The Triple-i Initiative gaming showcase returns for 2025 with a teaser https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2025/03/the-triple-i-initiative-gaming-showcase-returns-for-2025-with-a-teaser/

Hardest part was getting the CI to do the build. Azure will only runs one build at a time (without paying a lot of money) so builds now take 1/3 longer at 20 mins. I also think these builds are being done on an 486 in the corner of Steve Ballmers old office.

The Linux build of Death by Scrolling is working now, including Linux on the Steam Deck. We now have Mac, Windows and Linux.

Wine 10.3 released with clipboard support in the Wayland driver, initial Vulkan video decoder support https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2025/03/wine-10-3-released-with-clipboard-support-in-the-wayland-driver-initial-vulkan-video-decoder-support/

It's now possible to do a complete playthrough of Cyber Knights!

We just added the very first retirement storyline!

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1021210/view/501692943024783671

This end-game storyline plays out over the course of 10 missions and culminates in an opportunity for your Cyber Knight (and perhaps some of your squad members) to at last escape to a better life.

It'll take talent, gear, and guts to pull it off. Have you put together a squad that can handle it?

I really want to get a new controller for my linux gaming PC running Bazzite and docked Steam Deck play. I bought one of the cheap PXN controllers and was pretty impressed with it, but the right trigger was stuck in the hair trigger mode. I ended up returning it to Amazon. I was thinking of spending a little more on a Cyclone 2 from Gamesir.

Any thoughts or suggestions? I'd like gyro and back buttons (like the Steam Deck).

This was one of my first thoughts when playing through Museum of All Things: turn it into a speed run!

I’ll definitely be following along, this sounds chaotic in the best way. If you’re on Linux, grab the game off of Flathub; otherwise, head to may.as/moat for other platforms.

But alas, here we are - broken cargo grid that won't allow me to detach my refined cargo. Several hours of mining wasted. Storing/retrieving and even blowing up the ship returns the same result, cargo stuck...

Sometimes I hate this game

Bazzite/Linux Steam people, have you seen this? It would appear something to do with Steam Input plus Flatpak means a DualShock 4 doesn’t work correctly in some games. I’ve personally seen this with Ultimate Chicken Horse on Bazzite, but someone is reporting the same thing with Museum of All Things from Flathub:
