📰 KDE Plasma 6.7 will finally fix the most annoying part of tweaking your microphone volume

As much as I hate hearing myself over a microphone, I have to admit that listening to yourself while adjusting your mic volume is vital. That way, you know you're not coming through too quietly or too loudly, and you can get a feel for the audio quality, too. Windows has had this feature for a while now, but unfortunately, KDE Plasma won't let you.

Реализация игры DOOM, использующая для отрисовки только CSS

Представлен проект cssDOOM, подготовивший реализацию игры DOOM, использующую для отрисовки только CSS, без применения элемента canvas и WebGL. Всё что выводится на экран, включая спрайты, текстурированные стены, уровни и эффекты, оформлено через стилизованные при помощи CSS элементы ‹div›, размещаемые в 3D-пространстве при помощи CSS-свойств "transform" и"transform-style: preserve-3d". Игровая логика написана на JavaScript, используя в качестве эталона оригинальный код игры DOOM, открытый компанией id Software. Наработки проекта опубликованы под лицензией GPLv2.

📰 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.
