Looks somewhat cheesier than I was hoping, but I'll remain cautiously optimistic.

Doesn't seem to be one listed.

What's the codename for the 4.0 runtime? Medic? Engineer?

Still not as horrendous as the "indie" category. Looking at the nominees, we have
* A game published by DotEmu, as subsidiary of Focus Entertainment, who according to their Wikipedia page has an annual revenue of 140 million euros.
* A game published by Devolver Digital, a publicly traded corporation owned partly by Sony and Netease
* A game published by Raw Fury, a subsidiary of a giant private equity firm.
* Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, which seems to actually be owned by a medium-sized company.
* Hades II, also seemingly owned by a medium-sized company
* Hollow Knight: Silksong, an indie game
So at most half of the nominees for "best indie game" are actually indie games.

So, it's like a whole game set in Site 32 (2300 AD) from Chrono Trigger? Interesting. I hope there will be a reference or two. Maybe a punk character named Johnny.

I think inadvertently nuking your Linux install is the most common cause of distro hopping.

No, it's not a demo, the highlights of what are included are in the article. It's a full special campaign that brings together multiple games.

If you end up wanting the full thing, there will be a Total War: WARHAMMER III Upgrade Pack available on Steam.

What do you mean by this? Is it just a demo being automatically dumped into people's Steam libraries?

Quoting: sarmadWill those Android games also work on amd64 CPUs, or just on the Frame?

Probably.
[Amd64 to Arm emulators exist and work pretty well.](https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/system/target-arm.html) and Waydroid is open source.

Quoting: dziadulewiczFortnite is available for Android. Does this mean Fortnite can soon be easily gamed on desktop Linux through Steam and those compat layers?

Not easily.
Fortnite tries to detect non-standard Android configs, which would easily penetrate something as flimsy as waydroid.
A distinction is though that there is already complete community build around circumventing these detection methods meaning that instead having to modify source code you can probably just downloads a few scetchy scripts to cricumvent it.

Quoting: tuubiFor the ones commenting on the lack of HDMI 2.1, AMD isn't allowed to implement the standard in their open source kernel driver.

That said, my 7800XT does 4K@120Hz just fine, connected via HDMI to my LG OLED TV. VRR (FreeSync Premium) works as well, and is active according to the TV. Don't know about HDR as this machine is still on X11.

If you don't use an adapter it's using YUV420. You would especially see this on fonts.

I'm very much a noob when it comes to Blender but I donate every month because it's an example of how open source should work.

I'm glad you ended up using a good distro!, although I am not a fan of Fedora, mostly because of the pkg manager, I respect it a lot and coming from the Red Hat guys, I know it has certain... very refined elements.
But for me the most important thing is that you didn't end up using Ubuntu, that is, modern Ubuntu. Even until Ubuntu 22 I would say things were fine (I use it as my main model for most of my docker servers), but go a LTS version more after that one, and you are beginning to see the crumble ground. It's a shame.

The only feature I'm missing so far is the possibility to sync mods across different devices. (I haven't find a way, I guess it's premium blocked).

Besides that, it's a useful app indeed. My Stardew Village is gonna collapse soon.

Brad Lynch has confirmed in [one of the replies](https://x.com/SadlyItsBradley/status/1991428339723321604) that they're using Waydroid to run these Android apps.

Been on openSUSE (Leap/Tumbleweed/Aeon/Kalpa) for over 20 years now. While KDE was Always my primary Desktop. I also use Gnome on Laptops as it has nice handy touchpad gestures, but KDE just feels like Home.

Fedora is pretty nice. Been on Nobara KDE for almost 2 years without any major hitches myself. Definitely not going back to Windows any time soon. Weirdly refreshing.

@tonitch

I vaguely remember that notch selling the game was under condition about the game and that's always how I understood that java was not yet a pay to play game like on bedrock. And if I remember correctly there was something about java staying the main game... I might be wrong tho.

That's huge (to me anyway), if true. I tried to google it, but couldn't find anything myself...

Ugh, as if! </Cher from Clueless>

Eww Fortnite, eww Epic, eww Unity. Just eww.

It's vaguely interesting, but not enough to sacrifice one of the very limited USB ports for. If they'd added an internal header for it on the GabeCube, then I'd be a lot less concerned about the end results.

I really hope we get Bethesda game support soon.

Check out LIMO. I'm not exactly sure why Nexus disabled Bethesda support, because I used this tool to mod Skyrim SE around two years ago, but LIMO also works.

Nice, but I won't install it on my system until they make a Flatpak version

Gross, why? Do you just enjoy making things more difficult for yourself while simultaneously losing control over the things that are installed on your system? Like, there's a reason why people shout from the rooftops to go native as much as possible, especially when it comes to gaming. Also, this utility is already released as an AppImage. If you don't like that, unpack it, and plop it in /opt or something.

Would it work using an active DisplayPort -> HDMI2.1 adapter?

With specific adapter, firmware version, and plenty of luck, it does.

My only issue with frame generation is them requiring newer hardware and that its more prone to noticeable artifacting when using lower frame rates as an input.

Which is a little counter productive, since you'd mostly want it at lower frame rates on older hardware. 😅

On Steam Deck even with the artifacting, I do find myself preferring a generated 60fps to the heavy stutter of 30fps.

used to use playnight while i was in windows, it was great honestly and i missed it when i first came over ... while we have similar things over here like lutris and heroic playnight doesn't just pull other launchers into it you can also do achievement stuff with plugins and such , its pretty nice so this will be a welcome addition if they get alot of it going.

not on fedora proper , but when i made the jump i settled on nobara kde myself and its been great overall. fedora definitely seems to be pretty good bones far as my newbie brain can tell.

I like the thing, that only announcing a steam machine is already creating an emulation, and people are coming with all sort of ideas. Saw one creating a steam machine looking like a cube from Portal. This might bring more and more gamer on linux on the run especially if perf on those machines are stronger with steamos than windows.

Quoting: loggeAt least, the trilogy is linked. Installation of the GOG version is somewhat cumbersome, and also the Steam version borked out with my AppImage on Linux.

Does it not work installing via Heroic?

An answer to ARK that a museum of natural history wouldn't be allergic to? I hope their game sees enough success that later on down they line they might consider a proper native release.
