    Raja Koduri Q&D Intel Marketing

    https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=BattlEye-Proton-Steam-Deck Looks like both of the big anti cheats that where messing up proton compatibility should be smooth out fairly soon. This should fold in the few top 10/100 steam titles that where no goes. Thought about posting...

    https://www.ctrl.blog/entry/windows11-empty-taskbar.html Haven't seen anyone mention here today. Well we can't escape annoying targeted ads anywhere else that isn't *nix... that they crashed 11 even in beta does make me laugh.

    https://wccftech.com/amd-radeon-rx-6800-rdna-2-graphics-card-ray-tracing-dxr-benchmarks-leak-out/ Grain of Salt obviously. But it if true its possible... AMD is going to win RT. Again if this isn't BS NV looks to be behind unless they use their DLSS. If AMD ends up with a DLSS type setting...

    Valve dropping official Ubuntu support

    So it seems Ubuntu moving away from 32bit is going to mean no more (ubuntu) recommendations from Steam and Valve. Would be nice to know more about their long term plans. Personaly I would love to see them start paying some Solus developers... and put some of their own people on it. SteamOS is...

    IBM buying Red Hat

    https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=IBM-Potential-Red-Hat IBM Linux. Considering how closely they have been tied with Red Hat and RHEL this makes some sense.
