For those just joining us, this is for the new Nexus Mods app that will eventually replace things like Vortex with full Linux support so you can mod on desktop Linux and Steam Deck much easier as I reported on earlier in July and initially back in November last year.

Version 0.5.3 of the app includes all these fixes on top of experimental Cyberpunk 2077 support:

Windows: Fixed log file creation failing due to illegal character in path (#1728).

Linux: Upgraded GameFinder to fix an issue with not being able to find Steam installed as a Flatpak or Snap (#1720).

Just to note: it didn't initially launch for me, I had to remove the configs from the previous version to get this latest to work.

The bug was reported but given it's in Alpha, such breakages are to be expected and they don't plan to support migrations yet.

Hours after a battle in eastern Ukraine in August, a wounded and unarmed Russian soldier crawled through a nearly destroyed trench, seeking help from his captors, a unit of international volunteers led by an American.

The shooting of the unarmed, wounded Russian soldier is one of several killings that have unsettled the Chosen Company, one of the best-known units of international troops fighting on behalf of Ukraine.

In a second episode, a Chosen member lobbed a grenade at and killed a surrendering Russian soldier who had his hands raised, video footage reviewed by The Times shows.

In a third episode, Chosen members boasted in a group chat about killing Russian prisoners of war during a mission in October, text messages show.

A Greek soldier known as Zeus was at the center of all three episodes — tossing the grenade and, Mr. Grosse says, firing at the wounded Russian in the trench and bragging about another kill.

But in the United States military, a video showing the killing of a surrendering soldier, regardless of the circumstances, would prompt an immediate investigation, said Rachel E. VanLandingham, a professor at Southwestern Law School and a former U.S. Air Force lawyer.

Bazzite, the popular version of Linux powered by Fedora and Universal Blue that's great for handhelds including the Steam Deck, ASUS ROG Ally, Lenovo Legion Go and others needs a little manual user effort after a bit of human error.

Developer Jorge O. Castro noted in a forum post how they "were rotating our cosign keypairs this morning, which is the method that we use to sign our images" and unfortunately they "made a critical error which has resulted in forcing you to take manual steps to migrate to our newly signed images".

They have a script set up that you can run that will fix the problem, so all you have to do is run this in a terminal app (code source):

curl -sL https://fix.universal-blue.org/ | sudo bash

To ensure it doesn't ever happen again, they've noted some process changes to be implemented.

See all the details in the forum post announcement.

I wrote about the brand new Nexus mods app before, as it's quite a promising exciting development for the future of modding (especially for Linux and Steam Deck).

This is going to replace their previous apps like Vortex, eventually anyway.

Right now, it's only made ready for Stardew Valley, since it's a very popular game for mods and is also cross-platform so it makes it simpler for them to get all the features of the app ready.

Yesterday, July 1st, they announced the Alpha release of this next-generation mod manager and their new Product Manager got in touch to mention they "would be really keen to get feedback from Linux users".

So this is your chance to ensure Linux (and Steam Deck) finally become a first-class citizen for game modding.

You can grab it from their download page, and the source code is on GitHub.

While other vendors continually push out new handheld pc models, sticking similar internals into different shell designs and gradually bumping up RAM or the Processor, the Steam Deck just keeps selling like hot tasty cakes.

There's multiple other devices out there now that are in a few ways more powerful than the Steam Deck, but that hasn't seemed to matter a whole lot to Valve.

Especially since the release of the Steam Deck OLED, which was a pretty huge upgrade, it's constantly a global top seller for Valve.

When compared with other vendors like GPD, AYANEO, ASUS and all the others, Valve of course have the Steam store to back it up.

Other vendors don't really have anything like that, so Valve are in a more unique position to stick to one main model.

You only have to look at the new built-in Game Recording feature to see, and the upcoming SteamOS 3.6 that recently moved from Preview to Beta that again brings in some big additions.

While every month Valve has been posting a fresh set of the most played Steam Deck games for the previous month, they've now added a dedicated Steam Chart for it.

Like the most played for May and again for April.

So you no longer have to wait for Valve to post about what's currently hot, you can just go and see for yourself.

Like other Steam Charts you can filter it and with the Steam Deck chart it lets you view the most played games over the last week, month and year based on player counts.

For example, this is for the last week, and handily it shows the Deck Verified rating too:

While you're here, why not hop on over to our Forum to talk about Your favourite game so far of 2024?

The first pre-release is now available for testing, allowing you to give feedback before the final 3.0 release.

Naturally, if you don't want to deal with any breakage, you should wait for the the main 3.0 release.

Along with fixing the newest break in the steam beta, we're proud to announce we're releasing the first prerelease of Decky Loader 3.0, the websocket rewrite!

For users, it means a hopefully more stable experience with better error handling, as well as more in-depth progress indication in Decky and its plugins.

It's also allowed us to fix a bug where Decky would sometimes not start without an internet connection.

For plugin developers, it means a significantly easier to use API (it is now also asynchronous) and an easy way to do backend -> frontend communication.

Speaking on stage as part of an IGN Live interview, Spencer said directly that "I think we should have a handheld, too."

The comment stops just short of an official announcement that Microsoft is actively working on portable gaming hardware for the first time.

"The future for us in hardware is pretty awesome," Spencer continued during the IGN presentation.

Comments like these are a big change from internal Microsoft documents that leaked last September, which listed an Xbox portable as a "current gap in FY23" that is "not in scope for 1st party" (alongside potential products like a mobile controller, earbuds, and a media remote).

But Spencer was quick to call that leak "outdated" at the time, so it might not be the last word on Microsoft's portable gaming plans.

That feels like ancient history, though, in a world where everyone and their corporate subsidiary is looking to draft off the market success of the Steam Deck.

Playtron have teased their PlaytronOS, taking aim at the gaming space to compete with SteamOS with a Linux-powered system.

Many others are involved who have developer experience from the likes of Google, Amazon, Red Hat, Meta, Samsung, SEGA and more.

They say it aims to be "compatible with every game store" and to expect "many 3rd party integrations to come".

And they say to expect "Playtron on Laptops & PCs, TVs, XR and in Car in the coming years", so they're certainly aiming high with it.

Their current plan is to launch PlaytronOS for Steam Deck and other handheld gaming PCs "later this year" and that "Playtron 1st hand held PCs coming soon" — so we can expect to see some future handhelds launch with PlaytronOS.

While exciting, they have a huge uphill battle here and will no doubt have to do a lot of convincing when it comes to hardware vendors to actually use it.

The news of the Yuzu team agreeing to pay Nintendo $2.4 million in damages and immediately shut down all operations sent shock waves through the emulation landscape.

Quite awkward for the likes of EmuDeck, who announced that it would no longer support Yuzu or Citra as of the recently released Version 2.1.5.

A massive help for those don't want to spend time learning how to make emualtors work.

Due to the deletion of Yuzu and Citra from GitHub however, it's simply not possible for EmuDeck's scripts to download the emulators.

If you are upgrading from a previous version however then your installs of Yuzu and Citra won't be deleted.

Luckily if the memes are to be believed it's surprisingly easy to mod a Nintendo 3DS.

The 2.2 release includes some big changes like a new modified fsync kernel with enhanced hardware support, HDR and more.

You also get Nintendo HID support, a Webapp Manager, Pods as a default feature which is great for managing distrobox/containers, improvements to Steam Deck support, patches to Gamescope pulled in from ChimeraOS and tons of tweaks to both the GNOME and KDE desktop environments available.

Despite this project also being image-based, you are able to install any Fedora package straight from the command line.

These packages will persist across updates (So go ahead and install that obscure VPN software you spent an hour trying to get working in SteamOS).

Additionally, Bazzite is updated multiple times a week with packages from upstream Fedora, giving you the best possible performance and latest features - all on a stable base.

Bazzite ships with the latest Linux kernel and SELinux enabled by default with full support for secure boot (Run ujust enroll-secure-boot-key and enter the password ublue-os if prompted to enroll our key) and disk encryption, making this a sensible solution for general computing.

Democratic nations like the United States rarely politicize their economic statistics — although ask me again if Donald Trump returns to office — but authoritarian regimes often do.

President Xi Jinping is starting to look like a poor economic manager, whose propensity for arbitrary interventions — which is something autocrats tend to do — has stifled private initiative.

Well, international economists are fond of citing Dornbusch’s Law: “The crisis takes a much longer time coming than you think, and then it happens much faster than you would have thought.” What happened in China’s case was that the government was able to mask the problem of inadequate consumer spending for a number of years by promoting a gigantic real estate bubble.

To outside observers, what China must do seems straightforward: end financial repression and allow more of the economy’s income to flow through to households, and strengthen the social safety net so that consumers don’t feel the need to hoard cash.

And when it comes to strengthening the safety net, the leader of this supposedly communist regime sounds a bit like the governor of Mississippi, denouncing “welfarism” that creates “lazy people.”

Will it try to prop up its economy with an export surge that will run headlong into Western efforts to promote green technologies?

A set of encryption algorithms used to secure emergency radio communications will enter the public domain after an about-face by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).

The algorithms are used by TETRA – short for the Terrestrial Trunked Radio protocol – and they are operated by governments, law enforcement, military and emergency services organizations in Europe, the UK, and other countries.

In mid-2023, Netherlands-based security firm Midnight Blue disclosed five vulnerabilities affecting all TETRA radio networks that could allow criminals to decrypt and intercept communications in real time.

"The meeting was very well attended and had a wide spread of the TETRA community including operators, users, manufacturers and governments," ETSI committee chairman Brian Murgatroyd is quoted as saying in a statement.

The standards org hasn’t set a date for making the algorithms accessible, ETSI spokesperson Claire Boyer told The Register.

Some of these were disclosed by the Midnight Blue research team, which found the five vulnerabilities and released technical details of the flaws at the annual Black Hat and DEF CON security conferences in August 2023.

As part of the effort for enabling UEFI support with ReactOS, an open-source operating system re-implementing binary compatibility with Microsoft Windows, a development build of ReactOS is up and running on Valve's Steam Deck handheld game console.

While not suitable for any serious gaming yet with the binary compatibility of ReactOS for modern Windows games still being rather limited especially among Windows device driver support, in early experimental form this open-source OS is up and running on the Steam Deck!

For months there has been work on UEFI support for ReactOS that can be tracked via this pull request.

The ReactOS crew shared that with the work-in-progress code one of the developers is able to run ReactOS on the AMD-powered Steam Deck: Behind the scenes, @The_DarkFire__ has been working on bringing UEFI support to #ReactOS!And here's a surprise by him: With a PR, ReactOS running in Steam Deck!!

!Work in progress.For more information, see here: https://t.co/woLpr8PY6U pic.twitter.com/1DKQKJUXG2— ReactOS (@reactos) September 13, 2023 While it may not be entirely practical at this stage given the limited device driver and modern game binary compatibility with ReactOS, it's an interesting milestone nevertheless for this open-source project.
