miss Pamac though. I haven't looked to see if it's portable to a generic Arch install.
it's available via the AUR. pamac-all is probably the one you want

Here's some of the most-played demos during Steam Next Fest - February 2026 edition
2 Mar 2026 at 5:02 pm UTC

played a round of Lexispell (fun, but lacking depth and variety in demo form), Scope Creep to the demo's end (simple incremental game with a good theme IMO), and EvoCreo 2 until 3 evolutions and completion of the available quests (twist on classic pokemon games with a slightly more involved energy/ability system). I'll have to check out some of these other popular demos.

Discord is about to require age verification for everyone

Quoting: WMan22This is gonna suck because there is no other platform that is as fully featured as discord is. Trust me, I really looked.
Root App and Stoat Chat (formerly Revolt Chat) are the two that seem most comparable to me. somehow Root App isn't even listed on AlternativeTo (also who is handling UI/design over there, what a mess). Stoat seems like it's having growing pains. just heard of Root for the first time today and it looks like Discord for more seriously structured gaming communities, but I'm guessing you can ignore/avoid/disable those features for a very Discord-like experience. I'll be testing and sharing with my friends this week in case we decide to jump ship away from Discord.

Monster-catching, dungeon-crawling RPG Siralim Ultimate gets a big 2.0 update

amazing game, have it on Steam and iOS, few hundred hours clocked on my save file. super deep theory crafting of Rube Goldberg-esque team compositions to cause chain reactions for start of battle one-shots or exponential damage scaling or near invulnerability. strongly recommend for anyone that likes creature-collecting turn-based RPGs.

Whisker Squadron: Survivor does a barrel roll with Star Fox and survivor-likes smashed together - out now

been dreaming up maybe developing a game like this, even with a similar theme (rat protagonists against cats). may have to take a look at this (and Ex-Zodiac from the other comment).

ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN launches in May - will have Kernel Level Anti-Cheat

why does a purely PvE game with no player-to-player economy need anti-cheat at all??

Popular game launcher Playnite will get Linux support but it's still a while away

there was a reddit discussion not long ago looking for Playnite alternatives. lots of people liked Cartridges and Pegasus Frontend; both are available on FlatHub and GitHub.
