Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from GamingOnLinux - time for my annual break https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2023/12/merry-christmas-and-happy-new-year-from-gamingonlinux/ Steam Deck Verified picks for the 2023 holiday season https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2023/12/steam-deck-verified-picks-for-the-2023-holiday-season/ @gamingonlinux I replaced my gaming laptop with a M1 Pro MacBook Pro, got a Steam Deck, then replaced my Windows gaming desktop with an M2 Pro Mac Mini and installed Linux on the gaming desktop (but haven't played games on it yet). My Steam Year End summary has macOS and Steam Deck taking up 5/6 of my gaming time with both about equal. (And Rimworld taking up 29% of my gaming for the year.) Godot 4.3 dev 1 brings major rendering changes - plus W4 Games on console support https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2023/12/godot-43-dev-1-brings-major-rendering-changes-plus-w4-games-on-console-suppor/ @gamingonlinux apex was always an exercise in frustration for me, and oddly enough I found Fortnite to be way more "fun" despite my initial revulsion. The whole thing just feels more casual and it's really all I have bandwidth for mentally in the fps genre. Speaking as someone who played doom shareware everyday after school I surprised myself with actually liking Fortnite. No build is the only way to play, lol. @gamingonlinux Honestly, playing Yugi The Destiny version of Yu-Gi-Oh Power of Chaos it's quite frustrating due how unfair Yugi is with you, you'll lose more times than you win, but i do not behave this way, self-control it's important. Steam Winter Sale 2023 is live, along with The Steam Awards voting https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2023/12/steam-winter-sale-2023-is-live-along-with-the-steam-awards-voting/ The Talos Principle 2 gets Steam Deck Verified, plus a big Beta update is out https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2023/12/the-talos-principle-2-gets-steam-deck-verified-plus-a-big-beta-update-is-out/ @gamingonlinux Played the first game, it was awesome. Haven't played this one yet but I've heard good things about it. Really looking forward to playing it Check out this great overview of NVK, the open source NVIDIA Vulkan driver https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2023/12/check-out-this-great-overview-of-nvk-the-open-source-nvidia-vulkan-driver/ @gamingonlinux I installed it last night on my laptop and have been going through my Steam library trying a bunch of games. It's a very impressive driver! Performance isn't always the best but for a brand new driver it's working very well, and doesn't have the weird screen tearing issues with PRIME that the official driver does that renders it almost unusable in many situations. KDE Plasma 6.0 Beta 2 is available for testing https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2023/12/kde-plasma-60-beta-2-is-available-for-testing/ Fedora Asahi Remix 39 brings Linux to Apple Silicon Macs https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2023/12/fedora-asahi-remix-39-brings-linux-to-apple-silicon-macs/
