I’ve added a link in the navigation bar to access LGC’s “timeless” articles. Guides, game reviews, interviews with developers, and whatever else I may cover. As LGC constantly provides new articles every day, these older articles can be difficult to find. So, I made this page to make finding these articles easier. So far I’ve got the Slippi guide, tips for playing GRID Legends on NVIDIA graphics cards, how to use the Steam Deck UI, the Project Heartbeat review, and a few developer interviews.

I invite you to take a look at the first step in the interview process at Canonical: Image credit: Reddit and the original poster Read that for a few minutes and tell me whether the interview process is absurd, or someone at Canonical has just too much time on their hands. First, the spelling error in the first sentence: “to joint the Ubuntu WSL engineering team.” Second, “very occasionally.” It should just be “occasionally.

Was hoping to get this out yesterday but time flies. Hope a day late isn’t going to bother anyone. News Steam Deck-related ETA Prime – A YouTuber that mostly focuses on emulation – released a Steam Deck review last week, and covers the gaming as well as the emulation aspect of the Deck. Needless to say, the Deck is one of the most powerful handhelds out there for emulation. Gameranx also had a video review That Boiling Steam contributer that got a Steam Deck?

Thomas Castleman is the creator of the Drauger OS distribution, based off of Ubuntu. Thomas’ goal is to provide gamers a pleasant gaming experience by shipping the Xanmod kernel, a lightweight desktop environment, and stability by using Ubuntu as the base. A while back I had reviewed the distro when it was in its’ early stages on Boiling Steam, but now I had wanted to check in with him and see how Drauger OS is doing these days.

Super Smash Bros. Melee. The game I will cherish to time indefinite. I won’t spend this article on my fascinations with this game (although I may do that in a separate post); let’s get right to the point. Let’s get this game set up on your Linux machine (and maybe your Steam Deck?) so you can start playing the game online with others…with rollback netcode! The process really isn’t that complicated, but this guide should give you some tips on how to get the best experience.

I happened to be subscribed to The Linux Experiment’s YouTube channel. I noticed a new video he posted yesterday regarding the strengths Fedora has over the last couple of months he’s used the distro. Other mainstream Fedora users include Adam Adamou, chief strategy officer at OverActive Media (esports organization), and the developer of Proton GE. And now Nick is the latest to join the Fedora crusade. Canonical had paved the way to Linux adoption; Ubuntu had a decent software lineup, an easy-to-use interface, and it was “pushing innovation in the desktop space.

Steve from TronicsFix released a video less than two weeks ago where he tore down three new DualSense controllers from Sony. The newer models – the pink, purple, and light blue – seemed to have a slightly different motherboard layout. But what he found out as he was taking it apart was the analog sticks could potentially be upgraded. The potentiometer is the same color all around – before, there was one side where the color was different.

I’ve added a newsletter service for those of you who wish to get their LGC news delivered to their inbox. The newsletter is hand-curated, powered by TinyLetter, and will be sent every night around 10-11 PM EST. The newsletter will contain the posts that were made on that day. If I can figure it out I will try to make the newsletter feed automated and sent at the exact time every night.

If you have GRID Legends but have been tired of the constant crashing on NVIDIA graphics cards, well, I may very well have a solution to that. The TL;DR of this article is essentially: add dxvk.conf to the game’s installation directory, then add dxgi.nvapiHack = False to get rid of the AMD driver error on launch Use Medium graphics settings or lower to avoid crashes I got GRID Legends as part of my subscription to EA Play.

As the Steam Deck has seemed to launch a new foray of Flatpak-based applications, Ryujinx is the latest to join to crusade. The request was made on the project’s GitHub issue tracker two years ago. Now it’s finally available on Flathub. The announcement was posted just a few hours ago on their Discord channel. You can install Ryujinx on the Steam Deck now with the Discover app. Apparently there’s at least 91 of you who have a Steam Deck and are part of the Ryujinx Discord, so go ahead and give it a shot!
