CARGO blends off-roading with an action-focused Mad Max like delivery sim

Idea seems great, but even their trailer shows how blurry and low framerate it seems to run.
another UE5 jank i guess?

Competitive vehicle shooter World of Tanks: HEAT announced with Steam Deck support

Hero shooter with tanks i guess.
Trailer like always doesn't say anything, i guess lets wait and see.
pretty good choice of music for the trailer though if its just a simpler more fast paced version of WoT

No dx12 perf gains or losses from quick testing of UE5 game(StarRupture playtest) and Cyberpunk.
Cant complain about perf though. Seems to be close enough to windows for me at least.
Well they didn't mention anything about vkd3d-proton or dx12 in the changelogs either so i guess that was obvious.

5800X3D, RTX 3080, Arch Linux, MATE Desktop.

Valve reveal new Steam store menu and enhanced search now in Beta

Popular Searches - don't really care about
Categories are now kinda stupid big blobs, but luckily theres show more that gives better list

Theres also lots of wasted empty space on the both sides now.

Search box now shows the price also which i dont think it previously showed, thats nice but again it has big banners on the search list and fits less titles into it..

overall pretty bad, but its been going worse for last few years already...so yeah

im old a grumpy with the "modern" designs.

Lossless Scaling's Frame Generation for Linux gets upgraded to the latest v3.1

Tested it a bit. First i will say.. I'm not a fan of Fake frames.
But this is actually pretty decent for Warhammer Online. The game originally has 100FPS cap. but with LSFG 2x multiplier it sits at my refresh cap nicely and the input isn't that awful and ghosting is kinda okaish for that game at least. I needed to use wow64 build of wine though as i couldn't figure out how to compile lsfg-vk for 32bit.

Now with other games i tried: Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, Tainted Grail Fall of Avalon and Robocop Rogue City, its really really bad. Lots of input lag and tons of ghosting. I guess modern games with TAA are really bad for fake frames...

Removing the option to force MSAA on older games is one of the stupidest changes imo. Why not have the option, even if it breaks some games, its not like its enabled by default anyway.

super unhappy about that. :(

Bazzite would shut down if Fedora goes ahead with removing 32-bit
26 Jun 2025 at 8:09 pm UTC

You should be able to run all other software in some form of containers, but you can't run Steam in a runtime if you want to use it as your shell (as pointed out by the Bazzite devs). But that's Valve's because they simply need to update Steam.
Don't you also need 32bit GPU drivers then? even if all the rest is containerized

edit:
but anyway as a end user i don't really care much if i have extra packages installed on my system for legacy games/applications

as a developer or package maintainer ofc i u can see why its just waste of resources to deal with

Because Steam is legacy software… (but this explains a lot).
Where did i say anything about steam?
Steam probably will get the 64bit treatment sooner or later, iIwas talking about all the legacy stuff like native games or applications that don't have active development

Now first i will say that we should have been dropping 32bit support at least decade ago already if not even earlier. But that being said, you just dont f**k with legacy stuff. If you want to remove things then you provide a compatibility packages or whatnot for old software that cannot be recompiled etc. Thats just my 2 cents. Same goes to wayland and stuff. You provide a layer to support legacy things.

Now about the bazzite shutting down potentially when that happens... well that's really what you can expect from a small distros developed by few people and maybe several random contributors that use some other distro as a base.
We have had loads of distros that have gone extinct.
