Surprisingly, Valve rated Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced and Rainbow Six Siege as Steam Deck Playable
18 Mar 2025 at 3:31 pm UTC Likes: 2

Marking GTA V as playable kind of makes sense; single player works perfectly there. But afaik Siege doesn't have any offline/single-player component - is there a bot mode? - so marking that as playable does feel misleading.

It would be helpful if they at least added a note that multiplayer will not work if they're gonna mark games like these as playable.

Fedora KDE gets approval to be upgraded to sit alongside Fedora Workstation

I just switched to KDE when I hopped to Bazzite/Kinoite. As much as I like Cinnamon, KDE feels much more robust and polished. It's exciting to see Fedora recognize this as well. I was on GNOME when I first tried Fedora, and I can safely say I'm enjoying the distro a lot more under KDE.

Sonic Frontiers works on Steam Deck and Linux desktop although it has issues

I'm curious how much of the issues stem from the game itself. Sonic's quality has been...spotty...to say the least.

The CTO of Croteam has written up a post about 'The Elusive Frame Timing'

I think this is the problem I had with Borderlands 2; even with decent framerates, I kept seeing this stutter while playing the game. In the end, I had trouble enjoying the game because of it. It's been a while, though, so hopefully it's been fixed by now.

I stopped playing when players were one-shotting me across the map...with a shotgun. I haven't played as many FPSes since, but I started dipping my toes in CS:GO.

Nice! I remember eyeing this one back in my Windows days. I'm actually excited to try this. It might be able to scratch that Warframe itch I've been getting.

Doom (2016) could have been on Linux, id Software made a Linux version sound easy to do

Day-1 purchase for me the moment that happens.

Until then...No Tux No Bucks.

Sounds like Killing Floor 2 won't come to Linux any time soon

Quoting: h54I gave up on this one a while ago and removed it from my wishlist. No Tux, bucks!
Same. It's a shame, though, as I enjoyed the first one and was looking forward to playing it. Hopefully it will find its way to our platform.

Canonical drop the Unity desktop environment for Ubuntu favour of going back to GNOME
7 Apr 2017 at 12:05 pm UTC

Quoting: gojulSame for me - I switched to Debian stable 2 years ago and it is soooo stable that I would not go back to an Ubuntu LTS. It is really a step up in term of stability.
This has been my experience with Linux Mint. My main gaming desktop is still Antergos, but I switched back to Mint on my laptop for a more stable experience.

Although I'm not the biggest GNOME fan, I'm more excited about this news than I expected. Probably because this now means that Canonical can contribute to existing stable projects like GNOME and Wayland instead of spending it on resources that would only be used by their distro. That being said, I am sad that they've abandoned their phone. I was hoping to eventually buy one as an alternative to Android.
