Discussions and news about gaming on the GNU/Linux family of operating systems (including the Steam Deck). Potentially a $HOME away from home for disgruntled /r/linux_gaming denizens of the redditarian demesne.

That includes posts generated by LLMs. It doesn’t matter if you “don’t have the time” or “would’ve written the same anyway”, or if “everyone’s doing it geez get with the times”.
For now it’ll also include “AI”-assisted projects that haven't had at least two months of (public, verifiable) dev time behind them.

I have 4 8bitdo Ultimate 2C gamepads. 2 Nintendo layout and 2 Xbox layout. They feel better than the Series X standard gamepad I had before. My oldest is 2 years old. Durable for me but I don't smash the buttons and sticks anywhere near as hard as possible like I've seen other people do when gaming. Like video game road ragers
