  • Get some Boomer Shooters in the latest Humble Bundle | GamingOnLinux

    Ready for some retro shooter action? Humble has a mighty fine Best of Boomer Shooters Bundle available now. As usual, here's a rundown of what titles are in and what you can expect to see on Steam Deck and normal Linux desktops. Bundles will probably look like this for a while with many not going through Deck Verified yet.

  • Hey Linux Users: New Steam Deck Owners Really Need Your Help

    Valve’s Steam Deck is capable of being much more than a handheld game console. It doubles as a powerful Linux PC that could realistically be your daily driver. Because of that, some experienced PC gamers may feel completely out of their depth when booting into the Steam Deck’s desktop mode. It’s a potentially foreign land full of new acronyms and terminology, unfamiliar menus, and a strange concept known as The Terminal.

  • Valve Issues SteamOS Warning To Curious Steam Deck Users

    This week Valve quietly released a new SteamOS image, but it’s not the one so many curious PC users (myself included) are waiting for. The 2.5GB image is for recovering, repairing or re-imaging your Steam Deck and not the highly anticipated, complete version of SteamOS 3.0 that you can install on any PC.

  • OneXPlayer Mini VS Steam Deck: Which one you should buy? [Ed: Arch Linux, SteamOS 3.0 at $399, Vista 11 at $840; so you pay more than double for Windows!]

    It’s been a pretty crazy week for higher-end handheld PC gaming systems, with Valve’s Steam Deck launching just a week ago, with our lord and savior Gabe Newell hand-delivering consoles to the public like some kind of wandering demigod. Anyway, into the fold comes the OneXPlayer Mini AMD, which features a brand-new AMD CPU, in a smaller form factor than the likes of Valve’s long sold-out handheld console. But, is it going to be any good, and is it going to be worth jumping at this device, instead of getting yourself a Steam Deck? We’ll go through everything that you possibly need to know about getting one of these devices.

  • John Romero releases new Doom II map to “support the Ukrainian people”

    In a surprise treat for '90s first-person shooter fans, Doom series co-creator John Romero emerged this week with a brand-new map for the 1994 classic Doom II. While it's priced somewhat high for this kind of content—€5 for a single old-school map—there's a good reason.

    Romero makes clear in the release's template file that this WAD's sale is intended to "raise funds to support the Ukrainian people." It can be purchased at his personal shop site, where he says all proceeds will go toward two humanitarian organizations: the Ukrainian Red Cross and the UN Central Emergency Response Fund. (On the non-charity front, Romero's store also sells a bunch of Doom-era goodies.)

  • Trying to play Destiny 2 on the Steam Deck could get you banned

    In brief: Are you looking forward to playing Destiny 2 on the Steam Deck? You may want to temper those hopes; developer Bungie is warning that doing so could result in a ban from the looter shooter. Like Fortnite, Destiny 2 isn’t officially supported on the Arch Linux-based SteamOS used by Valve’s new handheld, and its developer doesn’t want people trying to circumvent the incompatibility measures.

    [...]

    There’s also a warning for anyone who tries to get Destiny 2 running on SteamOS: “Players who attempt to bypass Destiny 2 incompatibility will be met with a game ban.”

  • Google Stadia works with the Steam Deck, but waiting on an update to use game pad [U]

    Valve has officially released its PC gaming-focused portable handheld this week, and the flexible machine has garnered a fair bit of praise for its performance on local games. However, if you were hoping to play cloud games from Google Stadia and similar services on the Steam Deck, it seems you’re in for a rude surprise.

  • Why Call of Duty: Warzone is not on Steam Deck?

    Fans might be disappointed, but that doesn't eliminate the fact that Valve's new handheld device runs on Steam OS 3.0, based on Arch Linux architecture. It is a custom build of Linux made out of Wine and Proton and does not support anti-cheats that run at the kernel level.

  • 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.
