Tried it out, looks quite polished and usable already!
Just no single player campaigns so far, waiting for these.

I'm one of the backers of Nrita Boy, and it's as you suspect: they announced some weeks ago that there will be no Linux version. Backers who had selected the Linux version were offered to "go out", to go for PS4 or Windows version. A friend got into an agreement with them to get a GOG key for a DRM free version, to have better chances to get it running on Linux.

I have a PS4 here, so agreed to PS4 key - did not think of a DRM free version via GOG.

As Far As The Eye [External Link] is finally natively on Linux and went onto discount, so I gave that a try last week. It's nice, recommended! Reminds much of the xcom series, also Battle Isle.

Besides that, I also played the 2016 released "Particle Fleet: Emergence", play time 229 hours according to Steam (lies! ;). One can filter for user created maps with high rating, there are so good maps..

I got one of these handhelds for emulation some months ago. I really wondered before how much I would use it.. I got it - and have barely used it.

Coreboot, flashable with fwupd would be nice, and make it easier to use other distros.. but I think System76 still uses their own flashing tools.

Hm.. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1119700/As_Far_As_The_Eye/ [External Link] lists
"11 Sep, 2020" as release date, so yesterday, but no linux/steamos symbol on the steam page of the game :(

I've also been spending much time with the Raspi4 lately.
Fedora runs out of the box with the plain Fedora kernel [External Link]!

I also played with the H2C-RPI-B01 [External Link], an addon board for the Raspi for ~40€, which can grab HDMI. No 1080p@60Hz, also no audio, but does impressive things for the money.

I rediscovered and played "Portal 2" and "The Talos Principle". The PS4 controller works nicely with these, I use no mouse here on this Thinkpad, and while I love "the nipple" of Thinkpads, it's awful for 3rd person games.

I rediscovered Portal 2 and had some very nice hours with it. Also, "Into the Breach".

Quoting: DragunovI tried playing OpenRA, but it was nothing like the original games.

Do you mean a champaign mode, giving you the single missions one after one, with the videos in between? That seems to be missing indeed. Apart of that, from style it feels to me reasonably enough like the original, but with improvements in the right corners.
