  • ELDEN RING is out and Verified for Steam Deck | GamingOnLinux

    ELDEN RING is the latest game developed by FromSoftware who are known for games including Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and Dark Souls. It's out now, with a Steam Deck Verified rating - so it works on Linux with Steam Play Proton. Note: copy personally purchased thanks to our supporters.

  • A Gameport Joystick To USB-MIDI Converter | Hackaday

    These days, live music performance often involves electronic synthesizers and computers rather than traditional instruments played by hand. To aid in his own performances, [alekappa] built a special interface to take signals from a joystick and convert them to MIDI messages carried over USB.

    [...]

    This data is then converted into control changes, note triggers and velocity levels and sent out over the Teensy LC’s USB interface. A mode switch enables changes to the system’s behaviour to be quickly made. The device is wrapped up in a convenient housing nabbed from an old Gameport-to-USB converter from many years ago.

  • RimWorld upgrades for Steam Deck delayed by the situation in Ukraine | GamingOnLinux

    RimWorld will be getting some upgrades to make it look great on the Steam Deck but it's going to take a little longer.

    In a statement released on Steam, Ludeon Studios head wrote that the developer who was working on it lives in Ukraine, and the situation there right now of course is terrifying. They mentioned getting a Deck to this developer was delayed and the current situation means progress couldn't be made on it. Another developer is now taking over the Steam Deck upgrades instead but it's going to take a little bit longer.

  • THQ Nordic do a nice little overview of their games for Steam Deck | GamingOnLinux

    The Steam Deck is so close to release you can almost touch it and so we're seeing a trickle of more news come in. One bit is publisher THQ Nordic, who have released a short video.

    It might not be the longest video you will watch today, and it doesn't actually show a Steam Deck. That's not the point though! Developers and publishers are talking about it and they're clearly quite excited. We can't actually embed the video here for you to see, as once again Google has slapped an Age Gate on it, which only works directly on YouTube.

  • The Steam Deck has released, here's my initial review

    The Steam Deck has arrived and Valve were kind enough to ship GamingOnLinux a review unit — here’s my own initial thoughts after spending a couple weeks with it.

  • A brief tour of the Steam Deck’s Linux implementation | Ars Technica

    Our Steam Deck review is now live, and it's massive—almost as big as Valve's new portable PC. With that in mind, I decided to write a shorter article about the Steam Deck's implementation of Linux since a lot of Ars Technica readers are interested in that use case.

    Our full review goes into greater detail about installing and playing Windows games through Valve's customized Wine compatibility layer, dubbed Steam Proton. This is the default way to access your favorite Steam games, and as our review explores, that proposition is currently iffy. But that's not the same as using the Deck as a Linux machine. In this companion article, we'll explain what's going on with Valve's first dedicated Linux PC and what it currently can (and cannot) do.

  • Steam Deck desktop mode plus other stores — Epic Games Store | GamingOnLinux

    You have your shiny new Steam Deck, which I’ve gone over in an initial look on — but what about desktop mode apps and other stores? I’ve also been testing that with the Epic Games Store.

    The Steam Deck comes with a full desktop mode too outside of the Steam UI. The desktop environment is KDE Plasma (my own favourite Linux desktop) and so people familiar with Windows should feel quite at home. A perfect choice in this reviewer's opinion. You also do not need developer mode to access it. You just hit the Steam menu, select Power and then Switch to Desktop. To get back to Deck UI, you just Log Off from the Plasma menu.

  • Proton Experimental gets a fresh update, Dragon Quest Builders 2 playable | GamingOnLinux

    Now the Steam Deck is out, Valve has pushed out a fresh upgrade to Proton Experimental, the special testing area you can try with all the latest but less-tested fixes and improvements for running Windows games on Linux desktop and Steam Deck. Want to know more about Steam Play Proton? See our dedicated guide.

  • The Steam Deck Launches with 825 Games (Playable and Verified) including Elden Ring (with Video Footage)! - Boiling Steam

    This is the big day! The first emails for those who pre-ordered the Steam Deck should have reached or in the process of reaching customers! At the latest count, the Steam Deck launches with 825 Games, split in two categories...

  • How to install go1.19beta on Ubuntu 22.04 – NextGenTips

    In this tutorial, we are going to explore how to install go on Ubuntu 22.04 Golang is an open-source programming language that is easy to learn and use. It is built-in concurrency and has a robust standard library. It is reliable, builds fast, and efficient software that scales fast. Its concurrency mechanisms make it easy to write programs that get the most out of multicore and networked machines, while its novel-type systems enable flexible and modular program constructions. Go compiles quickly to machine code and has the convenience of garbage collection and the power of run-time reflection. In this guide, we are going to learn how to install golang 1.19beta on Ubuntu 22.04. Go 1.19beta1 is not yet released. There is so much work in progress with all the documentation.

  • 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.
