  • Soul Calibur 6 on Linux Might Be Banning Steam Players

    Over the weekend, Soul Calibur 6 Linux players discovered that the game will ban their account if they try to go online. Not even going back to Windows will let them play networked multiplayer. While Soul Calibur 6 doesn’t have an official port to Linux, it is supported through Steam’s Steam Play program using Proton. Added by Valve earlier this year, this compatibility layer enables Windows games on the platform.

    While some initially blamed the Denovo DRM for the issue, the problem seems to be with the game’s anti-cheat system. As noted on Reddit, Tekken 7 also supports Denovo and Proton and has not run into any issues with Linux players. Since both games come from the same publisher, it’s safe to assume that something else is at work here. Neither Bandai Namco or Valve have come out with a statement regarding the issue at this time.

  • You’ll get banned from Soulcalibur 6 if you run it in Linux

    Linux historically hasn’t been a robust gaming platform, though Valve’s Steam Play features aim to change that. But Soulcalibur VI shows some unfortunate side-effects from those measures, as players are getting banned from online play if they launch the game using those built-in Linux compatibility features. Worse yet, the ban is account-wide – so you’re still out of luck even if you switch to Windows.

    If you launch Soulcalibur VI using Steam Play on Linux, you won’t be able to play online. Reinstalling won’t help, nor will installing the game on separate PC, or switching to Windows. The ban appears to be linked directly to your Steam account, so your online recourse would be to repurchase the game on a separate account.

  • Lutris: Linux game management made easy

    If you use Linux and enjoy playing video games, life has been pretty good lately. Valve, Unity, Unreal Engine, and other big-name forces have pulled the video game industry into Linux compatibility so thoroughly that if you use Steam, you likely own more Linux-compatible games than you have time to play (and with Proton and Steam Play, that number's about to increase).

    If you're a fan of indie games, Itch.io and a wide variety of game sprints such as the Open Jam are making it easy to find truly excellent games for Linux. Vendors like GOG.com and Humble Bundle offer lots of games new and old. And finally, you can find plenty of games in your distribution's repositories, game emulators for old consoles, and online games.

  • The super sweet Slime Rancher just had a nice optimisation update

    Slime Rancher, the delightfully sweet game about adventure, exploration and capturing funny little (and sometimes not so little) Slimes just had a good optimisation update.

    It always ran pretty well for me, although on the highest settings it definitely feels quite a bit smoother after this update. The developer said they upgraded the game engine version (Unity) as well as "all game data has been reorganized to optimize the way we store data and manage certain game states".

  • Desert Kill looks like it could be a somewhat amusing top-down action shooter

    When asking the developer to confirm it will support Linux, since the Steam store page does have a Linux system requirements tab they simply said "We'll make it soon ;)".

  • You can now fulfil your dream of dungeon crawling as a mermaid in Serenade of the Sirens

    Wannabe mermaids of the world can now take down evil sirens in the dungeon crawler Serenade of the Sirens, now in Early Access.

  • How To Install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9 - idroot

    In this tutorial, we will show you how to install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9. For those of you who didn’t know, MongoDB is a high-performance, highly scalable document-oriented NoSQL database. Unlike in SQL databases where data is stored in rows and columns inside tables, in MongoDB, data is structured in JSON-like format inside records which are referred to as documents. The open-source attribute of MongoDB as a database software makes it an ideal candidate for almost any database-related project. This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation of the MongoDB NoSQL database on AlmaLinux 9. You can follow the same instructions for CentOS and Rocky Linux.

  • Self-host a Ghost Blog With Traefik

    Ghost is a very popular open-source content management system. Started as an alternative to WordPress and it went on to become an alternative to Substack by focusing on membership and newsletter. The creators of Ghost offer managed Pro hosting but it may not fit everyone's budget. Alternatively, you can self-host it on your own cloud servers. On Linux handbook, we already have a guide on deploying Ghost with Docker in a reverse proxy setup. Instead of Ngnix reverse proxy, you can also use another software called Traefik with Docker. It is a popular open-source cloud-native application proxy, API Gateway, Edge-router, and more. I use Traefik to secure my websites using an SSL certificate obtained from Let's Encrypt. Once deployed, Traefik can automatically manage your certificates and their renewals. In this tutorial, I'll share the necessary steps for deploying a Ghost blog with Docker and Traefik.
