It is also becoming Pay to Win, so no money from me.

Quoting: GuestGiven Elon Musk's childlike understanding of free speech (basically what he likes is good, what he doesn't like is bad) things are about to go from bad to worse on Twitter.
>basically what he likes is good, what he doesn't like is bad

That is exactly the mindset of a majority of Twitter users and exactly what is wrong with Twitter. :wink:

Reminds me of World of Padman that I used to play many years ago on Linux. :smile:

Quoting: jordicomaPrey 2006 and quake 4 has native ports, but I cannot confirm that are on steam.
They are on Luxtorpeda [External Link].

OBS Studio arrives on Steam but no Linux build for now so stick to Flatpak

Quoting: Pendragonyou can also, ya know.. just get it from the Ubuntu repository for those that run it
You mean the outdated, potentially broken version (just like most packages in universe/multiverse)?

Getting Minecraft and mods on Steam Deck is nice and simple

the current official Minecraft launcher doesn't save your password
Actually, it does - just not on the Deck. It is a Steam Deck/KDE issue that will hopefully be fixed. :wink:

Google plans their own version of Wine to run Windows games on Stadia

One of the good things about Stadia was that it could potentially bring new native Linux ports (that could also be made available for regular GNU/Linux systems outside of Stadia). And for Stadia users, it was also much better because these ports were optimised for Stadia - basically a custom console-like ports. Google is killing all of this now and bringing a GeForce Now-like experience to Stadia (but you will have to buy the games again, unlike GeForce Now). I understand their reasons (they are trying to save a dying platform which Stadia sadly is), but this is not a good thing at all, at least in my opinion.

Here's how to get the EA App on Steam Deck with Bottles

Nice! (Although it is pretty disappointing that the new EA App is even worse than Origin.)

By the way, similar guide for the Blizzard app would also be great. :-)

Canonical hiring a Desktop Gaming Product Manager for Ubuntu Linux

Quoting: CyborgZetaMy rule of thumb for several months now and going forward, and this is just MY OPINION, is that if something isn't in the official repos or available as a Flatpak (typically from Flathub), then I'm not going to bother.
And Flatpaks are basically unsupported on Ubuntu (outdated Flatpak/xdg portals, no support [External Link] in their GNOME Software fork etc.). :wink:

Great! :happy: Now if only HDR displays were supported on Linux (I know that Red Hat is working on it, but we are not there yet).
