Quoting: elmapulone nice thing to have would be: auto detect what compatibility tool may work with an game.
eg: dosbox, luxtorpeda, proton, retro arch...

I don't know how it could be implemented, but... "yes please"

I loved Stonekeep around 25 years ago, though I don't recall how far I got on it...

Quoting: GuestThe only thing missing is proper Itch integration

I started playing with GameHub a little, and that supports pulling in your games from Steam, GOG, Humble, and itch.io. One annoyance is that it could use some better caching; it seems to always start with "no games" and then pull them all in. It's pretty quick, but when you have a large Steam library, it does take a minute.

It also looks like it's supposed to list games in the Humble Trove, but it shows as empty for me (with an active Humble Choice subscription). Of course, there's not too much interesting in there these days...

Their other game was Whispers of a Machine; I quite enjoyed both of them (ran great with WINE).

Not sure why 1.10.0 was skipped, but 1.10.2 is already out.

Quoting: EikeReminded me of AntVentor on first sight, a point and click that unfortunately lost its Linux support.

Oh, that's too bad - when did that happen? I see it got Linux support in June 2018, and it worked great for me when I played it in Sept 2018 (3 years ago, where does the time go?).

Running it now, it looks like it gets a black screen as soon as you start a game, although the opening subtitles display fine at the bottom of the screen. Checking the executable, it says it's from June 4, 2021, which correlates with the last update in their news section - so they kept updating the Linux version with broken builds?

Quoting: Guesteven though this is driven by Mozilla

Mozilla says it's Canonical building the snap packages: "Canonical is now building the official Firefox snap"

Quoting: mihaibI am a bit curious on what this power options actually do to the system... I can't seem to find a explanation on the web. I mean what actualy does it tweak/set to achieve this.

Maybe one of these has the info you seek?

Quoting: t3gIf they are going through the effort with Vulkan on Linux and upgrading Windows to DirectX 11, why not just use use Vulkan on Windows too? Figured having to target one renderer would make things easier.

I suspect they are using DXVK for the Vulkan support (like the previous version used ToGL rather than native OpenGL support).

Quoting: ShmerlWell, that's disappointing. Would have been nice for someone to work on open source console style UI. The trend of Linux distros starting to use closed source interfaces is a bad one.

It does make me wonder what they will do if Steam drops Big Picture Mode in favor of some other UI for Steam Deck. They have let it languish for a while...
