Factorio is great, I’m also a fan of X4.

To quote Microsoft themselves on the feature;

“No content moderation” is the most important part here, it will happily steal any and all corporate secrets it can see, since Microsoft haven’t given it a way not to.

It’s great to see more full-AMD hardware from TUXEDO. I’m currently using their Aura 15 Gen2, and my only complaint is about the fingerprint sensor - which isn’t even really a TUXEDO issue as they have written and submitted a patch upstream for libfprint which makes it work. (And since I’m using Gentoo I’ve just dropped that patch into my local portage tree until upstream merges it)
They’re definitely not the cheapest computer vendor, but their quality is good and their support is great. No odd boot behaviors, ACPI errors, random device disappearances, etc, like I’ve had with other non-Linux-first vendors.

Apparently the new OLED screen will be available through iFixit

Been running ChimeraOS - though it was GamerOS when I installed it - on an Atari VCS for a while now, it does great as a low-powered couch gaming box.

Doesn’t look like so in the beta at least, it will always launch in an SDL window - and doesn’t link to the curses libs either, which makes some sense with it being a Steam game.
Though using dfhack and the remote interface could probably still be used to have a tty client.

Freelancer’s installer has had some issues with Linux in the past, it actually uses a couple of really odd side effects of Windows API calls as part of its functionality - which has caused issues on actual Windows as well for some people.

If you’re using Lutris, my suggestion is to use the add new game button in the interface - the plus in the top-left, and choose “Install a Windows game from an executable”, then you’ll get a perfectly clean prefix for that part.

And I’m also going to take the opportunity to add a link to Librelancer, an open-source remake of the Freelancer engine which has been going on for a while, not quite yet to the point where it can play the campaign though.
