NVIDIA 580.142 released for Linux - the new recommended driver
11 Mar 2026 at 5:21 pm UTC Likes: 1

Quoting: CaldathrasInteresting. I was forced to 580 from the 550 series. Wasn't given a choice. Based on the link below, Nvidia no longer supports the 550 series, by the way:

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/unix/
To do that I had to drop my kernel to 6.14 (which is now also unsupported I think) and remove one line from the code. But any drive above that messes up my VR (among other things), so it has to be done.

Quoting: tarmo888Godot has Linux ARM64 and even ARM32 in the UI and you don't even need ARM hardware.
Cool! I know what I have to do. 😁

Quoting: tarmo888Confused. Only 2 paths for standalone Frame apps? Does that mean there will be no native Linux ARM apps? Through Lepton is as native as we get?
It's more a case that most devs are unlikely to do Native Linux builds.
I don't even think there is a game engine that exports native Linux arm builds. Although they should be there for mac, so who knows what can happen in the future.

NVIDIA 580.142 released for Linux - the new recommended driver

Quoting: hardpenguinHmmmmmm Debian Sid has only 550, the Experimental repository has 555, and the official NVIDIA apt repository has... 590.

I think I'll stick to the older driver as long as everything works. Although jumping on the bleeding edge is tempting, as always.
I've tried drivers up to 585 and always returned to 550 because of too many issues. So sticking with the older driver definitely not the worst idea.

Performing Right Society (PRS) sues Valve over video game music

Quoting: BloodScourgedouble-dip? 🤔
The music industry has been the front runner for double dipping for decades. And while they say it's to protect "the artists", I highly doubt that the artists would see any notable income from it.

Slay the Spire 2 becomes the biggest roguelike deck-builder on Steam ever
7 Mar 2026 at 11:59 am UTC Likes: 1

Slay the Spire was one of those games that despite being single player had this slowly increasing player base (not counting short peaks of course) that went up to 20k peak daily players. This is what happens when that collection of regular players dives onto the new thing.

The unintended flex by the devs on twitter towards Marathon was absolutely hilarious though.

Transport Fever 3 confirmed for Linux and macOS support

I guess they already did all the work for the previous games and keep making use of the work they did to get a multiplatform engine. Good to see. Was interested regardless, but native will surely hasten my purchase.

NVIDIA Beta driver 595.45.04 released for Linux - looks to be an exciting one

Quoting: JohnologueCan't hear the NVIDIA updates over the fans of my perfectly functional GTX 1070...
But... but ... how is nvidia supposed to survive if you don't use their new vibe coded drivers?

Oh dear - ARC Raiders was logging your private Discord chats

Not a thing I'd ever be at risk from. Games would never be able to detect my discord and I'd certainly not give it. Just as discord would never be able to detect my game.

Factory building sim Shapez 2 hits the big 1.0 in April with major upgrades

Quoting: JarmerApril is usually a busy work month. I should just pre-email all my contacts and be like "sorry stuff is delayed, I'm playing Shapez leave me alone"
Fair. 😄
