That’s pretty crazy. What do you do if you don’t have a smartphone?

KDE teams up with PinePhone for the PinePhone - KDE Community edition

I was just looking at some PinePhone videos last night after learning that the Librem 5 was shipping soon and it seemed really slow. I hope the Librem 5 will do better in this regard but there aren't as many videos showing it off.

Still too rich for my blood either way :(

Valve dev clarifies what some of their upcoming and recent Linux work is actually for

Quoting: HoriI'm not saying this is why they're doing this, as I don't think that's true, but you gotta admit there's a certain benefit in being loved by the community. Valve is basically our "knight in shining armour".
Indeed, I am reminded of the way many people said they would buy games at full price from Feral just to thank them for doing what they do, even when they already owned that title or weren’t interested in actually playing it. Similarly, I would never buy a Windows game from Epic to play it via Wine, but with Valve I’m willing to make a few exceptions knowing that some of that money will in fact go towards supporting the Linux ecosystem.

It’s not real, just a graphic for the article.

WHAT THE GOLF? parody game is now available for Linux

That looks like it could be fun on Remote Play Together!

Quoting: aokamiI bought it last week, couldn't wait, will the purchase count towards a Linux sale ? (What about gifts ? Is there literature on how steam sort sales types ?)
I believe it goes according to the platform you’ve played it the most on during the first week, so it’s probably too late to do anything about it.

Oh boy oh boy, does Horizon: Zero Dawn run out of the box with this version? If anyone finds videos of it running on this version of Proton, I'd love to see :)

Get some classic Worms games in the latest Humble Bundle, plus multiple other big sales

Quoting: bisbyxhttps://www.protondb.com/app/327030

I had to use proton to gets Worms WMD to run. The native version was broken.
Works for me with this run command:
LC_ALL=C LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$HOME/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu:$HOME/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu" %command%

Don't ask me to explain, though, found it in the Steam forums years ago.

Quoting: kuhpunktKinda worried about the future honestly... so much fragmentation, everybody wants its own thing.
Especially with all of them going for subscriptions. I’m not going to pay 20$ a month to five different services to play one game on each.

Nice! Not my kind of gameplay, but I love what they did with the theme.
