THT ☛ Why I Chose NixOS (And Why I Eventually Moved On)
NixOS is probably the best Linux distro right now; its immutable, but it doesn’t take power away from the user. It uses the latest packages without breaking on every update. You could write a simple config for a machine and just… leave it be, and it won’t break (excluding hardware failure).

Boiling Steam ☛ New Steam Games with Native GNU/Linux Clients, including Aura of Worlds - 2024-09-25 Edition
Between 2024-09-18 and 2024-09-25 there were 24 New Steam games released with Native GNU/Linux clients. For reference, during the same time, there were 156 games released for backdoored Windows on Steam, so the GNU/Linux versions represent about 15.4 % of total released titles. That’s a fairly high percentage! I am headed to the Tokyo Games Show tomorrow so there may be some good surprises on the indies side. In the meantime, there’s Aura of Worlds, a nice take on the platformer genre with the usage of tools and other elements to go through procedurally generated levels.
