WOW on Linux
Hi everyone, could you help me? Is it possible to play WoW with the Blizzard update? I have an Acer Nitro 5, and I was thinking of installing Linux on it.

How is using Steam in a distrobox?
I had been using Bazzite with Deck game mode for over a month on my HTPC, but since it won’t be getting the DirtyFrag patch for a while I was considering to move to a different distro since I’d need to be running the desktop version of Bazzite for the patch anyway, and I figured if I’m going to lose out on the main reason I’m using Bazzite in the first place, I might as well just use a normal desktop distro. I’ve briefly used Fedora Kinoite before and liked it, but I always layered Steam. Since I’ll have to distrobox for MangoHUD anyway I’m wondering if I can also just do a Fedora distrobox for Steam, and if that bypasses the issues with Flatpak (not being able to see gamepads or other drives)

Hello, I'm Paul. Some time ago, I posted some screenshots of my game project "Deep Sheol". Today, I wanted to present some short gameplay.
I've been working on the game for less than a year. Initially, it was supposed to be a retro shooter with horror and sci-fi elements, but month by month, new ideas kept coming to me, and the project evolved more towards an immersive sim / survival horror.
The visual side of Deep Sheol is inspired by the first Half-Life. I wanted the game to be in a retro style, which I like very much. The player interface I created refers to the classic sci-fi vibe from the turn of the 80s and 90s in films, books, and games. The plot presents the mission of a corporate agent, Seth, who was sent to investigate an alarm triggered at a gas extraction facility.
The game is being developed in Unity 3D (the Linux version).
I also use my favorite tools: Blender (version 2.79b :D ), GIMP, VS Code, and Audacity – everything running on my trusty old Linux Mint 20.3 Cinnamon setup.
My current specs are an AMD Ryzen 7 5700X (recently upgraded from a Ryzen 5 1600 AF), 32 GB RAM, and a GTX 970.
The game demo (just like the full version when it's finished) has a native Linux build.

Problem with Minecraft on CachyOS
I wanted to play Minecraft version 1.12.2, but I ran into a problem where the controls aren't working properly—for example, the key that opens the inventory no longer works, and the W, A, S, and D keys aren't working either.
I tried downloading Java 8 and changing the Java version in the launcher, but it didn’t help.
I changed the system’s primary language to English; I also changed the language to English before launching the launcher, but it didn’t help.
I’m using the Legacy Launcher; I haven’t even tried the Prism Launcher because there’s no licensed version available.
When I press Escape, only one key works, but only once

Overwatch settings not saving
Hi, I just freshly installed Bazzite coming from windows, and overwatch has kind of been a pain. It took a while to get the game running but I’ve noticed my graphics settings never save when I change them. How can this be fixed? I run overwatch directly though steam

Sovereign Tech Fund invests over €1 million in KDE software development
Idlemir - minimalistic, but complex idle-MMORPG inspired by Ultima Online and RuneScape (browser/mobile, low traffic)
Hiho! For 3 years I'm solo developing an idle MMORPG, hand-written from scratch, without using any engines/frameworks. All logic server-side (no cheating / data mining). And yes, it works on Linux as it's browser-based :D
Recently I've added guest mode (no registration required), tutorial an much more stuff!
I'm sharing it here because I think it's well suited for Linux users, as it's both quite minimalistic and complex at the same time. I'm also a maintainer of Tangaria (MMO roguelike), and many players there use Linux.
Key features of Idlemir:
- Mostly AFK / semi-AFK gameplay: set up a build and see how it performs
- Freedom: be good or bad
- The map: a huge world with different terrain and features that affect your hero
- Exploration: each location (and there are thousands) can be explored
- A serious, book-like storyline that unfolds over time
- Long-term progression - improve 100+ skills, from stealing and musicianship to transmutation and treasure hunting
- Offline progress (gold, stat points, rest experience)
Game works in desktop/mobile and very low traffic (<1 MB/hour):
The game is still in early testing - some mechanics are incomplete, but there won't be a wipe; only some resources may be removed if exploits are found during testing
Feedback is very welcome. I read everything and regularly implement changes based on it. Thank you for it, folks! w00t :D

Switch to iris_xe graphics instead of i915 for newer iris-xe graphics (alderlake/intel_iris_xe)
So basically, I am currently running debian and installed The Crew. After running a while it was giving pretty damn lag after smooth rendering for some minutes. I started to search about the driver used in windows which gives shared RAM memory to the gpu for well optimization and found that i915 was the problem for me. It is mature and less buggy but also gives less performance for my case. So i just switched to the xe graphics. Here's the link to what I did, thought it will be helpfull for some folks 😄 :
