Notebook Check ☛ PlayStation 5 gains near-native PS3 game support through RPCS3 on Linux
In late April 2026, modder Andy Nguyen released PS5-Linux for PlayStation 5 consoles running firmware 3.xx and 4.xx. With Linux installed, the system can essentially work like a regular PC, which also opens the door to emulation, and that's what another modder just showed off.

Boiling Steam ☛ Ink Inside: Review
Ink Inside is a stylized 2D hand-drawn action roguelite that takes place within the literal pages of a discarded sketchbook. You play as Stick, a simple doodle who awakens to find the sketchbook being attacked by a mysterious, oily sludge that is erasing the world and its inhabitants. You are on to a quest to save the world and its drawings from the sludge, across various biomes. What’s unique about this game is that it did not start as a game. It was a cartoon written for Nickelodeon - somehow the project did not end up being produced, and the devs turned to video games as a medium to continue their work. It’s supposed to be a story in three parts, and Ink Inside is the first episode while it’s a complete game in itself. You can expect about 10~12 hours of gameplay.

Omarchy 3.7 Linux Distro Launches as a Gaming Edition | TechPowerUp
Omarchy 3.7 is out, and gaming is the headline feature. The Arch-based distro led by David Heinemeier Hansson has rolled out what it's calling a Gaming Edition update, overhauling Linux gaming support across the board. Steam now installs automatically without any user input and drops the problematic SDL_VIDEODRIVER environment variable that was causing compatibility issues with many games. RetroArch got a bigger overhaul, the AUR dependency is gone, making installation much faster, and the emulator comes pre-configured out of the box. Users can now drop their BIOS and ROM files into ~/Games, scan the directory, and they're ready to go with the CRT Royale shader enabled by default. Beyond emulation, Omarchy 3.7 adds launchers for Lutris (Battle.net games like Diablo, StarCraft, and WoW), Heroic (Epic Games titles without anti-cheat, so no Fortnite or Rocket League), and Moonlight for streaming games from a Windows PC running Sunshine. An Xbox Cloud Gaming web app rounds out the gaming additions, covering Game Pass titles including ones that won't run natively on Linux.
