New OBS Plugin Offers Game Capture Solution on Wayland (for Vulkan renderers)

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.

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.

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. :happy:

Control was a pretty cool game I have to admit. Finished it along with the DLC's a couple of days ago.

Quoting: woox2kI would also like to know how is this possible?
It's good the game is doing good and it is a good game, but to be on the very top of the charts while still being EA?
I haven't played it, but I've seen that there are a lot of streamers/influensers on social media praising it. I'm sure that has something to do with it's sudden popularity.

Good to see all the degoogling advocates here :tongue:

+1 for Protonmail. I'd like to add https://disroot.org/ [External Link] and https://tutanota.com/ [External Link] to the list of the many smaller European alternatives to big tech.

Classic open source simulation game OpenTTD is coming to Steam

Brilliant. Personally I pull it in directly from Debian's repo and that isn't going to change. There's also a flatpak [External Link] for those who prefer, but if I was on a Windows or macOS-machine with Steam installed, this would probably be the way to go.

Is this kind of like OpenTTD but with fancy graphics?

They should call it VKD3D-Proton-Photon.

What we expect to come from Valve to help Linux gaming in 2021

Maybe they are integrating a feature to create and maintain a bootable USB-stick directly from the Steam-client? That would be great as it would expose this ability to a lot of new users who either doesn't know how to do it the traditional way, or simply aren't interested enough to seek out the software on their own. Could be an effective way to boost Linux gaming market share. :smile:
