  • BulletRage might just be the most over the top twin-stick shooter I've ever played

    BulletRage, releasing later this year is a twin-stick shooter from Chimera One Games that promises non-stop action and I've had a play with a preview build. While the current preview build is limited, what's there is incredibly promising.

    Inspired by the likes of SmashTV, Contra, and Doom it's a very loud and in your face game. One where the action rarely seems to let up and it will require your absolute attention.

  • Toy soldier shooter 'The Mean Greens - Plastic Warfare' has another big update and a price drop

    The Mean Greens - Plastic Warfare, which returned to having official Linux support recently has another big update out and they've dropped the price too.

    Patch 1.25 named "Your Dollar's Still Kickin' Butt!" is now out and it comes with quite a few improvements. For Linux gamers specifically, they're hoping this patch will solve some lighting issues on the Toybox Assault map. If it does and Linux gamers confirm it to them, they will roll that same fix out to the other maps.

  • Lutris 0.5.0 Includes Revamped UI, GOG Support, Built-in Game Database Search And Installation

    Lutris, a tool to install and manage games on Linux, had a large new release recently. The new version includes a revamped user interface, GOG support, and more.

    With the 0.5.0 release, Lutris comes with a revamped, more modern user interface with header bars, a GtkPopover for the view options, and a new game information and actions sidebar on the right.

  • Purism announces a partnership with GDquest to develop adaptive game tutorials

    We are happy to announce our forthcoming partnership with GDquest – one that we hope will make the world a happier, more fun place.

    Libre/indie game designers might like to know that Nathan Lovato – game design expert, founder and game design instructor at GDquest – will be making a series of tutorials, explaining how to make adaptive games with high-quality libre game engine Godot; tutorials showing how games can both be created and released on the Librem 5 smartphone, and later submitted to the PureOS store.

    The first of the three video tutorials will focus on how to create a mobile game for GNU/Linux. It will also help conceive and design a 2D mobile game, and tackle design issues that are unique to mobile games – such as having a small screen, dealing with touch controls and any performance and usability issues. By loading Flossy Gnu in Godot, the tutorial demonstrates how these performance and usability issues are to be addressed. Specific tips for GNU/Linux in general, and for the Librem 5 in particular, are of course also to be noted and discussed.

  • 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.
