I hope governments will apply the same logic here as using seatbelts:

When your are driving a car you have to wear a seatbelt, but when you're on a motorcycle nobody cares about your safety.

(In this metaphore an OS like Windows is a car. Linux, of course, is like driving a motorcycle)

If Arc Raiders stops working on Linux because of Denuvo and they get review bombed, then it's definitly the year of the Linux deaktop

Not only will the new Steam Controller scream at you but it can play tunes as well

Quoting: EikeWhile I totally agree with the feeling, I'm not sure Valve has much to do with this particular fun?
Or did they have to enable this somehow?
What do you mean? Valve made the controller. All of this is because of their design.

Sentinel is an achievement watcher for non-Steam games on Linux
15 Apr 2026 at 7:00 am UTC

Quoting: Liam DaweThe article is correct, the GitHub page explanation just isn't particularly great right now. It works with non-Steam games, that's part of the point of it.
Thank you very much for clarifying (I'm honored).

Well, in that case I have no idea how this could possibly work (and I am a game developer). Unless you have some kind of hack per game (?)

Sentinel is an achievement watcher for non-Steam games on Linux

Or this article is incorrect, or I don't understand the technology behind it.

How I understand it: It is for getting Steam achievement offline and without using the Steam API. This is why it requires a "Steam Emulator".

Thus, this will not work with games you buy on Epic or GOG. It still requires a game from Steam.

In my understanding

I'm very happy with my 14 inch Tuxedo laptop. Might be interesting for you as well.

Probably cheaper than Framework and lots of configuration options.
