Quoting: StellaI have considered Fedora, never really got into it so far and I've been using Linux for a good long while. I read there are some things missing OOTB that make it not as complete as a distro such as Mint, Ubuntu or even Manjaro.Quoting: LoftyFinally! We have an integrated onscreen keyboard under Wayland which has been a much needed accessibility feature for me. I have stayed on X11 because of this using the admittedly great application 'onboard' which has meant missing out on other gaming features & HDR. Now i will have to move from my older existing plasma install to a newer distro that supports 6.6Fedora 44 will get KDE 6.6. Worth noting that there are also immutable variants of Fedora like Kionite or Bazzite/Aurora from Universalblue. The advantage is integrated rollback functionality and the assurance of always having a working system, while staying relatively up to date
Not sure which one to choose , needs to be more upto date than mint/debian though but a 'YOLO Update' distro 🤔
Great work 👍

There isn't anything on the changelog about the overview screen appearing blank on a duplicated display.
It's the issue in this 'resolved' bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=481222
Though maybe the fix isn't yet merged for this release?

shit, I just checked the US store, and every single model is gone. All sold out. Nothing avail.
WTF I hate AI SOOOOO much. Moreso I hate that the corrupt markets are being corrupted even more by the billionaire class. This is not normal market stuff happening here.
WD said it's entire 2026 stock of hdd's is all gone already. We're 6 weeks in out of 52. I was going to build a new home media plex server next year with a steam machine and rack mounted array with new WD Reds, but if this keeps going, I doubt I'll be able to afford to. WD Reds will be the cost of a new car by then. All I can do is randomly go whisper into my current machine with the old reds in it: "please don't die"

Veeery nice! I remember when on a lan-party (anyone remember fiddling with the 10BaseT Coaxial cable madness and those forsaken windows drivers back then? Blessed those who had the original 3com ethernet card) someone gave us "copies" of the pre-release of Unreal Tournament and we all were totally hooked. It was so smooth, the music was awesome, the announcer epic. But even back then i hardly could keep up with the two older guys that were completely stoned all the time, but their aim was perfect. After remembering this i spun up UT3 from my library, and it ran perfectly without issues. Good times!
News - Space strategy game Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes has a demo out now
By Chrisznix, 17 Feb 2026 at 7:25 am UTC
By Chrisznix, 17 Feb 2026 at 7:25 am UTC
I got to check it yesterday, and i had to use Proton Experimental to start it on EndeavourOs (Ryzen/Nvidia mix). After that i had no more issues.
The Tutorial has no real save points, so make sure to have an hour or so to play with it.
My first impression of the demo is really good. It got the vibes right, has a decent tutorial and seems to have at least some depth. So if you like to shoot some toasters, this might entertain you.

The only ones that didn't were either games that were never popular enough to begin with (and so were forgotten regardless), or titles that were directly tied to Linux/Unix only libraries such as the early X11 games (which were mostly clones of arcade games anyway). Simply put, there has never been a reason by and large where you HAD to run Linux in order to experience a given game.
Meanwhile, Mac OS had a shareware scene even during the darkest of times for that platform, through the likes of Ambrosia Software and similar (most notably early Bungie), not to mention all the amateur games made in Hypercard. The Amiga meanwhile had developers that adopted it when it was genuinely a leading game platform (and had many releases where the Amiga version was considered the superior version to the DOS release), and even in its twilight its attempts to keep up with the PC were still unique, such as Doom-clones like Gloom and Alien Breed 3D.
Loki's Sam Latinga even touched upon this when he admitted that if he were to do it all over again he would have developed original Linux games instead of ports. Maybe he was right.

Quoting: gbudnyThe commercial games helped many of us keep using this system, and I wish it were a much bigger community. You can see huge communities of retro users constantly talking about games for Windows, Mac, Amiga, and Atari. etc. So many incredible companies sacrifice their time and risk their money to help Linux users play commercial games.The main issue is that Linux has never really had any exclusives. For most of our history we have been a very small fish in a large pond, so the majority of our commercial titles have been ports or developed cross-platform. Meanwhile, our independent games have largely been free and open source (Tux Racer, SuperTux, Tux games in general), which is objectively great, but it does mean that most of these also saw releases on Windows, Mac OS X, BeOS, and your toaster.

the art direction... even the things that look bad look good! (i mean, they help sell the uncanny feeling, i saw some bad backgrounds in the past due to the games being made by amateours or lack of tech, but this emulated the asthetic and im pretty sure it was on purpose)
there are also many different art styles, and looks like they know how to tell an scary story by the trailer
