Where to play Spybotics: The Nightfall Incident in 2023
Since flash is gone its gotten harder to play the game online. I recommend https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/ Flashpoint since it is the restored original flash experience. You do have to download flashpoint but it is free, easy and there's tons of other saved flash games too. There are remakes out there but none will be identical to the original, which you get by using flashpoint.

Is LOOP (2001) playable online? Anyone remember this game? I can’t find an active play link. Can you help? Eric Zimmerman was the creator for Moby Games. It was an awesome online game.
https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/downloads/ you can download it from here, use the Infinity version since it's just the basic things.

Valve says Steam users don't own a thing, GOG says its games can't be taken away
Steam (via Proton) generally works, though, for those who wish to use it. (Steam+Proton works with things downloaded from outside of Steam, too, and has for years[0].)
Proton itself is open-source: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton
If someone wanted to package up standalone Proton binaries for a Linux distro, then I don't see any particular barriers that would prevent that.
On GoG's part, they do provide the ability to just download a game in a web browser (the old-fashioned, DRM-free way). From there, I can manage the games I that own in any way that I choose.
So, I'm simply not seeing a problem here that needs solved. I already have the freedom to do whatever I want.

US Mac market share grew 22% in Q1, likely helped by new MacBook Air models
Don't you guys already have Proton? If you install Steam on Linux, a lot of games will just automatically run: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton

SUSE upgrades its distros with 19 years of support – no other Linux comes close
Until it isn't. https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/6051
No glibc will not fix it and the rolling release distros are now patching their libc.
Here is the list of ABI breaking changes:

Vulkan1.3 on the M1 in 1 Month
If I'm not mistaken, supporting MacOS with Proton was the implicit plan before Apple disabled 32-bit support in Catalina. Several people seem to have gotten early builds to compile on Mac with usable performance: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/1344

Ask HN: What makes Windows 11 perform much worse than Windows XP?
Better yet, use a container.
Distrobox[1] automates the process of running distros released in the past decade or so in a container.
For games in particular, Proton[2] (for Windows games) or one of the Steam container runtimes[3] (for native Linux games) might be worth a try.
For a non-Steam game, the easiest way to do this is probably:
1. Install and run the Linux Steam client (Steam account required).
2. Add the game to the Steam library: "Add a Game" → "Add a Non-Steam Game…".
3. Right click on the game, choose "Properties" → "Compatibility" → "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool", and choose a version of Proton or container runtime.
4. Make sure the selected Proton or container runtime version is installed (these are available in the Steam library by default; if you can't find them, click the dropdown above the search box in the Steam library and make sure "Tools" is checked).
5. Launch the game from the Steam library.

A New Era for Mixed Reality
The "Metaverse" is a complete joke, and among gamers, Valve has a way better reputation than Meta. Why would they want to dilute that brand?
They already have their own platform (Steam), OS (SteamOS), VR headset (Index), their own Windows translation layer (Proton, https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton), their own partnership with cloud gaming (Steam Cloud Play using GeForce Now , https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/features/cloudgaming), etc.
IMO: As someone with thousands of games on Steam, there's no way in hell I'd want that linked to Facebook. I think they eventually removed the requirement to have a FB account to use a Quest, but they still require a Meta account. Yuck.
This reeks of Facebook recognizing the Metaverse as the failure that it was and opening it up because it's no longer relevant...
