It's great to have gaming heavyweights like Valve and Epic committed to Linux
🚨 Linux 7.3 is almost here, and Valve has been BUSY improving Linux gaming! 🔥 • Initial kernel support for the 2026 Steam Controller • Valve helped develop a new MSI Claw gamepad driver, including button and RGB controls • Better gaming performance when GPUs run low on VRAM, particularly relevant around 8GB configurations • Valve contributed improved GPU reset recovery for older AMD GPUs • Older AMD GCN GPUs gain DRM format modifier support thanks to Valve • Intel Nova Lake Xe3P graphics are now considered stable and enabled by default • Nouveau gains NVDEC groundwork needed for NVK Vulkan Video support • More AMD Zen 6 preparation • Scheduler improvements could improve gaming performance, particularly on older hardware • Faster Btrfs and other major I/O improvements With Steam Machine, Steam Frame, third-party handhelds and the new Steam Controller entering the picture, Linux 7.3 could be an important kernel for Valve’s next generation of hardware. 👀

BREAKING: French police have encountered rioters and looters armed with AK47s and Scorpion submachine guns on the streets of Paris, Marseille and Lyon. The information comes from the Le Journal du Dimanche journalist Laura Tchekov, who says that her newspaper has received this information from sources within the DGSI, France’s main internal security agency. The weapons were carried by minors and young adults described as being part of organized crime groups but sometimes also close to the Islamist movement in France. The journalist says that not all armed rioters were arrested and that several of them remain on free foot. It’s believed that police officers refrained from making arrests as they thought they could be both outmanned and outgunned at the moment and that hundreds of people were on the streets, creating a risk of a shoot-out that could have resulted in a large number of wounded and dead.

While it hasn’t yet fully passed, and is not yet Law.. Pennsylvania is about to dab all over the rest of us. Game Wardens being able to ignore the 4th and 5th Amendments has been an absolute plague on this country. Again, not yet passed, but it is the winds blowing in the right direction.

One of the most unforgettable stories featured in Titanic (1997) was inspired by the real-life courage of Benjamin Guggenheim, a wealthy American businessman traveling in first class when the ship struck an iceberg on April 14, 1912. As the Titanic began sinking and lifeboats were being filled primarily with women and children, Guggenheim reportedly chose not to seek a place for himself. Instead, he and his valet, Victor Giglio, returned to their cabin and changed into formal evening attire, determined to face their final moments with dignity. Guggenheim is famously remembered for reportedly declaring that he wished to “die like a gentleman.” According to survivor accounts, he also entrusted a steward with a final message for his wife, explaining that he had fulfilled his duty and that no woman would be left aboard the ship because Benjamin Guggenheim had acted like a coward. His story remains one of the Titanic disaster’s most poignant accounts of courage, sacrifice, and honor in the face of certain death.
