More likely to happen via recompilation, if anything. Game ports via recompilation have been taking off in the last month or so, all the way up to systems as recent as the PS5 and Switch 1. It has far less overhead than emulation.

This looks nice, I will try it out.

The README could use more of a human touch, though… it’s pretty hard to read.

I don’t see options for thirds, though. Even on an UltraWide monitor.

There’s a one-click button to convert from discussion to issue (and vice versa). It’s hardly more work. But I do feel like discussions are kind of hidden and out of the way on GitHub.

On repos I maintain, I use an “untriaged” label for issues and I convert questions to discussions at issue triage time.

Re:Bluefin LTS Is Released on Friday September 19, 2025 @01:49AM (#45298333)
After about 5 years away from desktop Linux, I have now been using Bluefin/Bazzite for the past few months as a Windows/MacOS replacement on my personal desktop and laptop.

I knew that Bazzite was supposedly good for gaming but never looked into it any more than that. When I eventually learned about Bluefin, I was surprised to find that it, Bazzite, and all the other Universal Blue “distros” are built with the same container-native tech that I use every day at work. Needless to say I was immediately sold.

I have been very impressed so far. I don’t find the immutable OS limiting in my day-to-day work at all. I guess I’m all about that “defaults lifestyle” now.

I’ve a Blynclight that basically does what you describe. However the integration with Teams is kind of flaky.

Re:Linux touchpad like a MacBook Pro, May 2020 update on Tuesday May 05, 2020 @12:22PM (#23081723)
The acceleration curve on the Mac trackpad is unparalleled. I wonder if it’s possible to reverse engineer it using a mouse (or a “fake” mouse via a teensy or something). That being said, I can’t stand using a mouse with the same acceleration, I have to install an app to disable it.
