Unity announce expanded support for Steam, Native Linux, Steam Deck and Steam Machine
12 Mar 2026 at 4:01 am UTC Likes: 4
Quoting: GustyGhostI've been playing Linux native games (Unity, no less) that I had bought ten years ago without any issue. What is there left to improve?
Apparently, the quality of unity's opengl and vulkan support.

Denuvo has been removed from DRAGON QUEST I & II HD-2D Remake
11 Mar 2026 at 3:59 am UTC
Not sure if I am imagining things, but to me the dragon quest hd-2d games feel more like sprites plopped in 3d worlds rather than the pop-up 2d world aesthetics of octopath.

I'm all for making game development easier and accessible - but at what cost.
Chucking in a slopper does nothing to make development easier and accessible.
KDE Linux gets performance improvements, new default apps and goes all-in on Flatpak

Quoting: BrokattGraham did say that while they felt Snap actually works "better than Flatpak in some ways"

Controversial opinion. I hope his mailbox is all right...

Jokes aside, I'm glad things are moving along for KDE Linux. It's not something I'm personally interested in, but I imagine it's great for KDE devs. Hopefully it's something one could recommend for those who are KDE curios (Kurious?). Maybe we'll even get to see some devices with it pre-installed in the future?
"In some ways" being the operative phrase here.

Snaps have had their chance to leave a good impression, and canonical messed that up by shoving them into ubuntu lts's when they weren't ready.

"At this time, we won't be able to comment publicly on our internal processes or tools. However, we’re aware of the conversations happening around this topic and the assumptions that can go with it."
Communications like that will work wonders on "assumptions", I am sure.
GPD release their own statement on the confusion with Bazzite Linux support

Hope it doesn't sour them from officially supporting linux distro's.

Guess that the lesson to be learned is that one shouldn't be too quick to jump on a new distro's bandwagon.

On a completely unrelated sidenote, I am hearing good things about opensuse tumbleweed on gpdwin devices.

If you don't find it worth spending the effort on, why even bother with an image?

It's not as if the site isn't already plastered with images. Imo, it could do with a good makeover that removes the vast majority of them. Bonus points for a cli-retro-style with all of them removed.

On the upside, one can play the original trilogy, including multiplayer, via the native aleph one open source engine.
Valve tweak Steam AI disclosure form for developers to clarify it's for content consumed by players

Code is supposed to shove numbers around. It's outcome can be defined. And tested.
That's is like judging literature on the basis of shopping lists.

The way the numbers are juggled and how those methods affect the end result are as much part of the artistic process as any other choice of medium.
KDE Plasma 6.7 will have a global push-to-talk feature
19 Jan 2026 at 2:14 pm UTC
Unfortunately, I still don't get along with plasma.

Which is weird, as more than half of the software I use is still coming from kde's stables.

For example, just today I discovered that kwrite has a vi mode.
