Sentry gets improved crash reporting for games running via Proton / Wine on SteamOS / Linux

Ah, Sentry. One of the best crash-handling systems in existence. Also one of the worst self-host applications I've ever had the misfortune to have to run..

OpenMW 0.50.0 for Morrowind is out with more enhancements and better gamepad support
8 Nov 2025 at 8:25 am UTC Likes: 13

Speaking as one of the core team, I can't guarantee that we'll manage to keep quite this rapid a release cadence, but the goal is definitely to stick to releases-per-year instead of years-per-release.

Morrowind game engine OpenMW gearing up for a huge new 0.49 release
24 Feb 2025 at 7:57 pm UTC

This release has been brewing for quite the while, should bring a few more nice benefits outside of the general feature work.
Lots and lots of dependency work means you should be able to expect proper AArch64 builds among other things, the Flatpak RCs (the beta branch) already ships those.

Fedora threatened with legal action from OBS Studio due to their Flatpak packaging

A project which is not able to maintain their application should really not threaten others with a lawsuits:
I think I'd much rather that the maintainers maintain the application in a functional state, instead of doing a Fedora and putting it onto a runtime version where it doesn't work.

Of note, the issues in the runtime that prevent OBS from working should be fixed soon, it's waiting on patches upstream.

Factorio: Space Age sold over 400,000 copies and sets a new player count record

Slowly working my way towards space, so haven't seen all that new stuff yet, but 2.0 itself is such a major improvement in so many ways.

I do hope this will revitalize the modding scene as well, since it comes with a complete and clean break from all the old <=1.X mods.

I do wish TUXEDO would expand on their AMD segment, especially when it comes to GPUs.

Orange Pi Neo gaming handheld to come with Manjaro Linux

Played a little bit with the one at FOSDEM, felt reasonably weighted, liked the port layout, but the shell felt like the stereotypical sticky when dry and slippery when wet plastic of a cheap aftermarket controller, and the shape was a little too smooth - so there was no real way to get a solid grip on it.
I really like the fact that it has trackpads though, unfortunately the positioning of them makes it almost impossible to use both trackpads and sticks in any meaningful combination. You either have to hold the console so that you can comfortably use the pads, or you have to hold it so you can comfortably use the sticks and buttons, there wasn't really a middle ground for my hand size at least.

Spent a while chatting about the immutable design, and from the answers to my questions it's been really well thought out, though there seemed to be an awful lot of weight placed on the fact that it would be as easy as possible to disable the immutability.

Unified Linux Wine Game Launcher aims to improve Windows games on Linux / Steam Deck
23 Jan 2024 at 8:14 am UTC

Quoting: andriishafarIsn't this what steam flatpak does? They don't use Steam Linux Runtime/Steam Runtime Tools for Proton flatpak. Linux is all about "everyone, quick, let's build same thing but different"
The Steam Flatpak has used regular Steam + pressure-vessel (and therefore also regular Steam Linux Runtime and Proton 5.13+) since Flatpak 1.11.1 - at least as long as bubblewrap isn't installed setuid by your dist.

In fact, the old separate Flatpak extensions for Proton haven't been updated in years and are very likely to be removed soon - they're already archived on GitHub.

MSI teasing a handheld gaming PC like the Steam Deck

I wonder if one of these gaming hardware companies are ever going to stick trackpads on their competing devices.

TUXEDO Sirius 16 launches full AMD gaming notebook with Linux

The screen is definitely quite drool-worthy, though I wish it would've had a few more nits. Not that I expect to replace my current laptop for a while, sitting with the TUXEDO Aura 15 Gen2.
