FFW 31.1- All-New Pangolin Available Now from System 76

I talked this machine up about a month ago, when it was first announced by the boys and girls at System 76. It is an All-AMD laptop with up to a Ryzen 7 6800U processor, a standard 32 GB DDR5, up to 16 TB NVME storage, and a 144hz Full-HD panel in a 15.6” form factor. It starts at $1299 for a 250 GB model with the rest of the specs the same.

FFW 31.2: Steam for Linux Turns 10

That’s right, 10 years ago, Steam for Linux left beta and had its first full release, starting the journey out of the dark times for Linux Gaming. Has the journey been a straight line? Nope. It has had its twists and turns, false starts and whoopsie-daisies, but we are now to the point where normies buy Steam Decks and have no clue that they are gaming on a Linux PC, because it has gotten so good. Good job, Valve! Thank you for making the effort to pour time and resources into making Linux viable for more people.

FFW 31.3: New Lutris Version in Beta, adds LOADS of Goodies

Lutris is a game archiving tool which most people use as a Steam alternative. What’s new here?

· Add support for Proton.
· Add drag and drop on the main window.
· Add su pport for ModDB links in installers (moddb python module required).
· Added "Missing" sidebar option for games whose directory is missing.
· Re-style the configuration, preferences, installer and add-games windows.
· Group configuration options into sections.
· Added checkbox to stop asking for the launch config for a game.
· Support for launch-configs in shortcuts and the command line.
· The add-games window can now create 32-bit WINE prefixes.
· Add filter field to runner list.
· Show game count in search bar.
· Workaround Humble Bundle authentication issues by allowing importing cookies from Firefox.
· Add Itch.io integration.
· Add Battle.net integration (protobuf dependency required).
· Improve detection of DOSBox games on GOG.
· Added "Unspecified" Vulkan ICD option.
· Removed ResidualVM (now merged into ScummVM).

Wait, Proton, itch.io, and Battle.Net support all in the same update? Yes, please! This sounds awesome, and I look forward to the full version being released for this wonderful software.
