📰 Fedora 44 will automatically make your Windows games run faster, no tweaks required
Don't get me wrong; gaming on Linux has come a long way in the last few years. A decade ago, getting any game running on Linux that wasn't designed natively for it was a massive headache at best and impossible at worst. Now, thanks to the efforts from several sources, such as Valve with Proton, it seems like 2026 may be the year of gaming on Linux after all.

📰 RadeonSI Driver Lands Fixes For EDuke32 For Those Wanting To Enjoy Duke Nukem 3D In 2026
