📰 PS5 emulation finally arrives on the Steam Deck, achieving a milestone performance of, uh, 0.6 FPS
Getting an emulator working for the first time on a piece of hardware is no small feat. The beginning may look quite rough, but despite how badly it performs, it's still a good proof of concept that at least something is possible. I say this because someone has gotten a PS5 emulator running on their Steam Deck, and while it never breaks 1 FPS, it's still amazing that it even runs at all.

📰 Add multiple picture widgets to your Ubuntu desktop
If you remember that desktop picture widget for GNOME I wrote about last year, but found it a bit too basic for your personalisation preferences, you weren’t alone. Another user felt it could lacked enough flexibility, so forked and improved it. Picture Desktop Widget Remake improves on the original. It lets add multiple picture widgets to your Ubuntu desktop, and assign each one a different folder to pull images from, at random.
