Revelations 2 price is a clickbait, what matter is the price of the DLCs for this one.

The 8BitDo Retro Mechanical Keyboard looks awesome
5 Aug 2023 at 10:38 pm UTC

that is beautyfulll and all...
but the only thing i need in an keyboard is 10+ extra buttons that i can remap to do anything i want with a single button press instead of combination of keys.
not sure if im going to use 10 but extra buttons cant hurt, lack of buttons can.
linux especially would benefit from that.

Can we assume that it comes from an increase in military devices usage? 😰

Quoting: Purple Library GuyI note ChromeOS is at 4%. If only it ran, you know, programs.
looks like google will transform chromeOS into an real distro, less chrome and more linux on it

Quoting: SolarwingApparently the "birds" have flown around the globe and spread the word of free OS. I think Valve is somehow behind this increase as Linux gaming has been going up for sometime. It cannot be coincidence.I can say only this:fly Tux fly!The 4% is next!!!:smile:
there are 2 ads for flying penguins, one is made by BBC and other had the same visuals and was about linux, im not sure if both had an licence to use the images

Linux overtakes macOS users on Steam thanks to Steam Deck

Quoting: Klaas
Quoting: GuestI wonder how many "Linux Deck" users would use Linux outside of the Deck.
Probably not as many at the start, but when I've looked at the Steam Deck reddit, there were many people that said that they were scared at first and then it was easier than they expected. That is exactly what we need. There is a lot of false knowledge and fear spread around by MS and lets call them influencers.
to be fair, part of their fear is... justified, just not updated.
linux had many issues back in the days, windows had even more, but they know about the issues that windows had that were solved and they dont know about the linux evolution

For Honor from Ubisoft gets an anti-cheat update - now Playable on Steam Deck

Quoting: minidouThey've done it.

Valve has made every publisher consider the Linux audience. This is only going to get better now.
too soon, we are talking about just a few big publishers, not to mention even nintendo and sony had trouble geting support from thirdy parties in the past.

at the best we can secure the next 5~7 years of games working/being relased on linux and all old games that we already have.
but even if we get that, there is no guarantee of what we will have afterwards. (i mean when the next console gen start)

i liked the sakuga at the begining and the character design reminds me of swat cats (or maybe samurai pizza cats?)
but they need to show more gameplay, changing the level all the time didnt did any favor for this trailer.

looks cool
