Valve recently published a Steam Deck Verified rating for the smash-hit extraction shooter ARC Raiders. I decided to see if it deserved the rating.

With close to 100 hours on my Linux desktop where it has been working beautifully, I feel like I have a decent enough grasp on how it should feel by now. It's also one of the few bigger games like this that actually has the anti-cheat enabled for Linux / SteamOS which is going to be a big problem for the Steam Machine, so it's quite an important one. There's many that simply disable Linux support as noted on our anti-cheat page.

With the latest minor update, the newer Quake II re-release that saw Nightdive Studios jump in to improve it is now Steam Deck Verified.

Back in August 2023 the re-release update came with lots of enhancements to the classic including the expansions, Quake 64, big multiplayer improvements and various gameplay improvements. It was quite the overhaul for the classic shooter. Valve's original rating was Steam Deck Playable but that was from their test in 2022.

A small update was pushed to the game with no patch notes on what they changed, they simply said "Quake II is now Steam Deck Verified and Handheld Optimized on Xbox ROG Ally devices" and with that - it's now Steam Deck Verified. So now you're truly good to go across Desktop Linux, Steam Deck and other SteamOS machines and it should work without much of a fuss at all.

The upcoming Linux 6.19 kernel cycle is set to introduce support for the Realtek RTL8125K as a forthcoming Ethernet ASIC.

The Realtek RTL8125K doesn't appear to have been formally announced yet or at least isn't showing up anywhere prominent online. The Linux enablement patches coming for the Linux 6.19 kernel put the RTL8125K as an extension of the Realtek RTL8125D 2.5G Ethernet ASICs already launched and supported by the mainline Linux kernel last year.

The Servo open-source web browser engine has been making good progress in recent times. Long outside the confines of Mozilla and working as a Linux Foundation Europe project, Servo has been advancing thanks to Igalia and other open-source developers while getting by on around ~$5.7k USD per month thanks mostly to donations from individuals. Servo has now announced sponsorship tiers in hopefully to solicit more donations from larger organizations.

Servo's sponsorship tiers announced today range from the "bronze" level at $100 USD per month up to the top-tier "platinum" level with $10k USD monthly contributions from organizations (or individuals). Those contributing at the different sponsorship tiers will be featured on the project's homepage.

Yesterday, we escalated our #UnfairLaborPractice #strike by heading straight to York, Pennsylvania, home to #Starbucks’ biggest East Coast distribution center with a message: If Starbucks won’t meet us at the table, we’ll meet them at their supply chain. We'll keep escalating, or we'll bring the picket line to them.
