Happy hacking!
GOG is already working on native Linux support
https://www.theverge.com/tech/875425/gog-native-linux-support
I saw this on a Finnish post, so let me reformulate it a bit and post it in English.
Finnish universities 1996:
"Here's an operating system we created for you. Here's a chat network we created you can use with the operating system."
Finnish universities 2026:
"We don't know how to replace Facebook for public communications."
Learned helplessness.

haben wir auf unserer Webseite einige Impressionen von unserem Beitrag zum Linux Präsentationstag abgelegt. Auch wieder mit einer Collage. War wieder ein sehr informativer Nachmittag beim Theo!
Viel Spaß beim Lesen! Ihre LUG Nürnberg.
Vielen Dank an alle, welche uns besucht haben. Bis zum nächsten mal.
Am 05.02. findet der Linux-Treff Nord beim Theo in der Schnepfenreuther Hauptstraße 19 statt.
Hier gibt es ab 18:00 Uhr gutes Essen und dann ab ca. 19:30 Uhr geht es mit #Linux und freier Software weiter.
Es steht u.a. folgendes an:
- Digital Independence Day,
- Wir installieren Linux auf alte Rechner,
- und wer sonst noch etwas mitbringt.
Der Treff findet im kleinen Saal statt.
Wenn Dich freie Software und Linux interessiert komm doch vorbei.

I built a latency meter with an Arduino and a photo transistor to answer one question: Is click-to-photon latency higher on Wayland than on X11?
And the answer is: Yes, actually.
⏱️ 42 ms on X11, compositing off
⏱️ 56 ms on X11, compositing on
⏱️ 64 ms on Wayland
⏱️ 71 ms on Windows 10
Tested with Plasma 6.3.4 and Firefox 137. I will improve my methods and confirm these numbers. See replies for details.

I want to give #Mastodon a proper go this time, but it's hard to connect with people when no-one follows you, and hashtags only get you so far. 😞
So, if you like one of the hashtags below, please consider following me, and if you do, I'll follow you back! Thank you. 💗

This, by @tinker, from a really useful thread on lessons learned from running a #Linux install party, and on #RepairCafes in general.
Designing a repair cafe around a nearly universal frustration (a.k.a. Microsoft Windows) is a really, REALLY good way to bring the concept of #MutualAid into the mainstream. (Or, more to the point, to warm the mainstream to the concept of mutual aid networks.)

Jahresplan für mehr digitale Souveränität!
Monat Februar 2026
Digitale Sicherheit beginnt bei den Zugängen!
Der Schutz der eigenen digitalen Identität wirkt auf den ersten Blick wie ein technisches Spezialthema. In der Praxis sind es jedoch meist ganz banale Schwachstellen, über die Angreifer Zugang erhalten, schwache oder mehrfach verwendete Passwörter und fehlende zusätzliche Absicherung. Identitätsdiebstahl, Kontoübernahmen oder Datenlecks entstehen selten durch ausgefeilte Hacks, sondern fast immer durch vermeidbare Alltagsfehler. Genau deshalb lohnt es sich, bei den Grundlagen anzusetzen und Gewohnheiten zu ändern, statt auf komplizierte Technik zu setzen.

New #intro!
I’m a hyperjack musician, writer & video artist. My latest album, ‘Status’, is mainly about escaping Big Tech dystopia.
My website https://meljoann.com includes nerdy blog posts on Faircamp, Owncast & leaving mainstream social media.
Some stuff I love:

Our motto is »#Linux #OpenSource News & #KnowHow for #Office Tasks.«
Our posts are for #solopreneurs, #trainers, #facilitators, and everybody else who tackles their office tasks using open source software under Linux.
While we appreciate #portability, we're strictly Linux-only. With respect to other operating systems: no bashing, no praise, no comparisons. We've already made our choice.

So why is Microsoft insisting on pushing out a feature it is very clear users just do not want? What is the point of it? It just does not make any sense. Recall makes no sense. It is one of rather many functions that Microsoft wants to force people into using.
Personally I also do not want Copilot on my computer and the idea that there can be a key on my keyboard that I can press that will enable by mistake it is not what I would think most people want.
I believe that there should be a very clear line between what is on your computer and what is in the cloud. Forcing people to log into a Microsoft online account to use their computer is crazy. Having people mistakenly enabling OneDrive is another disaster.
I guess this is all a great opportunity for Linux.
