NVIDIA 565.77 stable driver for Linux released
5 Dec 2024 at 5:30 pm UTC

What is the added value today for Linux users to buy a Nvidia?
To my point of view and Linux gamer experience, it appears to me today more comfortable to use a AMD GPU, because of his better integration with Linux Mesa/Kernel.

The best Linux distribution for gaming in 2025

To my point of view Debian, Ubuntu and all Debian-like distributions could not be adviced for gaming.
For gaming on Linux in good conditions, you need recent libraries and apps.
That's one of the reasons I quit Ubuntu for Manjaro/Arch, with Flatpak and rolling release, you always have recent libraries and apps installed.
On another computer I installed OpenSuse Tumbelweed and I'm very satisfy too for gaming.

Weren;t there some engines like that in the past ?
Stratagus and Wargus ?
Stratagus is the strategy game engine, Wargus is the "Warcraft II" client and War1gus "Warcraft I" client.
There is even a Starcraft client called Stargus.
All are still in development: https://github.com/Wargus [External Link]

I bought "Battle Chest® - Warcraft® Remastered" on Batlle.Net and I don't regret it, for an interesting price, you have:

Warcraft® I: Remastered
Warcraft® II: Remastered
Warcraft® III: Reforged (+ Spoils of War bonus)
Warcraft®: Orcs & Humans
Warcraft® II: Battle.net® Edition

And all are compatible out the box with Wine (I use Battle.Net on Lutris).
I advice this pack for all Warcraft fan.

2K Launcher is finally no more - that's at least one publisher making things better for gamers

Quoting: legluondunetIf only Steam had the courage to force Ubisoft and other video game publishers not to use their own launcher when selling their games on Steam, Steam being the launcher. I don't want a launcher in a launcher in a launcher...#inception It generates potential additional technical problems and it uses resources for nothing.
I'm really happy they don't.
I'm pretty sure that would be anti-competative and monopolistic behavior.
It costs resources, but it comes from a good place.
Steam has already what a second launcher like Ubisoft or...gives:
- DRM protection
- discussions
- achievements
- Steam workshop
- tchat
...

When you sell a game on Steam, editors should use Steam tools.

VI does not need only a remake, but it's a game to fully rebuild, the actual state is an unfinished project.

PlayStation 1 emulator DuckStation changes license for no commercial use and no derivatives
17 Sep 2024 at 7:30 pm UTC

The best PS1 emulator, code is still available on Github, so we can still compile it from sources and dev still provides appimage and flatpak packages, so I don't think it will change a lot of things for end user like me.
I read dev comments but i still don't understand why he bothered to change licence...
