  • Proton's Recent Push to Reduce the Number of Borked Games - Boiling Steam

    We track ProtonDB extensively at Boiling Steam, because it’s a trove of data that can be used to learn more about several aspects of the Linux Gaming Market. One of things we check is the number of games with equivalent ratings of Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze and Borked (just like it is/used to be on WineHQ). Back in 2018, ProtonDB asked its users to rate how each game fared based on their experience, which led to inconsistencies: One’s Gold is another one’s Platinum.

    To remedy to that, ProtonDB introduced a new ratings system since late 2019, asking instead specific questions about what worked/did not work with each game, and deriving a calculated rating based on that.

  • box86 and box64 get Steam Play Proton working much better on Arm devices | GamingOnLinux

    Are you planning to do some gaming on Arm devices? You need to take a look at the box86 and box64 projects, which are really quite impressive. Since the majority of software (especially games) are built for x86 processors (the usual Intel / AMD crop), Arm needs something stuck in between to get them running and that's exactly what these projects do.

    Split across 32bit and 64bit, box86 and box64 both recently had major updates and a fun highlight on both is that the developer noted they have plenty of fixes and improvements to get both Steam and Steam Play Proton working — so Linux gaming on Arm is about to see a nice boost with these.

  • Open source evolution sim Thrive goes Multicellular in the latest update | GamingOnLinux

    The Multicellular evolution has begun, for the open source game Thrive that is. Currently in Early Access, it continues to show off an impressive design.

    With version 0.5.8 the first big addition is a prototype of the Multicellular Stage. For this, once you've gained the nucleus and binding agents, you will be able to jump onto the next stage of life. As it's in the early stages of development though, it's somewhat limited with only the Budding reproductive method available right now. Before this part of the game is fully sorted, they continue working on the microbe stage. The other big addition is signalling agents, enabling you to communicate with allied cells which opens up the game even more.

  • ProtonUp-Qt v2.6.1 adds support for the Heroic Launcher Flatpak | GamingOnLinux

    ProtonUp-Qt gives you an incredibly easy way to install compatibility layers on Linux like GE-Proton (formerly Proton GE), Lutris-Wine, Luxtorpeda and more.

    The developer just recently put up version 2.6.1, which as a bit of a highlight should now work nicely with the Flatpak version of the Heroic Games Launcher (for the Epic Games Store). This is especially good for the Steam Deck, where I imagine most people will be using the Flatpak, since it's easy to install and update via the Discover software centre.

  • 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.
