Give your Steam Deck a refreshed look with these new Razer skins

Do we need to wait for OpenRazer integration or does it work OOTB?

Steam Controller 2 is apparently a thing and being 'tooled for a mass production' plus a new VR controller

Would still buy without since I loved the first one but if I had a wish: a bit of proper haptic feedback would be nice. Dualsensense is fantastic when the game supports it.

Everytime I think about these games I have this, on my face:

Well, I alredy have the same expression every time I see them on my wishlist. Guess, it"s actually not a bad idea to get some more projects of the kind rolling. *thumbs up*

Wait, that Freeware site is actually selling games?
Cool, never noticed. Once I played through the 450 or so Windows only titles they gave me for free, that I did not have time to touch, yet, I might give it a try. Do they offer proton integration, controller remapping and native Linux support for the games they actually sell like other stores do?

Quoting: Raaben... To me, keyboard. Gnome feels far better and faster than trying to point and click/poke everything.
But you can do that with just about every DE out there, meanwhile, I never managed to figure out how to even navigate the weird menu system with keyboard only in GNOME. Or are you using the console to get things done?

So they relabeled the GOY editon to Anniversary edition and doubled the price? Or am I missing something?

KDE Plasma 6.2 adding a pop-up for donations, plus they want to make a next-generation KDE OS

Quoting: eldakingHmm, as much as asking for donations is perfectly fine and good (I'd consider a distro removing such a benign request to be very rude, almost hostile)... I don't think a system notification is the right place for it. I'd rather have it all the time in the login screen than having it pop up as a notification, even once per year. Having a static donate button somewhere in the settings would be better than a daemon to show a scheduled ad.
Agreed, login screen all year would be fine - they could even offer some alternative styles as customization options as a fun intractable gimmick, but popups however sparse ...make me... not be in a good mood. Which might not be the best time to ask for a well deserved donation.

Microsoft breaks some Linux dual-boots in a recent Windows update

So instead of blocking their own operating system and displaying a warning message because a user installed boot loader might affect it's security they decided it was ok to overwrite the user installed software in question and block another user installed operating system instead? Sure hope they had their legal team look into this beforehand.

Steam store pages are about to get a lot cleaner, Valve puts an end to game advert spam

To be honest I do not care how the publishers clutter "their" product page. It is their loss if they annoy me when i try to buy their product. What I do care about, though, is that there still is no official option to remove the "news" section from "MY" library page... :(

Quoting: Purple Library GuyDoes temporal anti-aliasing smooth out the flow of time? I hadn't noticed time being jerky, but if someone was having that problem I could see it being amazingly useful.
Looking at the average decline of eyesight over the time of a persons lifespan one could probably argue it does. Blurred vision for the same person at all stages of life (as TAA tends to produce) could be viewed as smoothing the flow of time - or at least its effects, I guess.
