  • AreWeAntiCheatYet

    A comprehensive and crowd-sourced list of games using anti-cheats and their compatibility with GNU/Linux or Wine.

  • You can look up how the current situation is on https://areweanticheatyet.com/

  • manjarno

    Why you shouldn't use Manjaro (by EmeraldSnorlax)

  • No, manjaro is definitely not the most user-friendly distro. And they did some pretty bad stuff. Also, stop recommending arch based distros to new users.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • piper

    GTK application to configure gaming devices

  • Sure you can. This works great for my G502 and G603.

  • SDL

    Simple Directmedia Layer

  • Thankfully games built on SDL have a fair bit of forward compatibility. They're not directly driving audio/video themselves. Looks like a commit last October even fixed the longstanding issue of mouse warp being unsupported on Wayland.

  • gamescope

    Discontinued SteamOS session compositing window manager [Moved to: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope] (by Plagman)

  • The Wayland protocol for disabling vsync was merged two months ago. As was the kwin implementation. And the gamescope implementation.

  • xdg-desktop-portal

    Desktop integration portal

  • The biggest problem with Wayland's security model is the inability for apps to listen to key presses when not focussed (No global shortcuts). xdg-desktop-portal finally added a portal to address that a couple months ago and KDE implemented it ~2 months ago including Xwayland compatibility.

  • open-gpu-kernel-modules

    NVIDIA Linux open GPU kernel module source

  • Recently they changed their mind though, and open sourced their drivers at https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules. Now the driver developers are working on integrating those drivers into mesa (mesa is a project which has drivers for all intel and amd gpus). That project is called NVK

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
