Wayland Colour Management and HDR Protocol finally merged
13 Feb 2025 at 4:29 pm UTC

Now we only need a proper HDR industry standard. ;-)

Speaking of Wayland: Does anyone know of any tools or hacks to create multiple custom resolutions for old CRT-monitors, yet? Would be a shame to lose that functionality with the transition to Wayland.

Blocking Linux / Steam Deck in Apex Legends led to a 'meaningful reduction' in cheaters

One could measure the miniscule actual change in steepness of allready ongoing decline after the Linux ban and discuss how within a week the infection rate is already about halfway up again...but why bother. Just look up the graph for the player numbers.
Funny how the drop and rise of the "infected" matches follows the the curve of players actually playing the game in that week.

RT-only...hahah....nope already!
Still trying to annoy me with story cut-scenes in a Doom game...still no!
We gave up on balancing a fun experience ourselves and give you some sliders so you can do the work yourself...probably for the better giving your track record, but still another no for laziness!

and WTF does that even mean ? -> Storage Capacity: 512GB or higher NVME SSD (100GB Available)

Give your Steam Deck a refreshed look with these new Razer skins

Do we need to wait for OpenRazer integration or does it work OOTB?

Steam Controller 2 is apparently a thing and being 'tooled for a mass production' plus a new VR controller

Would still buy without since I loved the first one but if I had a wish: a bit of proper haptic feedback would be nice. Dualsensense is fantastic when the game supports it.

Quoting: MohandevirBud Spencer & Terence Hill - Slaps & Beans games.

Everytime I think about these games I have this, on my face:

:grin:
Well, I alredy have the same expression every time I see them on my wishlist. Guess, it"s actually not a bad idea to get some more projects of the kind rolling. *thumbs up*

Epic Games reduce their cut for Unreal Engine games for same-day Epic Store launches

Wait, that Freeware site is actually selling games?
Cool, never noticed. Once I played through the 450 or so Windows only titles they gave me for free, that I did not have time to touch, yet, I might give it a try. Do they offer proton integration, controller remapping and native Linux support for the games they actually sell like other stores do?

GNOME 47 'Denver' released with Accent Colours and various System Enhancements

Quoting: Guest... To me, keyboard. Gnome feels far better and faster than trying to point and click/poke everything.
But you can do that with just about every DE out there, meanwhile, I never managed to figure out how to even navigate the weird menu system with keyboard only in GNOME. Or are you using the console to get things done?

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War and Dawn of War II get free Anniversary Edition upgrades

So they relabeled the GOY editon to Anniversary edition and doubled the price? Or am I missing something?

KDE Plasma 6.2 adding a pop-up for donations, plus they want to make a next-generation KDE OS

Quoting: eldakingHmm, as much as asking for donations is perfectly fine and good (I'd consider a distro removing such a benign request to be very rude, almost hostile)... I don't think a system notification is the right place for it. I'd rather have it all the time in the login screen than having it pop up as a notification, even once per year. Having a static donate button somewhere in the settings would be better than a daemon to show a scheduled ad.
Agreed, login screen all year would be fine - they could even offer some alternative styles as customization options as a fun intractable gimmick, but popups however sparse ...make me... not be in a good mood. Which might not be the best time to ask for a well deserved donation.
