Valve reveals Steam Deck OLED for November 16th
10 Nov 2023 at 1:37 am UTC

Quoting: preludelinuxI'm very surprised not refreshing the cpu/gpu so this is more of a basic refresh. they might be holding off to all the new apu's get released though and get bugs and thermals sorted before a major upgrade though.

I also wonder why it takes them longer than to AMD in laptops to refresh the APU. AMD are already shipping Zen 4 / RDNA 3 laptop APUs.

KDE Plasma 6 gets a first Alpha release

Quoting: BlackBloodRumThe cube! :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:

I hope it will also have wobbly windows and things, haha. I miss that old stuff! :grin: :grin:

Wobbly windows weren't dropped from Plasma 5, so they were there all along. Some effects like desktop cube were removed and are returning only now (they needed to switch to different design with QML and etc.).

I'm surprised they didn't go for newer generation of APU (Zen 4 / RDNA 3 rather than just process shrink). I guess such kind of upgrade cycles are slow for them.

KDE Plasma 6 gets a first Alpha release

Quoting: GuestI hope Xorg users will continue to get fixes.

I think over time they'll drop it altogether (supporting only XWayland case for what relies on X). So better start using Wayland sooner rather than later.

Wayland experience with KDE is quite good already. What I'm waiting for is enabling Vulkan rendering for KWin.

RPG 'Black Geyser: Couriers of Darkness' is set to get a big DLC and free upgrade

Oh, I liked the original game. It has some technical issues like huge load times, but writing in it is actually interesting. I'll check the expansion out!

Cinnamon 6.0 for Linux Mint 21.3 to have 'experimental' Wayland support

Quoting: MarlockClem said something like 2 years somewhere on the post or the comments.

I think KDE developers underestimated it by a lot, so it likely means more.

Starting on Wayland is good, but judging by how long it took KDE Plasma to get to decent state, it will probably be a long road. Still nice to see some progress.

KDE KWin may gain early HDR support for gaming

Quoting: F.UltraLarger color space is just one of the extra, allowing a larger dynamic range between the darkest and brightest items on the screen is the major one.

Yeah, he mentions both.
