Seems content light also like mentioned...

NVIDIA 565.77 stable driver for Linux released

Quoting: legluondunetWhat is the added value today for Linux users to buy a Nvidia?
To my point of view and Linux gamer experience, it appears to me today more comfortable to use a AMD GPU, because of his better integration with Linux Mesa/Kernel.
DLSS, reflex, nvenc, cuda

No issues to report so far. But had no issues with the beta 565 either, so theres that.

Deep survival game Vintage Story has another massive update approaching in v1.20
5 Dec 2024 at 1:00 pm UTC

That game is great in many aspects, but combat is just awful. Ther's almost no audio-visual feedback in combat. It's actually so bad that i just can't play it. The rest of the game mechanics are very well done though.

Looks like Discord finally fixed Linux screen and audio sharing with Wayland

Quoting: megaReally wish they'd just make a deb repository already so I don't have to manually update with the .deb method every other day. It seems like people ask for it all the time but they never respond to it for some reason.
you can modify
~/.config/discord/settings.json

with
"SKIP_HOST_UPDATE": true

so it stops nagging you and you can update it when you feel the need :)

They seem to have fixed/improved the Game Activity detection on Linux also. Games run from steam now show nicely what you are playing, instead of wine-preloader or the executable name.
Havent checked with Lutris or other tools and there still might be some detection issues but looks much improved at least.
