Portal 2 wasn't a one-off then. I wonder what's next? Maybe Counter Strike: Source, which coincidentally I've been going back to playing lately

Edit: Also, not a Valve game per se, but I think Black Mesa would benefit greatly from a DXVK option.

Direct3D 9 / 10 / 11 to Vulkan translation layer DXVK 1.9 is out now

Any reason to use DXVK's framerate-limiter rather than libstrangle, or does it not matter? Assuming libstrangle works with the application in question that is, which isn't always the case.

Cool. There's been quite a bit of DLC released since I first played through this awesome game. Seems like a good time to give it a replay!

Looks like Steam is getting a brand new Downloads page

+1 for a "download all" button. Also, I'd like to be able to change the priority by dragging and dropping instead of just using the button that brings a download to the top. They could sort of make it like the Steam wishlist where you can drag and drop to prioritize. And why not make the look a bit more coherent while you're at it?

OBS Studio 27.0 RC1 out with Wayland support and browser docking on Linux

Quoting: BielFPsI wonder if OBS will perform better/worse compared to a x11 system. Maybe someone who uses both can answer this.

Ultimately the goal is to make it work better than X11 according to the dev who made most of the OBS Wayland code. The work is not finished however, so it might not live up to those expectations just yet.

GNOME 40 is out now with the redesigned Activities Overview

Quoting: Guesti would like more options in the mouse settings though in regards to acceleration. the default acceleration profile causes my mouse to move way to fast. i would prefer a more "flat" profile. or an option to disable acceleration.

Maybe you know this already, but there's a utility called gnome-tweaks which contains additional settings to those in gnome-control-center, including mouse acceleration. Contrary to gnome-control-center, the gnome-tweaks app contains settings which the casual user is unlikely to touch, and it is therefore usually not installed by default.
gnome tweaks is broken atm on gnome 40. there is a new version, but its a beta version and not in arch yet. not even in the aur or the gnome unstable repo.

nevertheless, i just switched over to gnome 40 from xfce.

There will probably be a new version any day. Some rolling distributions don't put out every GNOME-package at once, but instead piece by piece over a few days which obviously can break things temporarily. Arch is among those distributions.

Cool! Ultimately we need PipeWire-support though. Personally I have always been able to capture xwayland surfaces but for some reason the frame-rate in the captured footage is terrible. When I switch to GNOME on x.org I can capture smooth 60fps footage.

Really been looking forward to this one but I probably have to be a bit patient since Debian is currently frozen in preparation for the next big release. Been keeping an eye on the experimental-repo but there's no GNOME 40 yet.
