📰 I stopped organizing my NAS like a PC, and everything got easier to back up and maintain
A network-attached storage (NAS) device isn't just another computer on the network. On your PC, you'll have a folder structure with one dedicated to documents, downloads, desktop, and pictures. That's usually how many Linux distros, macOS, and Windows handle things. It works fine for storing files locally, but things can quickly spiral out of control when you've added a few files to the system.

📰 Classic Capcom horror games are now playable on Linux's Proton—here's how to try them early
It was great to see Dino Crisis finally land on Steam earlier this year. Any effort to preserve the classics, clunky or not, should be applauded, as they show us just how far gaming has come since the early days. However, there was just one problem; while Dino Crisis 1 and 2 were being sold on Steam, they didn't want to play nicely on Linux or the Steam Deck.
