No Man's Sky Omega Update arrives with a Free Weekend and lots new
15 February 2024 at 4:29 pm UTC

Game constantly freeze for me after 10-15 seconds in main menu (I tried to change window without borders to fullscreen, disable vsync etc. but nothing helped) however I'm not sure if it's related to Omega patch or switch to Silverblue + Steam from Flatpak, because before I used standard Fedora Workstation. Other games works fine. Can you check if you see similar problems with Omega?

System76 teasing new fully AMD powered Pangolin Linux laptop

Really nice spec. I would like to see more Rembrandt based laptops without dedicated GPUs even from "Windows only" friendly vendors, so it's really good that "Linux friendly" vendor provided that laptop. A lot of laptops have really stupid spec.

Ubuntu 22.10 'Kinetic Kudu' is out now

Quoting: tuubiApparently Fedora uses the grayscale font antialiasing method by default. Most other distributions tend to go for subpixel rendering instead. I haven't touched Gnome in a decade, but a quick search suggests you should be able to find the relevant settings in Tweaks -> Fonts -> Anti Aliasing. Might have to log back in for this to take effect in apps.

Seems like the rationale for going for grayscale instead of subpixel is that the former looks nicer on high DPI screens.
I used the same settings via gnome tweaks for both OSes, so it must be something else.

I checked live version and compared fonts rendering on both Ubuntu 22.10 and Fedora 37 with Gnome Text Editor. In Ubuntu 22.10 fonts looks great, all is sharp, but on Fedora 37 fonts are blurry. Both OSes use Gnome 43 and GTK4 for Gnome Text Editor. Do you know what make a differences? I tested a lot of the same fonts on both OSes. Only monospace regular looks decent on Fedora 37. Second things, libadwaita apps works properly with Ubuntu color accents. DO you know how to achieve sharp fonts rendering and accent colors in libadwaita apps on Fedora 37?

For me Arma 3 launcher still doesn't work.

Proton 5.13-5 is now up bringing in some of the experimental changes

@Tchey
I had similar issue some time ago and in my case solution was to remove some files from /home/USER/.steam (I removed files and even whole folders randomly) directory shich forced Steam to "rebuild of pins". After that all worked fine again.

Quoting: axredneckWhat is a right way to use Proton outside Steam?
I use standalone Proton (I copied it from a Steam) for Origin, Rockstar Launcher and Ubisoft Connect in a following way (eg. for Origin):
1. STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH=/some_path/Origin /some_path/Origin/copied_proton/proton run /path_to_installation_file/OriginThinSetup.exe
2. STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH=/some_path/Origin /some_path/Origin/copied_proton/proton run /some_path/Origin/pfx/drive_c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Origin/Origin.exe
In this way you can paste commands from step 2 to a nice shortcut with an icon and use your app like on Windows.

Raspberry Pi OS has a big new release out switching to PulseAudio

They switched to PulseAudio, meanwhile Fedora planning switch from PulseAudio to PipeWire in the next release, so good timing. IMO they could wait, switch directly to PipeWire too and totally abandon PulseAudio.

QuoteThe Witcher series - 70%-85% off. Pretty good price to get TW3 for Wine.

I have everything Witcher except the expansions to TW3. Are they worth getting?
Yes, definitely. IMO campaigns from expansions are even better than standard campaign.
