Valve is persuading the HDMI Forum to allow open source support for HDMI 2.1 on Linux (SteamOS) without restrictions 💫
This video standard brawl isn't a do-or-die problem for the Steam Machine - most won’t even notice.
The HDMI Forum holds Linux gaming back artificially tho. Society could just drop HDMI, adopting free'er DisplayPort where common sense is missing 😉
If Valve succeeds towards '26 - it'll be a huge victory for all.

I don’t use it often (prefer physical books), but I’ve had success with Foliate.

Yet another example on how Linux is one joyful diverse family 🌈 😎
..SteamOS migrated to Arch Linux base - but the Steam Linux Runtime is using Debian as its basis..
There's absolutely no need for fussbuzz - ignore da bad actors *trying to pick on Linux ecosystem* - embrace yer choices & enjoy the ride. True Linux is friendly community ✌️

We had an event last night at a low income housing community here in Olympia. We brought some Nixbooks, gave them away and showed people how to use them.
These people are NOT technical and still all said that Nixbook was far easier to use than any other computer they had used in the past.
All these laptops were headed for the scrapyard, but now thanks to Linux are out there changing peoples lives. :)

Zoom Platform is an alternative DRM-free game store | Heroic Games Launcher to support it for extra convenience ✅
...And nooo don't confuse it with that video conferencing thingy.... Sometimes these naming choices....
Maybe we'll have itch.io on Heroic soon too for a wonderful one spot experience to these lesser known DRM-free choices 🙏

Dear #GetFediHired,
Despite “my” contract ending with the end of the year, but the company being a side in that contract decided to kick out some people, including me, earlier. So their Christmas present for me is the lack of a job.
So I'm looking for opportunities for a jack of all trades #Linux sysadmin, with broad, 10y+ experience in system and applications administration. Preferred location would be #Strasbourg.
Please boost 🔁
